Leonardo AI wraps strong image generation in a production workflow: a canvas editor, inpainting, upscaling, real-time generation, and a library of fine-tuned models aimed at specific jobs like game assets and concept art. It is built for people producing images at volume, not just one-off art.
The free tier is genuinely useful, with daily credits that let you work without paying. The peak aesthetic is a notch below Midjourney and the credit system takes a minute to understand, but for game studios, designers, and anyone who wants generation plus editing in one place, Leonardo is a strong, affordable pick.
