Image to Image
Upload a reference picture, pick a model, and generate new character options from it. Unlike Ref to Image, nothing is described first: Krea 2 takes the picture as a style reference and Ideogram draws from it directly.
Made your character? Take it further — auto rotate, object swap, change its art style, or drop it into a scene.
Image to Image — FAQ
How is this different from Ref to Image?
Ref to Image asks Gemma to describe your picture, lets you edit that description, and draws from the words. Image to Image hands the picture to the model. Use Ref to Image for a clean redesign that keeps the idea but not the pixels; use Image to Image when the reference's look should carry across.
Which model should I pick?
Krea 2 when you want the reference's style and composition to carry into the result, with a creativity control for how far it may drift. Ideogram when the character needs graphic shapes or legible text.
Can I add more than one reference?
Krea 2 accepts several style references at once. Ideogram takes one.
