| Stacks with others not stated | |
| The author gave no chaining guidance. The rules below are the | |
| general Krea 2 ones, not anything specific to this LoRA. | |
| General Krea 2 rules that apply here (see REFERENCE.txt): | |
| β’ The most important rule is not about chaining but about which | |
| checkpoint you chain onto: the official README says in bold "TRAIN on | |
| Raw and RUN on Turbo", and "We highly recommend using RAW for training | |
| LoRAs and applying them on Turbo for inference." LoRAs trained on Raw | |
| are stated to work well on Turbo. | |
| β’ Chain with LoraLoaderModelOnly nodes in series (model -> model). Krea 2 | |
| LoRAs are DiT-only, so there is no CLIP side to chain and the text- | |
| encoder branch stays untouched however many LoRAs you add. | |
| β’ Krea 2 LoRAs stack in practice and the community treats multi-LoRA as | |
| routine - style + character, style + slider, realism + character. | |
| Several CivitAI Krea 2 authors state their LoRAs stack cleanly; one | |
| writes "I recently stacked over 20 of my own LoRAs on a single | |
| generation and the output still came out great." | |
| β’ Reduce per-LoRA strength when stacking. CivitAI Krea 2 authors converge | |
| on dropping from ~1.0 to roughly 0.6-0.9 once more than one adapter is | |
| loaded. The CivitAI 12GB training guide also notes rank affects | |
| composability: "rank 8 produced a lighter style influence that was | |
| easier to stack with other LoRAs, rank 16 provided a useful balance | |
| between concept strength and composability, and rank 32 was better | |
| suited to a precise object or concept intended to take priority over | |
| other stacked LoRAs." | |
| β’ Accelerator LoRAs are position-sensitive in intent, not in node order: | |
| a Raw-to-Turbo delta adapter belongs on the Raw checkpoint, a | |
| sub-8-step LoRA belongs on Turbo (or on Raw already carrying a Raw-to- | |
| Turbo adapter). Chaining Raw -> Raw-to-Turbo adapter -> 4-step LoRA is | |
| explicitly recommended by the 4-step LoRA's author. | |
| β’ Whatever you stack, the schedule must stay Turbo's: cfg 1.0 in ComfyUI | |
| (guidance 0.0 in diffusers) and mu/shift 1.15. The 4-step LoRA's card | |
| says "Keep mu = 1.15. The training targets are anchored to that grid; a | |
| different shift moves the [sampler off them]"; the same reasoning | |
| applies to any Turbo-trained adapter in the chain. | |
| β’ Reference/edit LoRAs are designed to be stacked under ordinary subject | |
| and style LoRAs - the Identity Edit card states "Composes with your | |
| LoRAs: character/body/style LoRAs stack on top and steer the prior" and | |
| recommends a stacked subject LoRA when unusual subjects drift toward | |
| the base prior. | |
| β’ Krea 2 LoRAs cannot be chained with LoRAs for any other base model. | |
| Many CivitAI pages carry multi-model titles like "(Krea-2 + ZIT)" or | |
| "[Flux | ZIB | Krea2]" - those are separate files for separate | |
| architectures shipped under one model page, not a combined adapter. | |
| β’ To combine two full Krea 2 checkpoints rather than adapters, ComfyUI | |
| ships a dedicated ModelMergeKrea2 node (added in v0.27.0) with per- | |
| section weights for first., tmlp., txtmlp., tproj., | |
| txtfusion.projector, txtfusion.layerwise_blocks.0-1, | |
| txtfusion.refiner_blocks.0-1, blocks.0-27 and last. | |
| β’ Krea 2 Turbo is itself the official step-reduction artefact - the | |
| technical report describes a final timestep-distillation stage using | |
| TDM (Trajectory Distribution Matching), chosen for being "simple to | |
| tune, with minimal hyperparameters", producing an 8-step CFG-free | |
| checkpoint from Raw. It is a full checkpoint, not a LoRA. Three LoRA- | |
| shaped accelerators exist around it: 1. Raw-to-Turbo delta adapters. | |
| Comfy-Org/Krea-2 ships loras/krea2_turbo_lora_rank_64_bf16.safetensors | |
| - I read its header directly: 535 tensors, rank 64, ComfyUI-native | |
| diffusion_model.*.lora_down/lora_up keys, no __metadata | |
| β’ The author never states which weight family this targets. Silent | |
| degradation, never a hard error, between Raw and Turbo. The two share | |
| one architecture - ai-toolkit's config is commented "The reference | |
| 'single_mmdit_large_wide' architecture (oss_raw / oss_turbo share it)" | |
| - so every LoRA tensor shape matches on both and ComfyUI/diffuser | |

| Silent degradation, never a hard error, between Raw and Turbo. The two | |
| share one architecture - ai-toolkit's config is commented "The reference | |
| 'single_mmdit_large_wide' architecture (oss_raw / oss_turbo share it)" - so | |
| every LoRA tensor shape matches on both and ComfyUI/diffusers will load an | |
| adapter against either without complaint. The lvladikov 4-step LoRA card | |
| states this for the reverse direction: "Every layer it targets also exists | |
| in Krea 2 Raw, so it will load there without complaint - but that is a side | |
| effect of the shared architecture, not a supported mode", and reports | |
| mixed, subject-dependent results with malformed subjects (duplicated heads, | |
| fused limbs) at low step counts, needing 14+ steps with Raw's CFG on before | |
| output is coherent. The intended direction (train on Raw, run on Turbo) is | |
| officially blessed. The more common practical failure is a settings | |
| mismatch rather than a weight mismatch: running a Turbo-targeted LoRA at | |
| Raw's 52 steps + CFG 3.5, or leaving CFG enabled on Turbo, degrades output | |
| with no warning. Loading a Krea 2 LoRA against a different model family | |
| entirely (Flux, Qwen-Image, Z-Image) is also not an error - ComfyUI logs | |
| "lora key not loaded: {key}" per key and generates as if no LoRA were | |
| applied. | |

| Ahegao: The head tips back as the eyes roll upward and lose focus beneath | |
| fluttering lids, the cheeks burn deep red, and the mouth hangs open with | |
| the tongue lolling out in overwhelmed bliss. | |
| Angry: The brows slam down and inward, carving a deep vertical crease | |
| between them, while the eyes narrow into a hard stare, the nostrils flare, | |
| and the lips press tight over a clenched jaw. | |
| Annoyed: The eyelids lower halfway over a flat sidelong stare, one brow | |
| gives a small irritated twitch, and the lips press into a thin line as a | |
| short breath escapes the nose. | |
| Clenched teeth: The teeth are visible and clenched. The brows are furrowed. | |
| Blush: Heavy red blush on cheeks blooms across the cheeks and the bridge of | |
| the nose, deepening toward the ears, while the rest of the expression stays | |
| soft and the eyes drift shyly aside. | |
| Embarrassed: Heavy red blush on cheeks as the gaze drops and darts away, | |
| the inner brows tilt helplessly upward, and the mouth wobbles between a | |
| sheepish smile and a bitten lip. | |
| Bored: The eyelids sag to half-mast over an unfocused stare at nothing, the | |
| mouth hangs slack and faintly downturned, and every feature reads as | |
| drained of interest rather than sad. | |
| Closed eyes: The lids rest gently shut with the lashes lying flat, the brow | |
| smooth and untroubled, giving the whole face a look of calm or quiet | |
| concentration. | |
| Confused: One brow climbs while the other dips, the eyes wander off-center | |
| searching for an answer, the head tilts, and the lips purse into a small | |
| puzzled knot. | |
| Crazy: The eyes stretch wide around tiny pinprick pupils, dark shadows ring | |
| the sockets, and a trembling, too-wide grin bares more teeth than any sane | |
| smile should. | |
| Drunk: The eyelids droop unevenly over a hazy, wandering gaze, a lazy blush | |
| spreads across the nose and cheeks, and the mouth hangs in a loose, swaying | |
| half-smile. | |
| Expressionless: The face is perfectly neutral - level brows, calm | |
| unblinking eyes, relaxed cheeks, and a mouth drawn as a single flat line | |
| giving nothing away. | |
| Evil: The brows dip low over narrowed eyes that catch a sharp gleam, a | |
| shadow seems to fall across the upper face, and the lips curl into a thin, | |
| knowing, asymmetrical smile. | |
| Facepalm: Beneath the hand pressed to the forehead, the eyes squeeze shut, | |
| the brows knot together, and the mouth twists into a grimace of pure | |
| exasperation. | |
| Glaring: The eyes narrow to sharp slits locked dead on their target, the | |
| pupils contract to points, the brows press down flat, and the mouth sets | |
| into a hard, unforgiving line. | |
| Happy: The cheeks lift high, pushing the eyes into warm crinkled crescents, | |
| while the mouth curves into a bright, easy smile that reaches every corner | |
| of the face. | |
| Laughing: The eyes squeeze into upturned arcs, the brows float up relaxed, | |
| the cheeks round out, and the mouth opens wide showing the upper teeth as | |
| joy takes over the whole face. | |
| Naughty face: The eyes glance up through the lashes with a wicked sparkle, | |
| the head tilts playfully, and a small biting smirk tugs at one corner of | |
| the mouth. | |
| Nosebleed: The eyes go wide and stunned, a fierce blush burns across the | |
| whole face, and a thin trickle of crimson runs from one nostril toward the | |
| lip. | |
| Open mouth: The jaw simply drops, the lips form a soft relaxed oval, and a | |
| clear gap shows between the upper and lower teeth. | |
| Parted lips: The mouth is very slightly open, soft and unhurried, with | |
| relaxed eyelids lending the face a look of longing or a caught breath. | |
| Pout: The lower lip pushes forward and up over the pressed upper lip, the | |
| chin bunches, the brows knit, and the eyes cut upward in sulky protest. | |
| Raised eyebrow: A single brow arches high, opening that eye wider while the | |
| other stays level, paired with a flat skeptical mouth or the faintest | |
| smirk. | |
| Rolling eyes: The eyes are rolling back, the lids drop halfway in | |
| exasperation, and the mouth goes slack with a silent, long-suffering sigh. | |
| Sad: The inner corners of the brows draw upward into a gentle slant, the | |
| glossy eyes look down, and the corners of the mouth sink as the chin | |
| trembles faintly. | |
| Frown: The brows knit firmly together and the mouth pulls into a decisive | |
| downward curve, the eyes steady and dry - displeasure or hard concentration | |
| rather than grief. | |
| Gloom: A dark shadow seems to hang over the brow, the eyes go dull and | |
| hollow staring at nothing, and the mouth sits in a faint, defeated downturn | |
| as a heavy aura settles on the face. | |
| Tears: The eyes glass over as droplets well along the lower lids, the | |
| lashes clump wet, the rims redden, and shining trails slide down both | |
| cheeks. | |
| Scared: The brows lift and pull together, wrinkling the forehead, while the | |
| upper lids rise to show white above the shrunken pupils and the lips | |
| stretch thin and trembling. | |
| Horror: The eyes strain open to their absolute widest around pinprick | |
| pupils, the skin drains pale with a blue shadow across the brow, and the | |
| dropped jaw quivers in a soundless gasp. | |
| Scream: The mouth tears open into its widest oval with the tongue and teeth | |
| visible, the brows arch high and strained, and every muscle of the face | |
| pulls taut. | |
| Surprised: The brows shoot straight up, the eyes pop into perfect circles | |
| with small floating irises, and the lips form a sudden little "o" - | |
| startled but not yet afraid. | |
| Serious: The brows level out and press slightly down, the gaze holds steady | |
| and unblinking, and the lips seal into a firm straight line over a set jaw. | |
| Sigh: The eyes slide half-closed, the brows tilt up in tired release, the | |
| mouth is very slightly open. | |
| Sleepy: The heavy eyelids flutter and sag over an unfocused gaze. | |
| Smirk: One corner of the mouth hooks upward while the other stays put, the | |
| eyes hold a level, knowing look, and a single brow lifts just enough to | |
| signal confidence. | |
| Smug: The chin tips up and the eyes settle into half-closed, serene | |
| satisfaction, while a small closed-lip smile of quiet superiority plays on | |
| the mouth. | |
| Sulking: The cheeks puff slightly, the gaze turns pointedly away, the lower | |
| lip juts out, and the pinched brows complete a look of childish, wounded | |
| stubbornness. | |
| Thinking: The eyes drift up and to the side in search of an idea, the brows | |
| draw together in focus, and the lips press thoughtfully - often above a | |
| hand at the chin. | |
| Troll face: An impish toothy grin stretches from cheek to cheek, the brows | |
| arch in gleeful mischief, and the hooded eyes shine with an unmistakable | |
| "gotcha." | |
| Wink: One eye snaps crisply shut with a smooth lid while the other stays | |
| bright and engaged, paired with a tilted, in-on-the-joke smile. | |
| Wince: The eyes screw shut, the nose scrunches, and the teeth grit behind a | |
| pulled-back grimace as the head flinches away from sudden pain or | |
| awkwardness. | |
| Grimace: The lips stretch wide and thin to bare the teeth in a strained | |
| rectangle, the nose wrinkles, and the knotted brows finish a look of | |
| disgust or hard effort. | |
| Crazy smile: A beaming grin spreads far too wide for the face, showing | |
| every tooth, beneath enormous shimmering eyes that refuse to blink. | |
| Evil smile: The lips curve slowly into a closed, predatory arc, the | |
| narrowed eyes glint beneath a shadowed brow, and the whole face radiates | |
| hidden intent. | |
| Fingersmile (Two-handed): Both index fingers press into the corners of the | |
| mouth and push them up into a hand-made grin, dimpling the cheeks, while | |
| the wide eyes lock onto the viewer. | |
| Forced smile: The mouth curves dutifully upward but the eyes stay flat and | |
| tired, tension pinches the corners of the lips, and the strained brows | |
| betray the act. | |
| Glasgow smile: The grin stretches unnaturally far toward the ears, well | |
| past what a mouth should manage, its impossible width made more unsettling | |
| by calm, unbothered eyes. | |
| Grin: A broad, open smile flashes the upper teeth, the cheeks round out | |
| rosy and lifted, and the sparkling eyes join in without reservation. | |
| Evil grin: The wide grin bares its teeth - sharp canines catching the light | |
| - while the eyes narrow in triumph and the chin dips to throw the face into | |
| menacing shadow. | |
| Light smile: The lips stay together and lift by only a few gentle degrees | |
| at the corners, matched by soft, calm eyes - contentment at its quietest. | |
| Sad smile: The mouth manages a small upward curve while the inner brows | |
| tilt up in sorrow and the glistening eyes threaten tears - happiness and | |
| heartbreak sharing one face. | |
| Seductive smile: The heavy-lidded eyes smolder through the lashes, the chin | |
| lowers, and one corner of the soft, full lips lifts in a slow, deliberate | |
| invitation. | |
| Wide open mouth smile: The lips draw fully back and the jaw drops in joy, | |
| revealing both rows of teeth, while the eyes curve into bright crescents | |
| above lifted cheeks. | |
| Wide open mouth smile while winking: The same beaming, open-jawed smile of | |
| pure delight, with one eye snapped playfully shut and the other curved into | |
| a happy crescent. | |
| Laughing (action): Caught mid-burst - the head tosses back, the eyes shut | |
| into crescents, the brows fly up, and the mouth opens to its widest as | |
| laughter visibly shakes the face. | |
| Defiant smile with mouth wide open: A baring, open grin thrown straight at | |
| the viewer, brows set low but eyes blazing with challenge, chin lifted in | |
| fearless provocation. | |
| Sad face with mouth agape: The jaw hangs slack in heartbreak, the inner | |
| brows tilt sharply upward, and the wide glistening eyes stare as the lower | |
| lip trembles. | |
| Cat face: The mouth curls into a small closed shape like a contented cat, | |
| beneath wide, round, innocent eyes and softly puffed cheeks. | |
| Devious cat face: The little mouth has a devious smile while the eyes | |
| narrow into sly half-lidded slits and the brows angle down - a scheme | |
| clearly in progress. | |
| Frowning cat face: The cat-like "w" mouth flips upside down into a grumpy | |
| curl, the brows pinch together, and the round eyes glower in miniature | |
| outrage. | |
| Smiling with tongue out: The lips part in a playful smile as just the tip | |
| of the tongue peeks through, matched by bright, teasing eyes. | |
| Winking with tongue out: One eye squeezes shut while the tongue pokes out | |
| to the side, the grin crooked and cheeky - maximum tease, zero apology. | |
| Licking lips: The tongue drags visibly across the upper lip mid-sweep, the | |
| hungry eyes fix on their target, and a faint anticipatory smile curls | |
| beneath. | |
| Smiling with furrowed brows and closed mouth: The brows knit with worry or | |
| emotion while the closed lips hold a gentle upward curve - relief, | |
| affection, and concern all at once. | |
| :( (Grumpy): The brows angle steeply down toward the nose, the eyes go flat | |
| and stern, and the mouth sets into a short, disgruntled downturned line. | |
| Puffed cheeks: The lips seal tight while held air balloons the cheeks | |
| round, the brows pinch, and the eyes glare sideways in silent indignation. | |
| :o (Circle shaped mouth): The lips form a clean, perfect circle beneath | |
| round widened eyes and lifted brows - astonishment distilled to its | |
| simplest shape. | |
| ;o (Mouth open one eye closed): The little circle of surprise on the mouth | |
| meets one eye squeezed shut - a quirky mix of shock and playful wink. | |
| Heart eyes: The pupils bloom into glowing pink hearts, sparkles scatter | |
| around the lashes, the cheeks flush and lift, and the open smile radiates | |
| helpless adoration. | |
| Eyes tight: The lids clamp down hard enough to fan crease lines from the | |
| corners, the brows press low, and the nose scrunches as the face braces for | |
| impact. | |
| Swirly eyes: The pupils are replaced with dizzy spirals, the head wobbles, | |
| and the mouth hangs open in a dazed slack line - completely overwhelmed and | |
| down for the count. | |
| Squinty eyes: Eyes squinting almost closed, crinkling the corners, as the | |
| face peers hard at something or flinches from the light. | |
| V1.0 | |
| I have a bunch of examples but it would only let me upload a selection. | |
| trained on over 60 expressions and almost 4000 images. example images were | |
| on base Krea 2 model with mostly 1.25 strength up to 1.5 for a some (bloody | |
| nose) trained on booru tags and natural language. works well with the | |
| expression tag mixed with a good description of what you want the face to | |
| do. actual effectiveness may vary depending on the type of character and | |
| art style you're trying to use. This is just the first version. I'll take | |
| feedback and improve expressions that are either not included or not quite | |
| strong enough. please let me know what you want to see. | |

| HOW TO USE (COMFYUI) | |
| βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ | |
| 1. Update ComfyUI to at least v0.26.0 (released 2026-06-23), which added | |
| local Krea2 support. For reference-image / style-reference / edit LoRAs you | |
| need at least v0.29.0 (2026-07-29), which added regular and timestep-zero | |
| reference images for Krea 2. ModelMergeKrea2 arrived in v0.27.0 | |
| (2026-06-30). | |
| 2. Put the base stack in place (files from huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/Krea-2, | |
| which is not gated): | |
| - ComfyUI/models/diffusion_models/krea2_turbo_fp8_scaled.safetensors | |
| (documented recommended default; the repo also holds krea2_turbo_bf16, | |
| _int8_convrot, _mxfp8, _nvfp4 and krea2_raw_bf16 / _fp8_scaled / | |
| _int8_convrot) | |
| - ComfyUI/models/text_encoders/qwen3vl_4b_fp8_scaled.safetensors (bf16 | |
| also available) | |
| - ComfyUI/models/vae/qwen_image_vae.safetensors | |
| 3. Put the LoRA .safetensors in ComfyUI/models/loras/ - flat, no per-model | |
| subfolder required. | |
| 4. Build or load the graph. The official image_krea2_turbo_t2i.json | |
| template is: UNETLoader (krea2_turbo_fp8_scaled.safetensors) -> | |
| LoraLoaderModelOnly -> KSampler; CLIPLoader | |
| (qwen3vl_4b_fp8_scaled.safetensors, type "krea2") -> text encode -> | |
| KSampler positive, with ConditioningZeroOut into negative; VAELoader | |
| (qwen_image_vae.safetensors) -> VAEDecode -> SaveImage; EmptyLatentImage | |
| 1024x1024 driven by ResolutionSelector. An int8 sibling template | |
| (image_krea2_turbo_t2i_int8.json) also ships. | |
| 5. Load the LoRA with LoraLoaderModelOnly, not LoraLoader - both official | |
| templates do. Krea 2 LoRAs patch the DiT only; note that the DiT's own | |
| text_fusion / txtfusion blocks are a normal LoRA target (the official style | |
| LoRAs patch them), but the Qwen3-VL text encoder itself is not. Set | |
| strength 1.0 for Krea's official style LoRAs (the shipped template uses | |
| 0.8) and add the LoRA's trigger word to the prompt. | |
| 6. Sampler settings: steps 8, cfg 1, sampler euler, scheduler simple, | |
| denoise 1.0. Do not add a ModelSampling node for plain t2i - ComfyUI | |
| already applies shift 1.15 from Krea2.sampling_settings. | |
| 7. For style reference, use the dedicated template: UNETLoader | |
| krea2_turbo_int8_convrot.safetensors, LoraLoaderModelOnly | |
| krea2_style_reference.safetensors at 1.0, ModelSamplingFlux (1.15, 0.5), | |
| TextEncodeQwenImageEditPlus fed by LoadImage, | |
| FluxKontextMultiReferenceLatentMethod set to index_timestep_zero, and | |
| SamplerCustomAdvanced with KSamplerSelect euler + BasicScheduler simple/8 + | |
| CFGGuider cfg 1. | |
| 8. For instruction editing (Krea 2 Identity Edit), stock nodes are not | |
| enough: install the ComfyUI-Krea2Edit node pack, which ships its own | |
| workflows, and run Turbo at 8-12 steps / cfg 1 (or Raw at 20 steps / cfg 3 | |
| for removals) with LoRA strength 1.0. | |
| 9. Low-VRAM alternative: install city96's ComfyUI-GGUF and use a community | |
| GGUF build (realrebelai/KREA-2_GGUFs, quantized from Turbo; | |
| molbal/krea2-gguf, quantized from Raw) with the Unet Loader (GGUF) node in | |
| place of UNETLoader. There is no official GGUF release. LoRA loading is | |
| unchanged. | |
