Krea 3 is an image editing model built for production use. It changes only what the user asks for, finishes an edit in under a few seconds, and costs a fraction of many rival models per image. The model is designed to redraw only the area inside a box the user draws, leaving the rest of the image untouched.
Krea 3 supports precise controls for production work. Users can name a hex code and the model matches that exact color on the product alone. It can also reference up to eight images at once by number, placing people, products, places and styles into one picture, and it keeps character faces consistent across a sequence of edits. Output is native 2K, at 2736 × 1536 pixels.
In a pre-generated comparison of twelve identical prompts, Krea 3 finished each edit in an illustrative 8 seconds at roughly $0.06 per edit. Nano Banana Pro took a median of 26.8 seconds at about $0.135 per edit, and GPT Image 2.5 took 39.9 seconds at an estimated $0.21 per edit. The company says the timings include queue time and that costs are approximate list prices excluding promotions.
The company positions the model for designers making posters, packaging, branding, covers and ads, where the layout and type stay fixed while the product, photo or brand is swapped. In a precision test, Krea 3 is described as leaving pixels outside the edit area unchanged, with the share of unchanged pixels measured against the original image.
