Krea

Krea is a browser-based generative AI suite for images, video and 3D. Architects and designers use it to turn sketches and massing screenshots into rendered concepts in real time, explore material and lighting styles, upscale and enhance images for presentations, and animate stills into short videos. It brings its own models together with third-party ones such as Flux, Veo and Kling in one interface, and lets teams train custom styles on their own images.

Krea Overview

Krea is a creative AI platform founded in 2022 in San Francisco by Victor Perez (CEO) and Diego Rodriguez (CTO). It gives designers one browser workspace for generating, editing and enhancing images, video and 3D, combining its own image models with leading third-party models. For architects and interior designers, its best-known feature is real-time generation: a sketch, simple massing model or screen capture updates into a rendered image almost instantly as you draw or move the view.

Key features

  • Real-time canvas – Sketch or share a screen, such as a 3D modeling viewport, and see a rendered version update live
  • Image generation – Text-to-image with a large library of styles and high-resolution output
  • Enhancer and upscaler – Upscales and sharpens images and video for boards, presentations and print
  • Generative editing – Changes materials, lighting, context or objects in an existing image
  • Video generation – Text-to-video and image-to-video, including access to models such as Veo, Kling, Hailuo, Runway and Luma
  • 3D and scenes – Generates 3D objects from text or images and builds editable 3D scenes
  • Custom training – Trains LoRA styles on a studio's own images to keep outputs consistent with its design language

How architects use it

Common workflows include turning early massing studies from Rhino, SketchUp or Revit into atmospheric concept images, testing facade and interior material options, upscaling renders before client meetings, and producing short animated clips for competitions and social media.

Who it's for

Krea suits architects, interior designers, visualization artists and marketing teams at AEC firms who need fast concept imagery rather than technically precise renders. It offers a free tier with daily limits and paid plans for individuals, teams and enterprises.

Gendo

Gendo is an AI rendering platform for architects and interior designers that turns sketches, massing models and 3D exports into photorealistic images and video. Teams work on a shared design canvas where they can swap materials with text prompts, apply style transfer while keeping the design intact, upscale outputs and compare iterations. Founded in London in 2022 by architectural designer George Proud and engineer Will Jones, Gendo is used by practices including Zaha Hadid Architects and KPF.

Fenestra

Fenestra is an AI-powered spatial rendering tool for architects and interior designers. Transform sketches into polished renderings, or reimagine your 3D models as hand-drawn illustrations in your unique style.

AIRI lab

AIRI lab is a browser-based AI design platform for architects, interior designers, landscape architects and urban planners. It turns sketches, briefs and reference images into rendered concept visuals, generates variations of materials, lighting and facade options, and converts still images into video and presentations. A conversational design assistant helps extract concepts and styles from a brief. The company was founded in Shenzhen by architects and AI engineers and offers enterprise plans with custom-trained models and on-premises deployment.
