Production-grade generative image and video platform for game studios, agencies, and concept artists — Phoenix and FLUX models, Canvas editing, Image-to-Motion video, 3D texture, and a full API.
Leonardo.Ai (acquired by Canva in 2024 but still operated as an independent product) is a generative platform aimed squarely at professional creators. The model lineup includes Leonardo's own Phoenix series tuned for prompt adherence and photoreal output, Lightning XL for fast generations, and integrations with FLUX and other open models for users who want stylistic range. Around the models sits a full creative suite: a multi-layer Canvas editor with inpaint, outpaint, sketch-to-image, and reference-image control; Image-to-Motion video that turns stills into 4–10 second motion clips; 3D texture generation; an Elements / LoRA system for trained personal styles; and AI Universal Upscaler. Leonardo's distinguishing feature relative to Midjourney is that it is built for teams: shared workspaces, brand kits, finetuned model training, and a generous API for production pipelines, plus IP indemnification on commercial tiers.
