Leonardo AI prompts

Many models and styles in a single site.

Leonardo brings several image models and preset styles into one interface, with an optional negative prompt and ratio selection.

With VisualCodes you bring a complete prompt (subject, lighting, camera, colour) and let Leonardo's model and style do the rest.

Anatomy of a Leonardo prompt

Tips

  • If Leonardo's preset style clashes with your style code, keep only one.
  • Try the same prompt with two models: results change a lot.
  • You can move exclusions (“no text”) to the negative prompt.

Common mistakes

  • Turning on a preset style plus a different style code.
  • Not setting the ratio and cropping later.
  • Very short prompts with photoreal models.

FAQ

Which model should I pick?

For photos, a photoreal one; for illustration, an artistic one. The VisualCodes prompt works for both.

Why paste the prompt?

Leonardo doesn't take text via the URL, so the button copies it and opens the generator.

Should I use the negative prompt?

Optional: exclusions are already in the prompt, but they usually work better in the negative field.
