Leonardo.Ai review
A flexible AI art workspace for high-volume creators, custom models, and API workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Leonardo.Ai is a generative AI platform for creators, designers, marketers, artists, and teams. It creates images from text prompts and supports uploaded and generated image references, character and style controls, prompt-based editing, canvas inpainting and outpainting, background removal, upscaling, custom AI model training, and video generation. It is available through the web and a developer API, with commercial use included and output formats including PNG, JPEG, JPG, and WebP.
The free plan provides 150 fast tokens per day, public creations, and limited access to image generation and editing features. Essential costs $12 per month and adds 8,500 fast tokens, a 25,500 token bank, private creations, and 10 personal AI models. Premium costs $30 per month with 25,000 fast tokens, a 75,000 token bank, unlimited relaxed image generation for selected models, and 20 personal AI models. Ultimate costs $60 per month and provides 60,000 fast tokens, a 180,000 token bank, unlimited relaxed image and video generation for selected models, and 50 personal AI models.
Its strongest fit is for users who need repeated generation, reference-led workflows, editing tools, custom models, or programmatic image creation. The API extends the product beyond a browser workflow, while Canva provides a listed integration for design work. The free tier is useful for exploring the platform, but public creations and limited feature access make it less suitable for private production work. Choose Leonardo.Ai when token capacity, model customization, and workflow breadth matter; choose an alternative if you need all free creations to remain private or require unrestricted generation across every model.
