Introduction
FLUX.1 Krea Dev LoRA Text to image draws one image from a written prompt on FLUX.1 Krea [dev], the open-weights version of Krea 1 that Black Forest Labs released with Krea, with up to three of your own LoRA files loaded. Krea [dev] is a 12-billion-parameter model tuned for photography that avoids the glossy, oversaturated "AI look", and it shares the FLUX.1 [dev] architecture, so LoRAs built for FLUX.1 [dev] load on it.

Key features
A photographic look by default
With no LoRA loaded, our test prompts came back with muted colour, real-looking skin, warm practical light and visible film grain. Ask for "film photograph" or "35mm film still" and that is what you get, without stacking style words.
FLUX.1 [dev] LoRAs load here
Up to three LoRAs per request, each with a scale from 0 to 4.
Style LoRAs need a higher scale
Krea's own look is strong. A cartoon LoRA that works at 1.2 on FLUX.1 [dev] still came back photographic here.
Request parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
aspect_ratio | No | The shape of the frame: wide, square or tall. 1:1 · 16:9 · 9:16 · 4:3 · 3:4 · 3:2 · 2:3 · 21:9 · 9:21 · Default: 1:1 |
guidance_scale | No | How strictly the model follows the prompt. ≥ 0 · ≤ 20 · Default: 3.5 |
loras | No | Load your own LoRA files to lock in a style or character. Default: [] |
output_format | No | File type of the result. jpeg · png · webp · Default: jpeg |
prompt | Yes | Describe the subject, composition and lighting. If a LoRA has a trigger word, put it first. |
seed | No | Reuse the same number to get a repeatable result. ≥ 0 · ≤ 2147483647 |
Pricing
Prices are in credits, the same credits you use on the website (1 credit = $0.01). The hold is taken when the task is accepted and settled to the actual charge when it finishes; failed tasks are refunded.
| Option | Credits per image | ≈ USD |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | 3.6 | $0.036 |
Each task is rounded up to whole credits, so one run at the lowest tier costs 4 credits per image ($0.04).
For an exact number before you run, send the same body to POST /jobs/quote.
Use cases
Editorial and fashion stills
Night-time interiors, warm lamps, film grain and believable skin straight from a sentence prompt, in nine shapes from 21:9 to 9:21.
A house style for a set
Load one style LoRA at 1.5 to 2, keep its trigger phrase at the front and run a list of prompts. Every image in the set shares the look.
Your FLUX LoRAs on a more photographic base
If you already use FLUX.1 [dev] LoRAs, run them here to get the same subject or style with a quieter, more photographic finish.
Prompt guide & pro tips
Write it like a shot list
Subject, clothing, place, light source and lens, in sentences. Naming the light ("a brass desk lamp", "a string of warm bulbs") does more than adjectives such as "moody".
Start style LoRAs high
Begin at scale 1.5 for a style LoRA and compare with scale 0 on the same seed. If the two images match, the file did not apply; if the style is faint, go to 2.
Leave guidance near 3.5
Guidance runs from 0 to 20. In our tests 0 came back washed out and grainy, 1 softer, 7 harder and more contrasty, and 20 overcooked the shadows and changed the outfit.
Expect labels and logos
Like other FLUX models it sometimes prints small fake lettering on props such as headphones, sleeves and signs. Describe props as plain or unmarked, and try another seed if a logo appears.
API quick start
Call the FLUX.1 Krea Dev LoRA API in three steps
- Create an API key. Sign in to PopNow and create a key in the API console. Keys start with sk-popnow- and use the same credits as the website.
- Send the request. POST /jobs/createTask with model black-forest-labs/flux-1-krea-dev-lora/text-to-image and an input object that follows the parameter table. The response returns a task ID straight away.
- Get the result. Poll GET /jobs/recordInfo with the task ID, or pass a callBackUrl and we post the result to it. Download the output links when the task succeeds.
# 1. Create the task. Keep the Idempotency-Key if you retry after a network error.
export IDEMPOTENCY_KEY="$(uuidgen)"
curl -X POST https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/createTask \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Idempotency-Key: $IDEMPOTENCY_KEY" \
-d '{
"model": "black-forest-labs/flux-1-krea-dev-lora/text-to-image",
"input": {
"prompt": "A ceramic teapot on a linen cloth, soft window light, muted palette",
"aspect_ratio": "1:1",
"output_format": "jpeg"
}
}'
# 2. Copy data.taskId from the response, then poll until state is succeeded, failed, canceled or expired.
TASK_ID="TASK_ID_FROM_RESPONSE"
curl "https://api.popnow.ai/api/v1/jobs/recordInfo?taskId=$TASK_ID" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $POPNOW_API_KEY"Replace the prompt and any links with your own. The API tab has the response, polling and callback reference.
FLUX.1 Krea Dev LoRA API questions
How much does the FLUX.1 Krea Dev LoRA API cost?
FLUX.1 Krea Dev LoRA starts at 4 credits ($0.04) per image with Create Image, its cheapest task. Credits are the same as on the website (1 credit = $0.01), new accounts get 30 free credits, and failed tasks are refunded.
What is the model name for FLUX.1 Krea Dev LoRA in the API?
Put black-forest-labs/flux-1-krea-dev-lora/text-to-image for Create Image; black-forest-labs/flux-1-krea-dev-lora/edit for Edit Image in the model field of POST /jobs/createTask.
How is Krea [dev] different from FLUX.1 [dev]?
Same architecture and size, different training goal. Black Forest Labs and Krea tuned it for photography that avoids oversaturated textures, so it reads more like a film photograph by default. FLUX.1 [dev] LoRAs load on it, but style LoRAs need a higher scale to show through.
Which LoRAs work here?
LoRAs trained for FLUX.1 [dev] or FLUX.1 Krea [dev], passed as a direct link to the .safetensors file. In our tests an SDXL LoRA, and one realism LoRA saved in a different key format, ran without an error and changed nothing.
Can I use the images commercially?
Black Forest Labs' model card says outputs of FLUX.1 Krea [dev] can be used for personal, scientific and commercial purposes under its license. Check the license of each LoRA you load as well.
What are the limits of the FLUX.1 Krea Dev LoRA API?
Aspect ratios: 1:1 · 16:9 · 9:16 · 4:3 · 3:4 · 3:2 +3; Prompt length (characters): 5,000. Requests outside these limits are rejected before anything is charged.
Can I try FLUX.1 Krea Dev LoRA without writing code?
Yes. The Playground runs FLUX.1 Krea Dev LoRA on your PopNow credits, needs no API key, and shows the matching code for every run.

FLUX.1 Dev LoRA applies style LoRAs at full strength without Krea's photographic bias.
