Leonardo

Leonardo.Ai is a generative AI platform for producing images, art, and video. It covers the full asset workflow in one place: text-to-image generation, AI-driven video and animation, editing that preserves characters and composition, and a universal upscaler for preparing assets at print or high-resolution display quality.

The platform positions itself as creator-first, with tools aimed at artists, designers, animators, photographers, marketers, and developers. You can generate visuals from simple prompts or train and use custom models tailored to a specific aesthetic, which is useful when a team needs consistent style across many assets. The homepage showcases outputs from multiple models — including Seedream 4.5, Nano Banana Pro, and GPT 1.5 — spanning product photography, fashion editorial, and abstract digital art, so it supports several third-party and in-house models rather than a single engine.

For developers, Leonardo offers a Developer API, which makes it possible to embed image generation into applications or automated pipelines. The site also publishes a tutorial on how to use the platform and maintains a pricing page, though specific plan details are not shown on the homepage.

Best for

• Artists and concept artists exploring styles, characters, and concept art before refinement
• Marketers producing product photography and social visuals without a photo shoot
• Designers who need to edit generated images while keeping composition and style intact
• Teams that require consistent output across many assets via custom models
• Developers building generation features into their own products through the API
• Anyone preparing assets for print or high-resolution displays with the upscaler
