Leonardo AI
Overview of Leonardo AI
Leonardo AI is an AI-creative suite for generating images, editing assets, and enhancing designs. It supports powerful tools like style transfer, prompt refinement, and canvas editing. While it offers basic video generation (via Veo 3), its primary focus is on image creation and editing.
Free Credits
Without a subscription, you get 150 free tokens per day, which reset daily. Depending on image quality, this allows around 10 to 50 images per day, making it great for casual use and experimentation.

My Thoughts on Leonardo AI
Leonardo is a really versatile tool, and one I keep using again and again. It was one of the first AI platforms I tried, and it’s still part of my workflow today. I like that you can access all the different image models, and the results are fast and solid.
One thing I especially love is the Flow State mode — being able to guide things like lighting, style, subject type, and color themes using reference images makes text to image prompting super easy. It just gives you a lot of creative freedom without overcomplicating things. For creators who want flexibility, speed, and strong visual results, Leonardo is one of the most reliable platforms I’ve used.
