Krea API Endpoints and Their Generation Modalities

A side-by-side view of the inputs, outputs, and per-image pricing behind every Krea API endpoint on Atlas Cloud.

ModalityDescription
Krea 2 Turbo API (Text to Image)Feed a text prompt and receive high-fidelity images within seconds, powered by Krea 2 Turbo, the speed-optimized open-source version of Krea 2 that preserves its full aesthetic range. Pick from six sizes spanning square 1024x1024 down to portrait and landscape ratios, batch up to four images per call, and export as PNG or JPEG at $0.008 per image. This endpoint is built for rapid ideation, concept boards, and high-volume design iteration.

Speed and the Full Krea Aesthetic in One Krea API

The Krea API exposes Krea 2 Turbo as an eight-step distilled text-to-image engine that renders high-fidelity visuals in seconds, spans six aspect ratios, returns up to four images per call, and locks any result with a seed, all through one OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Eight-Step Turbo Distillation

Eight-Step Turbo Distillation

Krea 2 Turbo is an eight-step distilled checkpoint that converts a text prompt into a finished, high-fidelity image in seconds. It preserves the aesthetic range of the full Krea 2 foundation model while cutting inference time sharply, so quality survives the speed gain. Reach for it when you need dozens of looks fast, whether you are sketching concepts, filling a moodboard, or iterating toward a final frame.

Foundation-Model Aesthetics

Foundation-Model Aesthetics

Built on Krea's first foundation image model, Krea 2 Turbo carries an aesthetic sensibility trained on how images feel rather than only what they contain. That range stretches from photographic realism to illustration, anime, and stylized fashion work without swapping models. If your product needs one engine that stays convincing across very different visual briefs, this breadth is the reason to choose it.

Six Aspect Ratios on One Krea API

Six Aspect Ratios on One Krea API

Pick your frame directly in the request: the Krea API accepts six image sizes, including square, square HD at 1024 by 1024, portrait 3:4 and 9:16, and landscape 4:3 and 16:9. Each preset is passed as a single parameter, so composition matches its destination from the first render. This keeps social posts, product tiles, and hero banners on-spec without any downstream cropping.

Four Variations per Call

Four Variations per Call

A single request can return up to four alternatives from one prompt when num_images is set between one and four. Pair that with a fixed seed and any result becomes reproducible, so you lock a composition and then vary only the wording around it. These controls turn one call into a compact exploration grid, ideal for A/B selection and client review rounds.

One Key and Transparent Pricing

One Key and Transparent Pricing

Every generation runs through one OpenAI-compatible key at a flat 0.008 dollars per image, with pay-as-you-go billing and no subscription. Outputs return as PNG or JPEG, chosen per request, and Day-0 access means the model is live the moment it ships. For teams scaling from a prototype to production traffic, predictable per-call cost keeps the math simple.

Krea API Head-to-Head: One Prompt Across Three Image Models

Run an identical prompt through the Krea API alongside two rival text-to-image models and watch how each interprets the same scene, letting you weigh detail, mood, and aesthetic range before you pick your production model.

Prompt

Afternoon light in a cramped vintage clothing shop, editorial-grade documentary photography, 35mm street-shot feel with subtle film grain. A young woman with a high ponytail bursts into genuine laughter as a toppling armful of old wool sweaters and silk scarves slips from her arms — garments caught mid-fall, half-scattered in the air, her hands scrambling to catch them in a flurry of motion blur. The soul of the frame is light: a hard, golden shaft slicing diagonally from a high side window, cutting across the dim gloom of the store, dust motes churning into visible glowing particles inside the beam, the light column doubling as a diagonal leading line. Composition layers a foreground row of clothing rails thrown soft and out of focus, placing her at the golden-ratio landing point of the beam, depth stacking through worn wood shelving and aged brass hangers behind. Cool-warm balance — the warm shaft slicing against blue-grey shadows, scattered garments punching red-and-green complementary color pops. Rich distinct materials: the fuzzy nap of wool, the slick sheen of silk scarves, weathered wood grain, cracked leather price tags — the fibers and floating dust hold up to close magnification. A decisive, alive moment: the micro-expression of a real unposed smile, mid-tumble fabric caught in the air, volumetric god-rays through dust. Warm, restrained, unglamorized color, natural skin, no over-rendering. Shot on 35mm, shallow depth of field, wide horizontal landscape framing filling the entire frame, wide 16:9 aspect ratio, full-bleed.

Prompt

Overhead spread of a Mediterranean summer breakfast on a weathered olive-wood table, torn crusty sourdough, a halved fig glistening with seeds, blistered cherry tomatoes, and a dented tin of olive oil catching low window light, dense clusters set against deliberate pockets of negative space, raking side light throwing long soft shadows and picking out every crumb and grain of the wood, warm amber and deep-green palette, tactile analog texture, editorial food photography, top-down flatlay, wide 16:9 aspect ratio, full-bleed landscape composition

Krea API: Frequently Asked Questions

The Krea API gives developers access to Krea's image generation models through Atlas Cloud's single OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Krea is an independent AI lab, and the API currently serves Krea 2 Turbo for high-fidelity text-to-image generation. You integrate it with one key alongside 300+ other models on the same platform.

Access runs through Krea 2 Turbo text-to-image, the speed-optimized, open-source version of Krea 2. It is an 8-step distilled checkpoint built for fast inference while preserving Krea 2's aesthetic range for rapid ideation.

You can turn a written prompt into high-fidelity images in seconds, across a broad range of styles from photorealistic looks to illustration and concept art. Because it is tuned for speed, it suits rapid iteration where you refine a prompt and regenerate many variations quickly.

Sign up on Atlas Cloud, generate one OpenAI-compatible key, and point your base URL at the Atlas Cloud endpoint. Send a request to the model krea-2-turbo/text-to-image with your prompt, and no separate SDK or new integration pattern is required. Start building today.

The model accepts preset sizes including square_hd at 1024x1024, square at 512x512, portrait 3:4, portrait 9:16, landscape 4:3, and landscape 16:9. Output can be returned as PNG or JPEG, and you can request between one and four images in a single call. A seed value is available when you need reproducible results.

Pricing is pay-as-you-go and dollar-denominated, so you are billed a transparent rate per generation rather than through opaque compute units. Krea 2 Turbo is priced at $0.008 per image, and you only pay for the calls you make. This makes production cost easy to forecast as volume scales.

Built as an 8-step distilled checkpoint, Krea 2 Turbo is optimized to return high-fidelity results in seconds, which is what makes it practical for interactive and high-throughput workflows. Each request can produce up to four images, letting you generate a batch of options in one call.

Krea 2 Turbo is the smaller, speed-optimized checkpoint distilled for fast text-to-image generation and released open source on Hugging Face. The full Krea 2 model is larger and adds inputs such as style references and moodboards, trading some latency for that extra control. If your priority is quick text-to-image output, Turbo is the leaner, faster choice.
