Can I use Leonardo AI images commercially?
Depends
Leonardo says yes, even on the free plan. But on the free plan Leonardo owns the output; paid plans assign it to you.
Leonardo's FAQ says free users can use images commercially too. Its terms of service say ownership of free-plan output vests in Leonardo, while paid-plan content vests in you. The pages we read don't spell out what licence free users get back, so for client work a paid plan is the clearer position.

What the licence says
Paid plans: you own it
“If you are on one of our paid Subscriptions (Paid Subscriber), as between the Parties, subject to your compliance with these Terms and to the extent permitted by law, ownership of all Intellectual Property Rights in any Content you, or your Authorised Users, create while using the Platform will vest in you upon creation.”
Free plan: Leonardo owns it
“If you are on one of our free Subscriptions (Free Subscriber), as between the Parties, ownership of all Intellectual Property Rights in any Output you, or your Authorised Users, create while using the Platform will vest in us upon creation”
Public or private
“Paid Subscribers can select whether Content is public or private.”
What this means for client work
- On a free plan you can't transfer ownership you don't have. Use a paid plan for client deliverables.
- Public content is available to all users on the platform; paid plans can mark content private.
- Logo use and trademark registration aren't addressed: unclear, check with the rights holder.
