Pros and Cons of Leonardo AI

Pros

1. Standalone Platform

Unlike some other AI creative tools, Leonardo AI has a dedicated platform. You won’t need to navigate through a Discord server, allowing you to focus on your creative process.

2. User-Friendly

Leonardo AI is relatively easy to understand, even for beginners. Within a few hours, you can start generating your own unique designs.

3. Free Daily Tokens

One of the most significant advantages is the daily allocation of 150 free tokens. This generosity allows you to experiment and create without worrying about subscription costs.

Cons

1. Limited Size

The maximum size of 1024×1024 pixels for designs may not be suitable for larger products like t-shirts. Scaling up can result in a loss of quality.

2. Randomness

Leonardo AI’s results can be unpredictable. While this randomness can lead to unique creations, it can also yield undesirable or inconsistent designs.

3. Potential for Copycats

As a community-driven platform, your designs may be accessible to others. There’s a possibility of copycats using your work as inspiration.

Personal Thoughts

In my opinion, you must try this tool. Its innovative models, extensive creative features, and user-friendly interface make it an invaluable tool for artists seeking to explore new dimensions of digital art.
