Krea 2 Medium: lock this still before you buy motion (3cr)

Krea 2 Medium is the stills row. Animate after approval. Do not generate the pack inside the video model. Catalog copy: Krea 2 Medium text-to-image. Fast, photoreal generation with tunable creativity levels and optional style references. 3 credits. Image content type. No duration. Audio empty. Max output unset. Requires no image. The still you approve here is the still you animate later. The video model is not a Krea substitute.

There is no Krea brand page in the published provider roster, so stay on this slug, the text-to-image tool, and best image generator. For style-reference practice, Krea 2 photoreal style references is the longer note.

Medium is the still you iterate on

"Medium" is a quality tier, not a video length. Tunable creativity is a stills knob: tighter when the SKU must match, looser when you are hunting a look. Use the tight end for the lock you will animate. Use the loose end for the mood board you will throw away.

Aspects include 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 4:5, 2:3, 9:16, and 2.35:1. That last one is a stills widescreen, not a clip. Crop for the platform before you fall in love with a 2.35:1 frame you cannot ship as a Reel.

3 credits is Seedream 4 money without Seedream 4's listed 4K ceiling. Do not promise 4K from an empty max_output_resolution. Inspect the file.

Style references are not motion

reference_config allows up to 10 images. Those are style and look refs for a still, not a first frame and not a character bible for video. Optional means you can run from text only. When you do attach refs, attach a look, not ten near-duplicates of the product from mixed light.

A style ref will not make Krea 2 Medium an image-to-video model. You will still get a still. After you pick one, image-to-video is the motion door.

If the still is almost right, do not crank creativity and re-roll a new person. Edit, or lower creativity and keep the identity.

Three credits per approval, not per second

There are no seconds. A "5-second Krea clip" is a misunderstanding of the category. Generate stills at 3 credits until the photoreal frame is the one you would send a client. Then buy seconds on a video row.

Features listed: Text-to-image, Photoreal, Style-references, Krea. That is the whole product. No audio, no duration list, no 1080p/4K quality array.

Cheapest image is 1-credit neighborhood. Medium is 3 credits when you want photoreal plus a creativity dial plus optional style refs. Flux 2 Max is 7 when the still has to be the maximum photoreal bet. Pick the stills row that matches the stills job. Then stop generating stills inside Kling.

FAQ

Does Krea 2 Medium output video?

No. Text-to-image, empty durations, empty audio. 3 credits per still.

What are the style references for?

Optional look refs on a still — up to 10 images. They are not a first-frame contract and not a video identity stack.

Is 4K listed?

No. max_output_resolution is empty. Use the aspect list, generate, and inspect. Do not invent a 4K toggle.

Why lock here instead of in the video model?

Because 3 credits is a still you can throw away. Video credits are a clip you cannot un-generate. Approve the photoreal frame on Medium, then animate.
