AI image generation creates original pictures from text descriptions called prompts. You simply type what you want to see (for example, "a sunset over mountains") and the AI uses your words to create a unique image. The technology works by studying millions of existing images to learn patterns, colors, shapes, and styles, then applies this knowledge to generate completely new pictures based on your specific request.

The best AI image generator depends on your specific needs. For photorealistic images and speed, Krea-1 is the best. For precise editing, Nano Banana is the best. For training your own styles or characters, Flux is the best. For prompt adherence, ChatGPT image is the best. Krea provides access to all the best in class models in one platform.

Most images generate in just a few seconds on Krea, though generation speed depends on the model. Our own Krea 1 model is optimized for speed, generating 4 images per request in 7 seconds on average. Krea-1 also allows you to view the image as it generates, reducing the perceived wait time.

Krea offers free AI image generation, so you can try the magic of AI without spending a cent. You can generate several images per day at no charge, enough to experiment with different prompts, styles and models.

Our Krea-1 model can generate HD 4k images with crisp details (16MP resolution) and outstanding color accuracy. That's suitable for nearly any digital use you can think of and and most print use cases, including magazines, books, marketing materials, prints and posters.

Other models generate initial images at varying resolutions, most commonly at 1MP resolution. However, you can use Krea's Enhancer Tool to upscale images generated in lower-resolution models, bringing them up to the same 4k quality as Krea-1's images.
