Moodboard Gallery expands in Krea 2 with Random and Auto modes
Krea 2 expanded its Moodboard Gallery with thousands of new references and introduced previews for Random and Auto selection modes. These updates help designers and concept artists bypass prompt engineering by starting with established visual styles.
What's new
Krea 2 expanded its Moodboard Gallery to include thousands of new curated visual references that users can browse and use as immediate generation seeds. This update focuses on reducing the time spent on manual prompt engineering by providing a library of pre-defined styles, textures, and color palettes. Along with the gallery expansion, Krea introduced previews for two new selection features: Random and Auto modes.
As of February 2025, these selection modes change how the Krea 2 engine interprets style data. The Random mode allows users to cycle through unexpected visual directions to break creative blocks, while the Auto mode attempts to intelligently match styles based on the user's initial input. These features are currently in a preview phase for Krea 2 users, aiming to streamline the transition from a blank canvas to a specific aesthetic.
How it fits your workflow
Krea 2 positions itself as a tool for rapid visual development, and the Moodboard Gallery expansion targets the early stages of a production pipeline. For art directors and concept artists, this library serves as a functional alternative to Midjourney’s style reference (--sref) system. Instead of hunting for external images to upload, users can select a moodboard directly within the Krea 2 interface to lock in a consistent look for a series of generations.
In a professional workflow, Krea 2 competes with tools like Vizcom for industrial design or Midjourney for high-fidelity concept art. The addition of Random and Auto modes addresses the common issue of "prompt fatigue," where creators struggle to describe complex lighting or material properties in text. By selecting a moodboard, the AI video and image generator inherits the technical parameters of that style, ensuring that subsequent iterations remain visually cohesive. This is particularly useful for storyboard artists who need to maintain a specific atmosphere across multiple frames without manually re-entering style descriptors.
What it costs / how to try it
The expanded Moodboard Gallery and the previews for Random and Auto modes are available to Krea 2 users through the web interface. Access to the latest Krea 2 models typically requires a subscription, though the platform often maintains a limited free tier for testing new features.
