Leonardo AI
Leonardo AI is a generative AI platform for creating production-quality images and video, with fine-tuned models, game asset tools, upscaling and editing features for artists, designers and marketers.
Overview
What is Leonardo AI?
Leonardo AI, also written Leonardo.Ai, is a generative AI platform for creating images and video from text prompts. It was founded in 2022 in Australia, started with a focus on game assets and concept art, and is now used by artists, designers, game developers, marketers and hobbyists. The company is now part of Canva.
The platform offers a range of image models, fine-tuned and community-style options, image-to-image tools, upscaling and canvas-style editing, plus image-to-video features. You work with a credit system based on tokens: each generation, upscale or video conversion uses tokens, and the amount depends on the model and settings. A usage-based API is also available for developers who want to build Leonardo's models into their own products.
The free plan gives a limited daily token allowance and generations are public, while paid plans add larger monthly token pools, private generations, faster queues and more concurrent jobs. Plan names, token amounts and rules change often, so check Leonardo's pricing page. Review the current terms for commercial use, and always check generated images for quality and any unwanted artifacts before publishing.
