👑 Krea2 DMerge is LIVE! Version 1.0 Debut! 👑
🚨 FIRST ATTEMPT & IT (kinda) SLAPS. Prepare to elevate your art! 🚨
My maiden effort merging into Krea2 has been rigorously stress-tested, and the results are undeniable. This checkpoint delivers 🔥 pure, high-fidelity performance right out of the gate!
🚀 WHY YOU NEED THIS CHECKPOINT 🚀
🖼️ LORA-FREE POWER: The core weights shine brilliantly on their own—no need to overload the system just to look good.
🛡️ ULTIMATE STABILITY: Got that specific scene or pose you can't get without a lora?This checkpoint has been tested across numerous external Loras without a single hiccup.
⚡ BLAZING SPEED: Optimized with INT8 CONVROT for lightning-fast generation, seamlessly integrating with ComfyUI's default loader.
Jump into the generator or ComfyUI, load the weights, and generate perfection. Drop a comment or add a post to show us what masterpiece you created! 🌟
See the visuals in the gallery! 👇
Added BF16 by request for those with more VRAM or who want that extra punch.
🙏 Huge thanks to the creators whose incredible work made this merge possible:
This merge simply wouldn't exist without the fantastic models from @GBRX and @lonecatone23 . Both are genuinely excellent creators, and their models are the foundation everything here is built on — I'd encourage everyone downloading this to go check out their original work and show them some love. Standing on the shoulders of giants. 💙

It would be helpful if you uploaded images that contained the metadata, and preferably the cui workflow embedded too (assuming you use cui).
Workflow can be found in the suggested resources. I'll release an updated version with some other features hopefully soon.
Workflow alone isn't enough. Having the metadata is extremely helpful when testing these models out.
Hey so is this considered a 'Raw' model? I mostly generate using Raw 2 Sampler + Turbo Lora, so I have been wanting to find some good Raw checkpoints!
Directly from the creators of Krea2 talking about the "Raw" version:
"This is the Krea 2 Raw checkpoint, its not recommended for inference use. Its a good base for finetuning or post-training for your own needs and domains. For example, one use-case is to train LoRAs on midtrain and directly use them on Krea 2 Turbo." Source: https://huggingface.co/krea/Krea-2-Raw
So you may want to be using a Turbo checkpoint model like this one for image gen (per their recommendation.) I think you'll find the quality is superb!
@daceheg192491 Hey thanks for the reply! Yeah Im aware of the official usage for the Raw model.
Just FYI cause it seems like a lot of people dont know. But right now within like 'the community' (reddit and large parts of CivitAI if you look through the workflows), the best way to get maximum quality out of Krea2 is to use a 2 stage pipeline using Krea 2 Raw as the model + a Turbo Lora. It lets you get better seed diversity (creativity) and better photo realism in general and it doesnt take that much longer (like 20s on my 4090 vs like 10s for Turbo).
a creator named nsfwvariant has a really good workflow on here that is really good using it, but a large amount of the workflows posted on here also use the Raw model approach for generation.
Just the point is that it seems like a lot of people still dont know about the Raw model trick! You definitely should check it out
