Krea 3: how to edit a picture in plain words

Krea 3 changes a picture when you tell it what to change. Give it a photo and a sentence, and it edits. Give it nothing but a sentence, and it draws from scratch. It can take up to eight pictures at once and combine them.

That makes it the model to reach for when the words matter more than the settings. Ask in plain language and say exactly what you want different.

Say what changes. Then say what stays.

Its price, limits and settings are on the Krea 3 model page. This guide is about what to write.

Overview

• Two jobs, one box. With no picture attached, Krea 3 is text-to-image. With pictures attached, it edits or combines them.
• Four settings. 1K Fast, 1K High, 2K Fast and 2K High. The setting sets both the resolution and how hard the model plans before it draws. 2K Fast is the default.
• Up to eight pictures, shared with any Subject pictures or recipe references in the same request.
• Ten shapes, from 1:1 to 21:9, including 9:16 and 4:5 for phones.

The rules

1. Lead with the change

Start the sentence with what should be different: “Put a red scarf on her.” “Turn the sky to dusk.” “Replace the mug with a glass of orange juice.” Krea 3 reads the first clause as the job.

2. Then name what stays

An edit can touch pixels you did not mention. Add one sentence that pins the rest: “Keep her face, the pose and the background exactly the same.” It costs a few words and saves a retry.

3. Point at pictures by what they show and where they sit

When you attach several pictures, refer to each one by its content and its order: “Put the sneaker from the second image on the person in the first image.” “Image 2” on its own is weaker than “the white sneaker in the second image.”

4. One change per request when it matters

Krea 3 can take several instructions at once, but every extra change is another place to drift. For a product shot or a face you care about, make one change, check it, then make the next from the result.

5. Use High for hard edits

Fast suits everyday requests. Switch to 1K High or 2K High for multi-step or fiddly edits, such as moving an object, matching light across combined pictures or changing several things that interact. High plans before it draws.

6. Give it the best source you have

Small text and faces come out only as clear as the input. Attach the original photo, not a screenshot of a thumbnail. Kuro resizes each reference to at most two megapixels before sending it, so a bigger file does not cost more and an upscaled one gains nothing.

7. Do not expect the same picture twice

Krea 3 expands your prompt before drawing, and that step varies between runs. The same sentence can give two different results. Keep the one you like and edit from it.

What it cannot do

• More than eight pictures in one request: use Nano Banana 2.1.
• A vector file for a logo or an icon: use a Recraft SVG model. Krea 3 draws pixels.
• A final image larger than 2K: pick a model with a higher output resolution.
• Negative prompts, seeds and region masks: Kuro does not expose them for Krea 3. Say what you want in the sentence instead.

Try it

Open Krea 3 in Kuro, attach one photo, and write one sentence: what changes, then what stays. Each 2K Fast image costs 5 credits.
