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.

D5 Render

D5 Render is an AI-powered real-time visualization and collaboration platform for AEC teams, helping architects, designers, and firms create high-quality renderings, animations, and immersive presentations faster. With live model syncing, intuitive workflows, rich asset libraries, and AI-driven tools, D5 makes it easier to explore design options, communicate intent, and turn ideas into compelling visual stories while improving collaboration, iteration, and decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.

Formas

Formas is an AI design workspace for architecture and 3D, built by Singapore-based FORMAS.AI. Designers sketch on a live canvas, import CAD, GLB, OBJ or STL models and turn them into photorealistic visualizations, short camera-move videos and editable 3D models. A chat interface routes requests to specialist AI models, and a dual-prompt system gives control over materials, context and style. The company was co-founded by Yiping Goh and Carlos Bañón and launched its public beta in November 2025.

Archi Automate

Connects Claude, GPT or Gemini to Revit, Archicad, Rhino, IFC, Forma and ACC; renders views with your own AI accounts.
