Frequently Asked Questions

Copy any prompt, paste it into Krea's image generation or real-time canvas, then swap the [BRACKETED PLACEHOLDERS] for your own subject, product, or colors. Generate, then refine using Krea's live controls until the result matches your vision. Most prompts work as-is, but small tweaks to lighting or style cues sharpen the output.

Yes. The concept-art and product prompts in particular pair well with the real-time canvas, where you can rough in shapes or colors and let the prompt refine them live. Paint a quick block-in first, then apply the prompt so Krea has a composition to build from. This gives you far more control than a text prompt alone.

Absolutely. The Upscale & Enhance category is written for Krea's enhance and upscale tools, where you upload an existing image rather than generate from scratch. Keep the enhance or creativity strength low so Krea preserves your original subject instead of inventing new details. This is ideal for restoring old photos or prepping product shots for print.

AI image tools are non-deterministic, so the same prompt produces different results each run, and the model version or your strength settings also shift the output. Treat each prompt as a strong starting point: lock a seed you like, then iterate on lighting, style weight, and aspect ratio. The descriptions reflect the intended look, not a pixel-perfect guarantee.

Yes, every prompt on this page is free to copy, edit, and use in your own projects, commercial or personal. You only need a Krea account and any credits or plan Krea requires to generate. Feel free to remix them, combine categories, or chain them with your own reference images.

Prompts are the starting line. Tutorials are the finish.
