Overview
What is Leonardo AI?
From prompt to usable asset
Leonardo is built for turning rough visual directions into production-ready concepts without moving between several apps. Its model library spans photorealism, illustration and stylized game art. Reference controls can steer structure and visual treatment, while Canvas Editor supports masking, inpainting and outpainting. Motion turns still generations into short clips. The workflow fits ad concepts, social graphics, product mockups and game assets.
How access is metered
The free account refreshes a limited token allowance daily and works for evaluation, though its creations are public. Paid subscriptions begin around $12 monthly, supplying a larger token pool, private generations and faster processing. Higher tiers increase those limits and offer relaxed generation after fast tokens are spent for eligible models. Usage varies with the selected model, resolution and operation. Commercial use is permitted under Leonardo’s terms, but teams should check the plan rules before producing client work.
