Image Generator "Krea 2" Released — Style Transfer to Mass-Produce While Keeping Your Look

What happened: The image-generation service Krea released "Krea 2," its first in-house image foundation model built fully from scratch. It's designed to prioritize aesthetic and creative control over photorealism.

Why it matters: It includes a mechanism that decomposes the style component from a reference image and transfers it to the output, letting you blend multiple styles and adjust their strength. Available on the Max and Business plans starting May 13. (As of 2026-05-31.)

What it means: It suits people who want to mass-produce illustrations and designs while keeping a "consistent look." It's a candidate as an option that makes authorial character easier to express, distinct from the GPT Image and Nano Banana families.
