How to Get Better Krea 2 Results on the Free Plan

If you're using Krea 2 on the free plan and want to get the best image quality possible, try these settings. You don't need complicated workflows—just a good sampler setup, a low CFG, and a solid negative prompt can make a noticeable difference.

Recommended Settings

Sampler: ER_SDE Beta
Steps: 10
CFG Scale: 1

These settings are a great starting point for getting clean, natural-looking Krea 2 generations without unnecessarily spending more steps.

My Go-To Negative Prompt

I also recommend using this negative prompt. It works consistently across a wide range of generations:

overexposed, underexposed, blur, watermark, waxy skin, plastic texture, airbrushed, oversmoothed, cartoonish, oversaturated, perfect symmetry, deformed, bad anatomy, ugly, jpeg artifacts

The main purpose is to reduce common problems such as overly smooth skin, artificial textures, excessive saturation, unwanted artifacts, and anatomical mistakes.

Final Settings

Sampler: ER_SDE Beta
Steps: 10
CFG: 1
Negative Prompt:
overexposed, underexposed, blur, watermark, waxy skin, plastic texture, airbrushed, oversmoothed, cartoonish, oversaturated, perfect symmetry, deformed, bad anatomy, ugly, jpeg artifacts

Give these settings a try before assuming you need a paid plan or more complicated settings. Krea 2 can produce surprisingly good results even on the free plan when the generation settings are tuned properly.

Happy generating! ✦
