Create 3D Assets from 2D Images with Krea AI
Krea has rolled out a new feature letting users convert 2D images into editable 3D design assets.

It’s a game-changer for creatives in gaming, marketing, and product design, offering a shortcut to high-quality 3D visuals without the steep learning curve. However, it also highlights the growing tension between automation and creative craftsmanship. For businesses, it’s a faster path to eye-catching visuals, but standing out may require more than just AI-generated polish.
