References
The reference images that drive the style: adding them, analysis, the shared library.
A reference is an image whose style the AI matches: palette, typography, layout. It does not appear in the final visual, it steers it.
Two libraries
| Source | Content |
|---|---|
| Community | The Kreafy library and the references other users have made public. |
| My library | Your own additions, private by default. |
The picker at the top of the References page switches between the two. A second filter separates flyer and thumbnail references.
Adding a reference
The Add a reference button opens a menu with two entries:
- Add a flyer
- Add a thumbnail
The type is therefore chosen before the upload window opens, not inside it. Then, two ways to supply the visual:
- Paste a link: a direct image, or a YouTube video, in which case Kreafy retrieves its thumbnail, title and category. A YouTube link is always saved as a thumbnail, whichever menu entry you picked.
- Upload files: up to 3 images at a time, 5 MB per file.
The analysis
Every reference you add goes through an automatic analysis that extracts its title, sector, format, language, dominant colours, typefaces and keywords.
Cost: 0.4 credit per reference. The analysis runs in the background; the thumbnail shows its status and updates on its own.
The title and category retrieved from YouTube are never overwritten by the analysis: what the source says about itself wins.
Limits per plan
| Plan | References |
|---|---|
| Free | 5 |
| Starter | 20 |
| Pro | Unlimited |
| Lifetime | Unlimited |
The limit counts your personal references. The community library stays browsable without limit.
Using a reference
Three routes:
- from the studio, the Style reference tool;
- from a reference's detail page, the Use this reference button;
- from the Start from a template section at the bottom of the creation page.
Changing the type, publishing, deleting
On a reference in your library, the thumbnail menu lets you reclassify it as a flyer or a thumbnail if the analysis got it wrong.
The Select mode on the References page allows bulk deletion.
Deleting a reference does not delete the visuals generated from it, but the visual's detail page will no longer show the source image.
