Why Leonardo users are looking for alternatives

🏢
Canva owns it now
Leonardo AI was acquired by Canva in 2024. Its roadmap, data, and future are controlled by a $26B design giant — not its original team.
🔒
Locked into one ecosystem
Eventually Leonardo will be deeply integrated into Canva. If you don't use Canva, you'll be a second-class user.
🎬
No video, music, or voice
Leonardo excels at images — but stops there. Building a content pipeline needs more than just photos.
📱
Not mobile-first
Leonardo's interface was designed for desktop power users. Lexu is built for creators on the go.
