The basic version of Leonardo AI is available for free, although it comes with a daily limit of 150 tokens. For those who need more capabilities and fewer restrictions, premium plans start at $10 per month. However, the free version is sufficient for most beginners. It is recommended to try the free version before opting for the paid one. Here is your guide to creating images with Leonardo AI.
Here are 5 steps to get started with Leonardo AI:
Table of Contents
Start:
Go to the Leonardo AI App:
You can sign in with your Apple, Google, Microsoft account, or email account. Then, sign in with your newly created account.
On the app.leonardo.ai homepage, select the ‘Image Generation’ option from the left panel, click on the icon in the middle or use the ‘Image Creation’ button located in the middle
Create your first image
In the prompt field at the top you can immediately create your desired Image. Or you can also create a reminder with the available AI suggestions in 2 ways:
+ Generate a random photo: 1, Click to “New Random Prompt” then 2. click Generate
+ Create a photo with an AI description by an image that you want to get the original idea. Then you edit according to your creativity
Wait about 20 seconds for Leonardo AI to generate the images, and you will receive four stunning high-resolution images as follows:
You can select the image size in the “Image Dimensions” section, which includes sizes like 2:3, 1:1, 16:9, and more options under “More” on the left. Alternatively, you can choose the number of images in the “Number of Images” section, with a maximum of 8 images that can be generated.
Add Elements
Use the drop-down menu under “Add Elements” to select a specific element such as Coloring Book, Folk Art Illustration, Children’s Illustration, Cartoon & Anime, or Classic Style Christmas Illustration. Although you can select multiple elements, Leonardo advises that choosing more than two elements may lead to unpredictable results.
Add a negative prompt
As in the example above, I created negative prompts to ensure the resulting images were error-free, including: “more than one person, more than one head, text, letters, too many feet, too many fingers, long neck, 2 heads, duplicate, abstract, disfigured, deformed, toy, figure, framed, disfigured, bad art, deformed, poorly drawn, extra limbs, weird colors, 2 heads, elongated body, cropped image, out of frame, draft, deformed hands, twisted fingers, double image, malformed hands, multiple heads, extra limb, ugly, poorly drawn hands, missing limb, cut-off, over satured, grain, lowères, bad anatomy, poorly drawn face, mutation, mutated, floating limbs, disconnected limbs, out of focus, long body, disgusting, extra fingers, groos proportions, missing arms, mutated hands, cloned face, missing legs,”
