Krea 2 Image AI Handles Photorealistic and Anime Styles

Krea 2, a free image generation AI model released on June 23, can produce both photorealistic and anime-style images on local PCs. Developed by cloud AI company Krea, it offers high quality and fast generation, outperforming existing local models like Z-Image Turbo and Anima. The model interprets text prompts well but lacks character consistency.

Krea 2 is an open model independently developed by Krea, a company that provides cloud AI services centered on image AI. The article notes that among local image generation AIs, Z-Image Turbo excels at photorealistic images and Anima at anime, but Krea 2 feels outstandingly higher in performance compared to both. The stability of the art style stands out most, though the model lacks a mechanism to maintain character consistency across generations. On an NVIDIA RTX 4090, a 1280x1280 image takes about 15 to 30 seconds.
