Sketch to product
Sketch to image, with the product details in view.
Bring a drawing, material samples and a product direction together. Specify the silhouette and design decisions that should survive the move from a sketch to a product image.
Open this workflowAI generation, saving and collaboration are available. Choose Seedream, Nano Banana or GPT Image in Generate. Krea’s official model is not connected.

What to bring
Give each reference one job.
Material, finish and color samples with labels.
A presentation or lighting reference for the concept.
A ready-to-edit starting point
Your workflow brief.
This brief opens with the reference board. Adjust it for your actual images and intended output.
Sketch-to-product brief: use the sketch for silhouette, proportions and component placement. Use material references only for finish and texture. Keep the named design details and separate concept exploration from a manufacturing specification.
Use this brief in the editor ↗Tell the drawing what to control
A sketch may define overall form, a mechanical detail or only the mood of an idea. Mark the proportions, components and edges that should remain fixed. If a drawn line is a seam rather than a shadow, make that explicit in the brief.
- Start with a legible sketch or a clean scan.
- Identify dimensions that are intentional and details still open to exploration.
- Keep alternate silhouettes in separate references rather than one ambiguous sheet.
Attach finishes without changing the design
A material reference describes surface appearance. It should not quietly change the shape of the product in the drawing. Pair a labeled finish swatch with a short note about where it applies, then distinguish accent materials from the main body.
- Name the material and where it belongs on the product.
- Separate shape references from color and lighting references.
- Keep multiple finish options organized on a comparison board.
Present a concept at the right level of certainty
Use the drawing as the product reference and assign supporting images to material or style roles. Generate a concept with Seedream 5 Pro or Nano Banana, compare it with the sketch and add the saved image to your presentation canvas. A generated concept is not a CAD model, dimensional drawing or manufacturing specification.
- Keep the source sketch next to the concept direction.
- Add notes for important seams, closures or proportions.
- Use the shared canvas to compare the generated concept with the source sketch.
Workflow questions
Sketch to product questions
Does this preview render a sketch automatically?
Yes. Add a PNG, JPG or WebP sketch and optional material references, then request a product concept in Generate. Choose Seedream 5 Pro or Nano Banana; review proportions and component placement against the original.
Which drawing files can I upload?
Upload a PNG, JPG or WebP image. Export a drawing from your design application into one of those formats before adding it.
Can I use the exported board for manufacturing?
Use it to communicate visual direction. It is not a CAD model, dimensional drawing or production specification.
