Krea 2 Medium Turbo
Krea · AI imageKrea 2 Medium Turbo is the experimental fast variant of Krea 2 Medium. It keeps the same expressive, painterly aesthetic and the same input schema, with lower latency and a lower price—built for illustration, anime, and other artistic styles.
Use it when you want quick iteration on stylized frames: mood, line quality, and color can be steered with optional style reference images.
Key features and benefits
Fast artistic generation
Optimized for low-latency generation while preserving Krea 2 Medium’s style and consistency. Strong on illustration, anime, and painterly looks rather than photorealism.
Style references
Pass up to 10 style reference images. Krea extracts their look and applies it to the output. Strength is tunable on the API; VidMachine sends your project or playground references as style images.
Aspect ratios
Native support for 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 2.35:1, 4:5, 2:3, and 9:16—including the vertical and landscape ratios used for Shorts and YouTube.
Tunable creativity
The model’s creativity input ranges from raw (render only what you describe) to high (meaningful creative liberty). VidMachine uses the API default of low so scene prompts stay close to the brief.
