About Radiant Canvas
Radiant Canvas is a native macOS application designed to run the Krea 2 Turbo model locally on Apple silicon Macs. It enables users to generate images from text prompts without requiring an internet connection or an account. The app processes prompts, generates images, and stores results entirely on the device, ensuring privacy and offline functionality. Users can adjust image sizes, seeds, and other settings, then save and reuse configurations through a local gallery. The free version supports square images at four sizes and includes basic gallery features, while PRO unlocks additional formats, faster generation, super resolution, and custom adapter support.
