Krea 3 – Frontier Image Model 4× faster than Nano Banana Pro
Krea 3 is an image editing model designed for production use. It makes targeted changes to images based on user requests, and it can complete edits in under a second while costing just a few cents per image. Users can access Krea 3 through the world's leading organizations, which utilize it to enhance their respective industries.
One notable feature of Krea 3 is its ability to perform regional editing, where it only alters the specified portion of an image while preserving the rest of the content. This is demonstrated by editing a single image using three separate edits, and the model accurately measures the changed pixels against the original image.
Krea 3 allows users to specify changes using color codes or swatches. For example, users can describe a scene, such as seating a woman at a candlelit Art Deco bar while changing her sweater and adding a silver bag to the counter. Krea 3 can also modify the styling, setting, and mood of an image while maintaining the familiarity of the subject's face.
Krea 3 renders images at 2K resolution by default, allowing users to zoom in and view the model's output with precision. When comparing Krea 3 to other image editing models like Nano Banana Pro and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst, Krea 3 demonstrates significantly faster performance. For instance, Krea 3 completes edits in 8 seconds per image, whereas Nano Banana Pro takes 26.8 seconds and GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst requires 39.9 seconds for a 12-image batch, including queue time.
The pricing for Krea 3 is listed at a competitive rate, and the company expects the price to decrease over time rather than increase. The model is particularly effective at product scene changes, object removal, and photo cleanup, making it a valuable tool for enterprises. Krea 3 can be accessed through the Krea API or the Krea app, and the company offers volume pricing evaluations to potential clients.
