Overview
Leonardo AI is a versatile AI-powered creative suite focused on visual asset generation. It allows users to create high-quality images from text prompts using various fine-tuned models and styles. Beyond simple image generation, it offers features like the Realtime Canvas for interactive sketch-to-image creation, 3D texture generation suitable for game assets, image upscaling, background removal, and the ability to animate static images (Motion Images). A key differentiator is the capability for users to train their own custom AI models on specific datasets or styles, offering greater control over the output. With its diverse toolset and API access, Leonardo AI caters to artists, designers, game developers, marketers, and other creatives looking for a comprehensive platform for AI visual content creation.
