What is Krita Ai Diffusion?
Interstice.cloud is an online image generation service for Krita, centered on the Krita AI Diffusion plugin. It is designed for AI-assisted painting and editing inside Krita, with a focus on precise control and efficient workflows. The service exists to make the plugin usable without requiring local GPU hardware, while still giving users access to cloud GPU generation.
The platform supports a broad set of creative workflows, including generation, upscale, live generation, animation, and image editing operations like fill, expand, remove, replace, and refine. It also includes selection and mask-based workflows, so users can target specific parts of an image rather than regenerate everything. The site emphasizes control layers and creative guidance tools such as sketch, lines, depth, reference, and style inputs.
Interstice.cloud is aimed at digital painters, illustrators, and Krita users who want generative AI as part of an art workflow rather than a standalone prompt-to-image app. It is also a good fit for users who do not have a capable GPU or who want a quicker setup. The website presents the tool as accessible enough for beginners, but still detailed enough for artists who want more control over the output.
The service is paired with an open-source plugin for Krita, and the cloud option mirrors almost all of the plugin’s features. The site also notes that users can upload their own LoRA models and use custom style presets, which makes it useful for repeatable styles and personalized workflows. Overall, it is positioned as a practical cloud backend for serious image-making inside Krita.
Krita Ai Diffusion pricing
Pricing model: Freemium
The service is free to try and includes a limited number of free tokens. After that, it uses a pay-as-you-go token system with one-time token purchases: 10 € for 5,000 tokens and 28 € for 15,000 tokens. The site says tokens do not expire, and the UI shows the exact token cost before generation. Example costs shown on the site include about 1 token for a typical Live image and 5 tokens for a 1024x1024 image.

Frequently asked questions about Krita Ai Diffusion
What is Interstice.cloud?
It is an online image generation service for the Krita AI Diffusion plugin, built for AI-assisted painting and editing inside Krita. The cloud service lets users generate images without needing to run a local GPU setup.
Do I need a GPU to use it?
No. The website explicitly says no GPU is required, because the cloud service runs on remote GPU workers. That makes it usable on systems that cannot run the local backend efficiently.
What features does the cloud service support?
The cloud GPU supports almost all major plugin features, including generation, upscale, live, animation, selection and mask workflows, fill, expand, remove, replace, refine, powerful control layers, and guidance tools like sketch, lines, depth, reference, and style.
Can I use my own LoRA models?
Yes. The site says you can upload your own LoRA models, which helps users apply custom styles or specialized character and object models within their Krita workflow.
How does pricing work?
The service is free to try with a limited number of free tokens. After that, you buy tokens as needed with one-time payments, and the cost of each job depends on resolution, strength, and workflow type.
Do tokens expire?
No. The website states that tokens do not expire, so purchased tokens remain available for future use rather than disappearing after a fixed period.
How much does an image cost?
The site gives example prices showing that a typical Live image costs about 1 token, or roughly 0.002 €, and a 1024x1024 image costs about 5 tokens, or roughly 0.01 €. The exact token estimate is shown in the UI before generation.
Is my work private?
The site says input images are not stored or used for anything other than generating the requested results, and that results are not stored either. It also says communication with the server uses encrypted SSL/TLS.
Who owns the generated images?
The website says the user owns all images generated with the service. It also states that the service does not claim any rights to the images.
What is the setup process?
The plugin is installed inside Krita, then the user opens the AI Image Generation docker and clicks Configure. From there, they can connect to the online service, which avoids local GPU installation and keeps setup relatively simple.
