Leonardo.ai
NewFreeAI Design
High-quality AI art generation with fine-tuned models. Great for detailed, print-ready artwork.
How to use for Merch
Use the 'Illustration' or 'Graphic Design' models for Merch designs. Enable transparent background in advanced settings. Generate at 1024px+ and use the AI upscaler before exporting. Best for detailed nature, animal, fantasy, and artistic designs that have too much detail for Ideogram.
Pro Tips
- 1Use the 'Anime General' model for Japanese-style art designs — huge niche on Merch
- 2Enable 'Alchemy' rendering for higher quality outputs on the free plan
- 3Use 'Elements' to fine-tune art style: add 'flat vector illustration' for clean lines
- 4Negative prompt: 'text, watermark, blur, low quality, distorted' for cleaner results
- 5Upscale your final image using Leonardo's built-in upscaler to 4x before downloading
