No credit card. Free credits on signup. Commercial license on paid plans.






Leonardo AI is a strong all-rounder for game art and concept work, but the moderation tightens fast on anything involving figure work, mature fashion, or specific real-world references — and per-credit costs add up on the higher tiers.
Synexa is built for that gap. Same aesthetic range, an explicit unrestricted policy, native 4K output, and AI video in the same workspace.
Native 4K image output, layered PSD exports, ICC color profiles. AI video generation in the same studio. Unrestricted on legitimate fashion, figure, anime and character work. No watermark, ever. Free credits on signup with no required subscription.
Leonardo's catalog of fine-tuned community models is genuinely deep, and the in-app canvas tools (real-time, AI Canvas) are mature. If your work is dominated by quick game-art iteration on a specific community model and you don't bump into the content wall, Leonardo is a strong fit.
