Krea AI has launched Krea 3, a new image model for fast, precise image editing. According to Testing Catalog, the model can merge independent references of people, clothing, and scenes into a single image while keeping faces and color grading consistent; on the real-image editing benchmark CPI-Bench, Krea 3 Ultra scored 4.81 out of 5, second only to GPT Image 2.5 and ahead of all other image models. On the same day, Krea 3 launched on ComfyUI through Partner Nodes, supporting multi-reference image input and targeted editing, where users can reference each reference image by number in upload order, specify product labels, shapes, and materials to preserve while changing the scene, lighting, or composition, and run it via Comfy credits. Krea 3 subsequently launched on OpenRouter, where it can accept 1 to 4 reference images plus a prompt and return native 2K edited images, with most edits taking under 8 seconds end to end; pricing is $0.03 per 1K image and $0.06 per 2K image, with reference images at $0.02 per 1K image and $0.07 per 2K image, thinking_mode defaults to fast with a $0.02 surcharge when set to high, and it uses the Images API shared with other image models.

Krea 3 is now live on OpenRouter. This is Krea's new image editing model, which accepts 1 to 4 reference images plus a prompt and returns natively 2K edited images, with most edits completing end-to-end in under 8 seconds. Pricing is $0.03 per 1K image and $0.06 per 2K image; reference images cost $0.02 per 1K image and $0.07 per 2K image. thinking_mode defaults to fast; when more prompt reasoning is needed, it can be set to high for an additional $0.02. It shares the same Images API as other image models, so migration only requires changing the model ID.
