rawlowmediumhigh
style_reference_imagesarrayNo[]Up to 10 reference images whose style should be transferred to the output. Their style is extracted and applied with the strength controlled by `style_reference_strength`.
style_reference_strengthnumberNo0.5How strongly to apply the style of the reference images. 0 means no influence, 1 means the style dominates. Applied to all style reference images.
moodboard_idstringNo-Optional Krea moodboard UUID. Moodboards must first be created in the Krea webapp (https://www.krea.ai/moodboards). Get the UUID from the moodboard share URL: `?share=<uuid>`.
moodboard_strengthnumberNo0.35How strongly the moodboard shapes the output.
seedintegerNo-Random seed. Set for reproducible generation.

Tips & Best Practices

1Use creativity: raw when you need the model to render exactly what you describe with no embellishment
2Combine style_reference_images with moodboard_id for tighter, more consistent art direction across a campaign
3Set seed for reproducible outputs when running A/B creative tests
42.35:1 is a strong choice for cinematic, ultra-wide compositions

Use Cases

Photorealistic product and lifestyle photography
Brand campaigns that need consistent visual direction via moodboards
Image series with consistent style using reference images
Cinematic ultra-wide (2.35:1) compositions
Reproducible generation for creative A/B testing with seed control
