Krea published a comparison of its own foundation model Krea 2 and Google's Nano Banana 2, showing how each handles the same prompts differently. Krea 2 is described as opinionated and focused on composition and mood, while Nano Banana 2 defaults to photorealistic literal interpretation. Both models are available inside Krea's Image tool, and users can switch between them on the same canvas.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://www.krea.ai/blog/krea-2-and-nano-banana-2-side-by-side:

> Krea 2 is the instrument for direction. Reach for it when you care about composition, mood, restraint, taste — when "the image should feel a certain way" matters more than literal accuracy. It also unlocks the rest of the creative-control stack inside Krea: style references for one-shot guidance, moodboards
