Quick verdict
Krea makes and edits images, video, 3D and audio on the web and in an iPhone and iPad app, with its own Krea 3 model beside third-party models from Google, OpenAI, Black Forest Labs, ByteDance, Kling, Runway and others. Everything is paid in compute units. Free gives 100 units a day, refilled daily: about 5 Krea 3 images or two 5-second LTX-2 clips at 512p, by Krea's estimate. Basic is $9 a month for 5,000 units, with all image models and selected video models. Pro is $35 a month for 20,000 units and all video models. Max is $105 a month at its default 60,000 units, with a slider from 40,000 units ($70) to 100,000 ($165), and adds Krea 3 Ultra and unlimited relaxed generation on supported in-house image models. Paid units do not roll over. Krea's pricing page does not say whether prices include tax.
Yearly billing is 40% off and paid up front: Pro is $21 a month ($252 a year by our calculation), Max $63 at 60,000 units ($756) and $99 at 100,000 units ($1,188). For Basic, Krea's pricing page disagrees with itself: the plan card shows $5 a month billed yearly, the compare table $5.25, which is $63 a year by our calculation.
Commercial use is the line between free and paid. Krea's pricing page crosses out the commercial license on Free, and its FAQ says Basic, Pro and Max include one for all generated content. Krea says it adds no visible watermark to videos, though some providers embed invisible markers, such as SynthID in Veo videos. We found no training opt-out for individual plans; Krea advertises no-training clauses only for Business. This verdict rests on what Krea documents, not on our tests, which we have not run yet.
Strengths and limits
Strengths
- Many model makers in one pickerOn every plan, a model picker covers Krea's own models and models from Google, OpenAI, Black Forest Labs, ByteDance, Alibaba, Kling, MiniMax, Runway and others. Basic opens all image models, such as Nano Banana Pro and GPT Image 2.5; Pro opens all video models, such as Veo 3.1, Kling 4.0 and Seedance 2.5.
- SVG and background removal for freeThe Vectorizer turns a JPG, PNG, AVIF or WebP of up to 5 MB into SVG artwork, and can be tried without an account. The Background Remover exports a transparent PNG from uploads of up to 25 MB, free and with no signup.
- No visible watermark on videoKrea says it does not add a visible watermark to the videos you generate, on any plan. Some model providers embed invisible markers, such as SynthID in Veo videos.
- Plugins for creative appsKrea lists plugins for Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Blender, a ChatGPT app, an MCP server for Claude and Cursor, and Krea for Slack.
- Audio and lip sync on paid plansPaid plans list music from ElevenLabs Music (up to 5 minutes), MiniMax and Google Lyria, voiceovers of up to 2,000 characters per take in 21 ElevenLabs voices or your own cloned voice, dubbing into 25 languages, and lip sync that turns a portrait into a talking video.
Limits
- No commercial license on FreePlan limit. Krea's pricing card and compare table cross out the commercial license on Free, and the FAQ lists it only for Basic and higher. Anything you may sell or use for a client needs a paid plan.
- No training opt-out foundNot verified. We found no opt-out setting. Krea's Terms, last updated May 20, 2024, give Krea a broad license to your submissions, and the pricing page lists no-training clauses only for Business.
- Units do not roll overPlan limit. Paid individual plans have no rollover, and only Max adds unlimited relaxed generation, on supported in-house image models. One-time compute packs, valid 90 days, can be bought on paid plans; Free cannot buy them.
- Krea's pages disagree on Free audio and lip syncConflict. Krea's audio docs say audio integrations are on all plans and the compare table marks lip sync models as Limited on Free, while the voice generator and lip sync pages say both need a paid plan. The Basic yearly price also differs on the pricing page: $5 or $5.25 a month.
- Not a footage editor or logo makerWorkflow limit. Video tools restyle, extend and upscale clips with models; a trim, cut and arrange editor for your own footage is not documented. No logo maker or logo mode was found; Krea's brand pages say to upload your existing logo.
Based on what Krea AI, Inc. documents for each plan, not on our tests.
Who it suits
A good fit if you
- Trying images and video from many model makers under one subscription
- Converting images to SVG, or removing backgrounds, without paying
- Commercial images and video on any paid plan, from $9 a month
- Generating from inside Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Blender or Slack
Look elsewhere if you
- Commercial work on Free: no commercial license
- Keeping your uploads out of training on an individual plan: no opt-out documented
- Heavy use on Basic or Pro: no rollover and no relaxed mode below Max
- Editing your own video footage on a timeline: not documented

What it documents for each use
- Images & Design Create images from a description · Make graphics for posts and slides · Edit my own photos · Remove a background · Make images with exact text
- Video & Animation Make short videos from a description · Turn a photo into a video · Make a video with a presenter
- Business & Productivity Connect AI to the apps I already use

A use is listed when at least one plan documents every feature a task needs. Answer quality is a separate question: see below.
Using it day to day
Krea runs on the web and in an iOS app for iPhone and iPad that syncs with the web; we found no Android or desktop app. An API is sold separately. Krea Agent, a chat agent that plans creative jobs, is open on every plan, including Free. It accepts dragged files and folders, keeps a context library that works as a file system, and remembers preferences you state in chat. Custom agents with their own instructions are Enterprise only.
Usage is counted in compute units: 100 a day on Free, 5,000 a month on Basic, 20,000 on Pro and 60,000 or 100,000 on Max. Krea estimates Basic at about 112 Nano Banana 2 images or 16 Seedance 2.5 videos, and Pro at about 450 images or 65 videos. Video clips run 5 to 12 seconds and can be extended. Free upscales to 2K; paid plans reach up to 22K with Topaz upscalers. Basic includes LoRA training on 50 images and Nodes, Pro adds App Builder, which turns node workflows into reusable apps, and Max allows unlimited LoRA training on up to 2,000 images. Krea's pricing page shows USD prices, but the researchers could not confirm it was the US view.
Privacy, data and ads
Krea's Terms, last updated May 20, 2024, give Krea a broad license to your submissions. We found no setting to opt out of training on individual plans; the pricing page offers no-training clauses only on Business. The Privacy Policy lists a right to access and request a copy of your personal data in a machine-readable format, and generations download from the app. Whether Krea shows ads in the app is not verified; the Privacy Policy covers advertising cookies you can accept or reject. No storage amount is stated for any plan.
Read the vendor's own page: Krea privacy and data controls. We make no legal or compliance claim.

Getting started
- Start on Free with 100 units a day, and treat what you make as non-commercial: Free has no commercial license.
- Try the Vectorizer and Background Remover, which work without an account.
- If you will publish or sell anything, subscribe before you make it: Basic at $9 a month includes a commercial license. Choose Pro for all video models, or Max for unlimited relaxed images.
- Watch the unit estimate before each generation, since video uses far more units than images and paid units do not roll over.
- Compare Krea with other image tools on our tools page, and read how we check vendor claims.

- Adobe Firefly Adobe says it does not train generative AI models on your content (except content you submit to Adobe Stock), and a free Adobe account gets limited free daily generations across image, video and audio. About Adobe Firefly
- Midjourney Midjourney has no free plan, but its Standard plan, at $30 a month before tax, gives unlimited Relax Mode images, and its Terms say you own what you make. About Midjourney
