Leonardo AI

Leonardo AI is a generative AI platform for creating images, art, and video from text prompts. It gives creators fine-grained control through features such as custom model training, image-to-image generation, upscaling, in-canvas editing, and a growing set of preset styles. The platform is widely used for concept art, game assets, product visuals, and marketing imagery.

Leonardo appeals to artists, designers, game developers, and marketers who want production-ready visuals with more control than typical one-click generators offer. Its standout strengths include a large community model library, tools that keep characters and styles consistent across images, and a real-time canvas for iterating on ideas quickly.

Founded in Sydney in 2022 and acquired by Canva in 2024, Leonardo runs on a token-based subscription model. A free daily allowance lets users experiment, while paid plans add more generations, faster queues, and commercial usage rights for professional work.
