Krea Edit interface with AI-powered region editing

Krea Edit is a rebuilt editing tool that gives you direct control over specific parts of an image. Select a region, describe what you want, and the AI changes just that area while leaving everything else untouched.

Editing AI images used to mean regenerating the whole thing and hoping the part you liked stayed the same. With Krea Edit, you point at the thing you want to change and describe the change. The rest of the image holds.

Region editing

Draw a rectangle, paint with the brush, or click an object to auto-select it. Once you have a selection, type what you want that area to become. The model fills it in, matching the lighting and style of the surrounding image.

You can also move objects around. Grab something in the scene, drag it to a new position, and the tool inpaints the gap it left behind. Expand the borders of an image by dragging outward and describing what should fill the new space.

Creative controls

Beyond region edits, Krea Edit includes a set of tools that change the character of an entire image. Relight a scene by placing up to four virtual lights, each with its own color, brightness, and position. Adjust camera angles to render new perspectives of the same subject. Apply a color palette to shift the mood of a shot.

There's also a camera lens simulator. Pick a camera body, a lens type, a focal length, and an aperture. The model re-renders the image as if it were shot with that setup. A portrait on a Petzval lens at f/1.4 looks different from the same portrait on a tilt-shift at f/8.

Colorize turns grayscale images into color. You can drop color hints onto specific areas to guide it, or let the model decide on its own.

How to open it

You can open Krea Edit from any image you've generated. Look for the edit button in the lower-right corner of the screen. Click it and the editor opens as an overlay with the image already loaded, ready to work on. You can also go directly to krea.ai/edit and drop in any image.

Every edit stacks. You can make a regional change, relight the result, shift the palette, and keep going. The generation history strip at the bottom tracks each step so you can go back to any earlier version.

The idea

Generating an image is one step. Getting it to look exactly the way you want is the rest. Krea Edit is built around that second part: the fine-grained, iterative work that turns a good generation into a finished piece. The most capable tools should be the simplest to use, and that applies to editing just as much as it does to generating.
