Leonardo.Ai
Image, video and 3D generator with its own and partner models
Leonardo.Ai report card
Very good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 17, 2026
Best for images, video and 3D in one app
Leonardo.Ai puts images, short video and 3D models in one app, with its own models alongside Veo, Kling and FLUX. The free plan's 150 tokens a day is one of the kinder ones here, and Essential is $12 a month. Its prices come from a third-party summary, though, and the unlimited queue only covers some of its own models.
Who Leonardo.Ai is for
- Great if you want images, short video and 3D models under one account
- Handy when you finish designs in Canva and want images sent straight there
- Good for trying lots of partner models without paying for each one
Who Leonardo.Ai is not for
- Not for you if you want everything unlimited, as the slow queue covers selected Leonardo models only
- Tight if you might cancel, since banked rollover tokens are lost when you do
- Pricey if you buy on iPhone, where the plans run $15.99 to $79.99
Why Leonardo.Ai gets a 3.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyEssential is $12 a month, billed monthly, for 8,500 tokens, private images and a rollover bank of up to 25,500. That's the middle of this category. The figure is from a third-party summary, as Leonardo's page turned our reader away, and the iPhone app sells plans from $15.99.
- BFree plan and trial150 tokens every day that reset rather than pile up, which adds up to over half of what Essential gives in a month. Free images are public but can still be used commercially. You get fewer video models, though.
- BFeaturesIts own Lucid and Phoenix models next to FLUX, GPT Image, Veo and Kling, video with start and end frames, 3D models from an image, an editor with inpainting and a live sketch canvas, and send-to-Canva. The whole job, images to video to 3D.
- AEase of use4.83 from about 11,100 App Store ratings, among the highest here. Each model shows its token cost before you generate, so the meter isn't a mystery.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone and Android, with an API and one-click hand-off to Canva. No desktop app, which an A needs.
What these grades rest on. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Leonardo.Ai's help pages and, for prices, a third-party summary on 17 October 2026, and its App Store rating. Leonardo's pricing page turned our reader away again. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. How we review and grade.

Keep Leonardo.Ai, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Leonardo.Ai you would be making an image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 19 of the 21 other AI image and video generators we grade. It costs $144 a year.
What you could not
- An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Canva among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Leonardo.Ai’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Leonardo.Ai?
Leonardo.Ai is a web and mobile app for making images, short videos and 3D models from prompts or reference images, using its own Lucid and Phoenix models alongside partner models such as Veo and Kling. Everything costs tokens, which renew daily on the free plan and monthly on paid plans, where unused tokens roll over. Images can be sent straight to Canva for further editing.
Leonardo.Ai has a free plan. Paid plans start at $12 per month for 8,500 tokens, billed monthly. See every plan
Good for
- Creators who want image, video and 3D tools under one account
- Trying many partner models without separate subscriptions
- Canva users who want to finish generated images in Canva
Worth knowing
- Web prices come from a third-party summary of June 5, 2026, as Leonardo's pricing page turned away our reader. The iOS app sells the plans for $15.99 to $79.99.
- Unlimited generation starts only after tokens run out, in a slower queue, and covers selected Leonardo models only; other partner models always cost tokens.
- Top-up tokens need an active individual plan and are not sold on Teams plans; rollover tokens are lost if you cancel.
- Private generation needs a paid plan; free-plan images are visible to all Leonardo users.
Key features
- Own and partner models
- Leonardo's Lucid and Phoenix image models sit beside partner models such as FLUX, GPT Image, Veo and Kling, each with its own token cost shown before you generate.
- Video with start and end frames
- Make clips from text or images, set start and end frames on supported models, and use models that add sound effects and dialogue.
- 3D generation
- Turns an image and up to five reference views into a downloadable 3D model, with choices of mesh type, quality and material.
- Editor, canvas and upscaling
- Change an image by describing the edit, inpaint or extend it on a canvas, turn sketches into images live in Realtime Canvas, and enlarge results with the Pro Upscaler.
- Edit in Canva
