What are the best Leonardo AI alternatives?
Leonardo, owned by Canva since 2024, is built for images: its own Lucid and Phoenix models, personal model training and unlimited relaxed generation on the higher plans. If you need more video models, 3D or a reusable workflow, OTOY Studio runs 49 video models plus image-to-3D and Gaussian splats on a node canvas. Krea is the closest pick for images. OpenArt is aimed at stories and characters. Adobe Firefly suits Creative Cloud users.

Things to check before you switch
- Who owns free-plan images. On Leonardo's free plan, Leonardo holds rights to use and distribute what you create, and generations are public. Paid users keep ownership. On OTOY Studio every plan, including Free, allows commercial use and nothing is published.
- Rollover. Leonardo banks unused tokens up to 3x the monthly amount. OTOY Studio's Pro and Ultra plans roll over up to 3x too, and top-ups never expire.
- Training. Leonardo trains personal models for a consistent style. OTOY Studio does not train models. For consistent characters it uses reference-to-video models instead. See how to keep a character consistent.
Moving your work
Leonardo has no bulk download in the app as far as we could find, so download the images you want to keep one collection at a time. Then drag them onto an OTOY Studio canvas, where they work as inputs for image, video and 3D models. See how to turn an image into a video and image to 3D model.
