Prepare a Krea2 reference image that gives one clear direction
- Choose one readable reference
- Start with an image that has a dominant visual idea. Crop away unrelated panels, borders, or text before upload when they are not part of the target style.
- Name the new content
- Write the new subject, action, and required frame in plain language. Do not ask the reference to communicate content that the prompt never states.
- Call out the borrowed traits
- Mention the two or three reference qualities that matter most, such as palette, grain, light, print texture, or perspective.
- Check the task boundary
- If the result needs exact identity, typography, pose, or product geometry, move to a true preservation-led edit route instead of forcing style transfer to do that job.

Two references are mixed at equal strength, which demonstrates weighted style mixing rather than a literal edit.

Krea2 image2image: which “img2img” do you mean?
- Hosted Krea style reference
- Best when the new output should inherit a palette, texture, medium, lighting logic, or overall aesthetic direction.
- Traditional latent img2img
- Community ComfyUI workflows encode an input image into latents and vary denoise strength. That is separate from Krea’s documented style-reference API.
- Instruction-based editing
- Use an edit-oriented model when the request is “keep this person or product, but replace one part.” Exact preservation is a different task.
Krea2 img2img FAQ
Does Krea 2 support img2img?+
Krea 2 supports image style references: one or more uploaded images can guide the look of a newly generated image. This is reference-guided generation, not guaranteed pixel-preserving editing.
How does Krea2 image2image work?+
Krea2 image2image uses the uploaded image as style guidance while the text prompt defines the new subject and scene. It is useful for transferring palette, texture, lighting, medium, and composition habits, but it is not designed to preserve every source pixel.
What makes a good Krea2 reference image?+
Choose one image with a readable visual idea: a dominant palette, consistent light, clear surface treatment, recognizable medium, or strong framing. Crop away unrelated panels, borders, and text unless they are part of the look you want to transfer.
What does the uploaded image control?+
It can guide palette, texture, lighting, composition style, medium, and overall visual language. The written prompt still defines the new subject and scene.
Will Krea 2 keep the same face or product?+
Do not assume so. Use an identity-aware or instruction-led edit model when a face, logo, package, pose, or exact geometry must remain stable.
How many reference images should I upload?+
The provider schema supports multiple style references, but one coherent image is the best baseline. Add more only when each reference contributes a compatible and intentional trait.
Is my upload sent to Krea 2 on this page?+
Yes. The live route maps uploaded files to the Krea 2 Medium image_style_references input and keeps the prompt as the new-content instruction.
