How quickly can I generate assets using Leonardo AI?

Leonardo AI is engineered for rapid asset creation. However, the time taken can fluctuate based on several aspects, such as:

Is Leonardo AI the best drawing app for Windows?

That's our aspiration. Leonardo AI is probably the best drawing app for the Microsoft Surface and all other PC-tablets and we hope that within two years we can be the best Windows drawing app, period.

What are Leonardo AI's biggest strengths?

The speed, the user interface, the line tools and the infinite canvas.

What are Leonardo AI's most requested features?

Custom brushes, custom shortcuts, distort tool and layer folders. We are currently working on a big rewrite of the underlaying technology that will make these and much more possible.

What is the difference between the desktop version (from this website) and the Windows Store version?

None. It's the exact same version of Leonardo AI.

Is Leonardo AI a good alternative to Photoshop?

Both yes and no. Drawing on a Windows tablet is definitely nicer with Leonardo AI than Photoshop. Leonardo AI is also much faster and easier to learn. However, Photoshop is a beast when it comes to features. A lot of our users start their illustrations in Leonardo AI and then do the final touches in Photoshop. Leonardo AI can export to the Photoshop file format (PSD) which makes the transition easy.

Is Leonardo AI a good alternative to Sketchable?

Yes. Sketchable is also built for Windows tablets like Leonardo AI. But Leonardo AI is much faster, more stable, easier to learn and have more features then Sketchable.

Is Leonardo AI a good alternative to Sketchbook Pro?

Yes. Sketchbook was never designed for touch interfaces.

Is Leonardo AI a good alternative to Paint Tool SAI?

Yes, but we genuinely admire SAI for its drawing capabilities! Its user interface might feel a bit outdated and might be slightly challenging for newcomers. Additionally, it seems there hasn't been recent development on it.

Is Leonardo AI a good alternative to Mischief?

Yes, Mischief is among the handful of drawing apps that feature an infinite canvas, similar to Leonardo AI. However, the underlying mechanics of Leonardo AI and Mischief are distinct: Leonardo AI uses a raster-based system, while Mischief is vector-based. In our view, raster technology is better suited for drawing/painting apps since crucial tools, such as Smudge and Lasso, are tailored for raster applications. Additionally, it appears that Mischief's development has been halted.

Is Leonardo AI the Windows equivalent of ProCreate?

If you're asking whether Leonardo AI is the premier drawing app for Windows tablets, akin to ProCreate's status on iPad, then the answer is likely yes! However, it's worth noting that Leonardo AI and ProCreate have distinct features. Unique elements like Leonardo AI's infinite canvas and line tools set it apart from other apps.

Does Leonardo AI work on my computer?

Leonardo AI is compatible with most Windows systems. However, for the optimal drawing experience, we highly recommend using a pen. To ensure compatibility with your device, please download the trial version of Leonardo AI from our download page.

Does Leonardo AI work with Microsoft Surface tablets?

How often will I receive updates for Leonardo AI?

We typically release a significant update every six months. In between, we might roll out minor updates to address bugs. We don't update Leonardo AI more frequently because extensive testing is required for each major release, which takes time.

Does Leonardo AI handle Photoshop (PSD) files?

Leonardo AI has the capability to export PSD files, but it cannot import or directly save in that format.

Does Leonardo AI have screen recording?

No. We recommend using an external software like Camtasia for that purpose.

How do I save to JPEG or PNG?

Please go to File > Export.

When I zoom-in my canvas gets pixelated!

Leonardo AI operates on a raster-based system, meaning if you zoom in beyond 100%, pixels will become visible. By "infinite canvas", we refer to the ability to scroll endlessly in any direction, not limitless zooming. For a higher resolution, initiate your drawing at a zoom level of 50% or 25% and use it as your starting point

I can't zoom out more than 50%!

Navigate to the zoom panel by clicking on the magnifying glass icon. From there, select 'Options'. Within 'Options', you'll be able to define the maximum and minimum zoom levels.

How do I give Leonardo AI as a gift?

Go to the Leonardo AI page on the Windows Store and find the three dots near the 'Buy' button. Click on them, and you'll have an option to purchase it as a gift.

Can I pay for Leonardo AI with PayPal?

Yes. Underneath the 'Buy' button on the purchase page, there's a link for that option. Additionally, if you'd like the Windows Store version of Leonardo AI, they also accept PayPal.

Do I need an account to try Leonardo AI?

Yes, you'll need a Leonardo AI account created within the app post-installation or a Microsoft account for the Store version.
