Choose what to make
- Text → Image — a prompt.
- 3
Write the prompt
One shot per prompt works best. Cover these, in plain sentences:
- Subject. The main subject and its key details: material, colour, expression, product features.
- Composition. Framing and angle: close-up, flat lay, three-quarter view, rule of thirds, negative space.
- Setting and light. Background, environment and lighting: studio softbox, golden hour, neon.
- Style. Photo, illustration, 3D render or painting — plus lens or medium details.

The exact price is shown before you run: press Generate (or ⌘/Ctrl + Enter). The amount is held from your balance and refunded in full if the generation fails.

Download and iterate
Results appear above the prompt; download them from there. Change one thing per try — the prompt, the composition or a setting — so you know what helped. Compare runs the same prompt on several models side by side, and Code shows the same request for the API.

Common Krea 2 Turbo mistakes
Drafting at 1K 16:9
Every try at 1K 16:9 costs 1.7× one at 1K square. Settle the composition and motion at 1K square, then render the keeper at the size you deliver.
Describing what you don't want
Prompts work better when they describe what should be on screen. "No blur" or "no extra fingers" can pull the result towards the very thing you name.
