The Basics

Every node has three key elements: Inputs: Connection points on the left side where data flows in. These can be connected to other nodes’ outputs or filled in manually. Parameters: Settings within the node itself, like strength values, resolution options, or prompt text. Outputs: Connection points on the right side where results flow out to other nodes.

If you’ve used tools like Blender’s shader editor, Unreal Engine’s blueprints, or Zapier workflows, it’s a similar concept.

The canvas

The nodes canvas is your workspace for building workflows. You can navigate the canvas using the following controls:
  • Pan: Click and drag empty space, or hold spacebar and drag. You can change between pan and zoom mode in the left sidebar.
  • Zoom: Scroll wheel or pinch gesture
  • Select multiple: Click and drag to draw selection box, or hold Shift and click to select multiple nodes.
There are two navigation modes you can switch between in the left sidebar: Pan and Select. Clicking and dragging in the Pan mode will move the canvas, while the Select mode will select nodes.To select nodes in the Pan mode, hold the Cmd / Ctrl key and click & drag. To pan the canvas in Select mode, hold the Spacebar and click & drag.
Organization
  • Use section nodes to group related operations visually
  • Add sticky notes to document your workflow logic


Example Use case

Product Photo Shoot Pipeline

Let’s create a pipeline that automatically generates 10 photo shoots for a product from a single prompt. And then, we will take the best images and create a video.
If you experience any issues viewing the video, please switch to a different browser like Chrome or Firefox, or try using this link.
You can extend this workflow to include more steps, such as adding a watermark to the generated images, or finetune the hue, saturation, brightness, contrast, etc. of the output images or videos. These can be achieved with the variety of utility nodes available in Krea Nodes.

Utility Nodes

Utility nodes are helpful for tasks like post-processing generated content and preparing inputs for AI models. Most utility nodes are currently available for Pro plans and above. Utility nodes handle common tasks like:
  • Image processing: Color adjustments, cropping, resizing, blur, and composition.
  • Video editing: Trimming, cropping, speed adjustments, and color grading.
  • Text manipulation: Splitting, concatenating, and processing text, often used with the LLM node.
  • Math operations: Calculations and numeric range generation, which can be used to create parameters for AI models.

Example utility nodes

Invert Node: Invert all colors to create negative effects or creative inversions. Crop Node: Crop images to specific dimensions or aspect ratios for social media format adaptation. Blur Node: Apply adjustable Gaussian blur (0-100) for depth of field effects or privacy protection. Compositor Node: Layer up to 8 images with opacity, blend modes, position, and scale controls for watermarks and overlays. Background Removal: Remove backgrounds instantly with AI-powered cutouts, perfect for product photography. Text Overlay: Add text captions, watermarks, and labels with custom font, size, color, and positioning.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Connections only work between matching wire types. Check that you’re connecting:
  • Image to image (blue to blue)
  • Text to text (yellow to yellow)
  • Number to number (pink to pink)
  • Video to video (green to green)
The system prevents mismatched connections automatically. If a connection won’t work, check the wire colors, they must match.You may need to use a converter or processing node if you want to pass data between incompatible types.
Workflows auto-save as you build them. Every change to your canvas, node configuration, or connections saves automatically.
Yes! Each workflow runs independently. You can:
  • Have multiple Nodes tabs open with different workflows
  • Run workflows in parallel across tabs
  • Each workflow has its own execution queue
  • Results appear as nodes complete, regardless of other workflows
This is perfect for comparing different workflow approaches or processing multiple projects simultaneously.
Workflows use compute units based on the nodes they contain:
  • AI generation nodes (image, video, 3D): Same cost as using that tool directly in Krea
  • Enhancement nodes: Standard enhancement pricing
  • Utility nodes (math, text, color adjustments): Free: no compute units
  • Asset nodes (image, video, text input): Free
Check the pricing page for specific model costs. You’ll see cost estimates before running workflows.Utility nodes are perfect for experimentation since they process instantly without costs.
Common causes of workflow failures:
  1. Insufficient compute units: Check your account balance
  2. Invalid input: Empty text prompts, missing image connections, etc.
  3. Model timeout: Some complex generations may time out, try simpler settings
  4. Incompatible settings: Resolution not supported by model, invalid parameter values
  5. Service issue: Temporary model unavailability (let our team know in Discord)
To troubleshoot:
  • Click the failed node to view its error message
  • Check that all required inputs are connected
  • Verify parameter values are within valid ranges
  • Try running each node individually to isolate the issue
Failed nodes turn red and display error details when clicked.
Yes, but it is a premium feature only available to Pro, Max, Business and Enterprise plans. If you have one of these plans, you have multiple sharing options:Share workflow link:
  1. Click the Share button in the top-right corner
  2. Copy link to share with anyone
  3. Recipients can view, duplicate, and customize
Template visibility:
  • Private templates: Only visible to you
  • Organization templates: Available to your team
  • Public templates: Visible in community gallery (optional)

Nodes help you create professional, scalable, and repeatable workflows. Build once, run repeatedly. Chain operations that would take hours manually. Explore creative directions at scale. Start building workflows at krea.ai/nodes.
