Krea launches Realtime Edit live canvas
Krea has released Realtime Edit, a canvas that updates an AI-generated image with each brushstroke, webcam frame or screen share, removing the separate generate-and-wait step from image editing.
Creative-AI startup Krea announced Realtime Edit, a drawing canvas that sends each brushstroke straight to a generative model. There is no generate button or loading bar. The image updates while the user paints.
The canvas works like a standard drawing tool. A user picks a brush and colour and paints rough shapes, and the model interprets them using whatever text prompt is set. Krea's examples include a green smear rendered as a tree and a blue patch behind it rendered as sky. To make corrections, the user paints over the output. For example, covering the top of a tree with the background colour shortens it. Krea pitches the tool for early work on composition and mood as well as for targeted fixes later on.
The canvas also accepts live video. Users can stream a webcam feed and have the model restyle it frame by frame, for example as an "oil painting" or an "anime character." Screen sharing works the same way, so a window, design file or slide deck can be transformed as it streams. Krea says the webcam restyling runs "without any perceptible delay."
The post gives no latency figures, resolution, pricing or details about the underlying model, and it does not say how Realtime Edit differs technically from Krea's earlier real-time canvas tools. The company recommends using it with Krea 2 Turbo for fast iteration on still images.
