What is Leonardo AI?
Leonardo.Ai is a platform that generates high-quality images from simple prompts or custom models. It can turn still images into video with AI-powered animation and motion tools. It edits images and video while keeping characters, composition, and style, and offers upscaling to increase resolution and sharpness. You can use its own models together with external models (Nano Banana Pro, Seedream 4.5, GPT 1.5, Flux.2 Pro, etc.), and it sells individual and team subscriptions as well as a developer API.
