Leonardo AI
by Leonardo AI
FreemiumAI-powered creative platform for generating production-quality visual assets including images, textures, and game art with fine-tuned models.
Overview
Leonardo AI is an Australian-based creative platform (acquired by Canva in 2024) offering AI image generation, video creation, and editing tools. It features a mix of proprietary models (Phoenix 1.0 for high-fidelity results, Kino XL for cinematic styles) and third-party models (Veo 3, Sora 2, Kling, Seedance).
A standout feature is 3D texture generation — creating albedo, normal, and roughness maps from text prompts, invaluable for game developers using Unity or Unreal Engine. The platform includes a token-based system with rollover banking so unused credits carry forward.
