About Leonardo AI
Leonardo AI is a web platform for generating images and video with AI. It started in 2022 as a tool for video game asset creation and now offers a wider set of image, video, editing and upscaling tools. Users can pick from Leonardo's own image models, such as Phoenix, Lucid Origin and Lucid Realism, and from third-party models including FLUX, Google's Nano Banana, Seedream, Kling and Veo. Generations are paid for with tokens.
