About Leonardo.Ai

Leonardo.Ai began as a tool for game assets and grew into a broad creative studio, and it has been part of Canva since 2024. In one web app you can generate images with Leonardo's own Phoenix and Lucid models or with partner models such as FLUX, Ideogram and Google's Nano Banana, then edit them on a canvas, upscale, remove backgrounds, train custom styles and turn stills into video. Character reference and other guidance tools help keep a subject consistent across a series. The web app uses a token system with a free daily allowance and paid tiers that add tokens, private generation and faster queues. The developer API is billed separately on a pay-as-you-go basis rather than through the web subscriptions. Mobile apps are available for iOS and Android. It suits creators who want many models and editing tools under one login.

Best for: Creators and game artists who want many models, training and editing in one app.
