Krea 3 Credits Explained: Pay Once, Create at Your Pace (2026)

On krea3.site, credit packs are one-time purchases with no expiry and no automatic renewal. Starter includes 300 credits for US$9.90; Creator includes 1,050 credits for US$29.90; Pro includes 3,600 credits for US$99.90. A reference-free 1K square generation currently uses 3 credits; 2K square uses 10. References change the quote. Confirmed failures or blocked requests return reserved credits; uncertain requests retain the reservation while the original status is checked.

Choose a pack by expected use, not by extra model features.

All three packs include Krea 3 Berry, Seedream 5 Pro, Nano Banana 2, Nano Banana Pro and GPT Image 2.5, plus Veo 3.1 Fast, Seedance 2.0 Fast and Grok Video 3 video. Image and video requests share one balance. A larger pack buys more credits at a lower unit price; it does not add separate team seats or guaranteed output quality. Video cost depends on the model, duration and resolution; review its separate quote before confirming. The figures below are examples for Krea 3 Berry text-to-image with no reference images, not an image allowance for every setting.

Credits remain available without a scheduled expiry. Generation is still subject to the service’s available settings and safety rules. Use the pricing page to choose the current pack; your account shows the balance after a confirmed payment.

The quote belongs to the exact references and output size.

A 1024 × 1024 image without references currently costs 3 credits. The reference-free 2048 × 2048 example costs 10. With reference editing, the number and processed size of the inputs also matter. A two-reference request should not be priced by multiplying the text-to-image example by two. Image-to-prompt is a separate 1-credit analysis; it does not include a generated image.

Choose the output size and finish organizing the reference board before reading the quote. If you change a cost-bearing setting, review the new quote. The server validates the submitted settings and quote before reserving credits. The reference limit guide explains why twelve project slots do not mean twelve generation inputs.

A reservation is not a second charge.

When you confirm a valid generation, the required credits are reserved so the same balance cannot fund two requests at once. A completed image consumes that reservation. A confirmed failure or blocked request returns it. If the provider’s state is uncertain, the request keeps its original identifier and reservation while the status is checked.

A completed image you dislike is different from a failed delivery. There is no promise to refund every creative preference automatically. Contact support when you believe there is a billing or delivery error.

The canvas is free; AI generation uses credits.

You can upload images, arrange layers, add text, save a project, collaborate and export PNG/JPG without buying a generation pack. That gives you a way to prepare and review a composition before paying for model output. Eligible new Google accounts receive 6 one-time credits while the daily signup allocation remains. No card is required. Gift credits do not expire, are used before purchased credits and have no cash-refund value. Each Google account can receive the signup gift only once.

Changing the canvas or downloading an existing result does not create a new paid AI request. If you want another generated variation, read its quote and confirm it as a separate task. Follow the editing workflow to keep source images, generated originals and canvas exports distinct.

A returned generation reservation is different from a payment refund.

Returning credits after a confirmed generation failure restores your site balance. A payment refund sends approved funds back through the payment provider and adjusts the purchase’s remaining credits. Those are different operations.

For unused credits, contact support@krea3.site within 14 days of purchase. Partially used packs are reviewed proportionally; duplicate charges and delivery problems are reviewed separately. Read the refund policy for the current terms. Do not send card numbers, account passwords or private project access keys with a support request.

Frequently asked questions (2026)

Do credits expire or renew monthly?

No. Current packs are one-time purchases with no scheduled credit expiry and no automatic renewal.

Does every image cost 3 credits?

No. Three credits is the current 1024 × 1024 text-to-image example without references. Larger outputs and reference images change the quote.

Are credits returned if generation fails?

Confirmed failures or blocked requests return reserved credits. Uncertain requests retain the reservation while the existing request is checked.

Are these the same as credits in a Krea account?

No. These credits are for generation on krea3.site. They do not purchase a Krea subscription or add balance to another service.
