Leonardo AI
A full creative platform with custom model training for teams.
About
Leonardo AI is a visual creation platform for images, video and 3D textures, built around its own Phoenix and Lucid models plus licensed models such as FLUX. Its standout is custom model training: upload reference images and generate in your own style or with your own product. A free daily token allowance sits below token-based paid plans.
Key features
- Text-to-image generation across many models in one subscription
- Custom model training on your own art style, character or product
- Canvas editor for inpainting, outpainting and real-time editing
- Upscaler and background removal for finishing images
- Image-to-video motion features for animating stills
- 3D texture generation for game and product work
Pricing
Free plan (150 fast tokens/day); Essential $12/month; Premium $30/month; Ultimate $60/month
Prices from the official pricing page as reported in 2026; annual billing offers savings and API billing is separate.
Best for
Game artists, concept artists and brand teams who need consistent characters and custom-trained styles.
Limitations to know
AI-generated images can contain errors and artefacts, so check details before publishing. Token allowances run out fast in heavy sessions, free generations are public, and private generation requires a paid plan.
What users like

What users complain about
