## Reviews

### "AI artwork generation done professionally" — 5.0/5

> **Eric** | *15 March 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Leonardo AI has some really great image creation. They do lets you work on a free version to get a feel for the tool as well. The image generation is very realistic, and it takes prompts direction very well.
> 
> **Cons**: I do find the AI tool does have some hallucinations that can be tough to power through. Sometimes you need to just take your work, and start a new project.
> 
> Overall its a great trustworthy tool, and has a lot of creativeness in the artwork it produces. I have seen some amazing examples of other Leonardo AI users, and their sample works are absolutely amazing. So it gives you alot of ideas and inspiration on what is possible with the tool.

### "The best publicly available AI image generation tool" — 5.0/5

> **Diana** | *23 December 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I've tried Midjourney and Photoshop, and I find Leonardo to be the best. The free version is quite generous, and the paid version is worth the money if you need higher quality generations.
> 
> **Cons**: Regardless of how detailed a prompt to go along with an image reference is, you'll likely still need to bring Leonardo images into Photoshop to edit it. It won't be replacing Photoshop anytime soon, since you need it to edit extra arms, tails, eyeballs, or weird objects in the background out.
> 
> Excellent, especially for generating new ideas. It saves me a lot of time drafting new concepts for clients. Then once I have approval, I bring them into Photoshop for more polish.

### "Good image creation" — 5.0/5

> **Adam** | *11 December 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The quality of the images are very good. The image generation is pretty easy to prompt, and get close to what your looking for.
> 
> **Cons**: When one gets the image almost right, and it randomly starts adding random items. It is still full credits even if the promot was not followed, and any corrections cost credits as well. You can select what was wrong and write about it.  There is an option to give feedback, but get nothing in return.
> 
> It was smooth, easy to prompt, and the quality was really excellent. On the downside, you still lose full credits and must use more when random aspects are altered by it ignoring the prompt.

### "Leonardo.AI a Serious Player in Image Generation" — 5.0/5

> **Jeffrey** | *30 January 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the ability to generate multiple high quality images simultaneously, at least 8; you can choose from several models, there are many style options, prompt enhancement, plus there are many options for the aspect ratio you'd like; another huge feature is the software's ability to deliver consistent characters.  One huge aspect of this program is the ability to customize images with a feature called: "Realtime Canvas" which essentially lets you freehand sketch and enter a prompt to rapidly create character/environment concepts.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes the canvas editor does not always produce the results you want, and it takes several attempts at inpainting and prompt modification to get what you need.
> 
> My overall experience has been very positive, I feel like it has helped me to create source material for other projects, it has helped to produce different options quickly for clients, and provides many tools to customize images, and the development team seems to constantly be improving the existing features, for example they recently added different options for manipulating "seed" images.

### "Leonardo AI Rocks\!" — 5.0/5

> **Patrice** | *19 May 2025* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The versatility of the image creation and the 150 daily credits, which refresh every day with the free subscription option.
> 
> **Cons**: You have to have a subscription to use some of the newer updates, like the video creation and the motion option
> 
> Overall, if you are a new content creator, you can create and get help with prompts by using pictures that give you the characteristics that you are trying to create as well as the option to use the picture as a guide to create your own picture
