Overview
Realtime Gen is our second addition to the realtime suite of features on Leonardo.Ai. With Realtime Gen, experience blazing fast text to image generations that evolve as you type. Reiterate, rephrase and refine.
About Realtime Gen
Refinement & Personalization: Enhance the overall quality of your realtime outputs with our very own Alchemy Upscaler, which not only refines the generated image output but also automatically saves the enhanced output to your Personal Feed for easy access and further customization. Two refinement options are available right in Realtime Generation, Normal and Creative.
Style Presets: Switch between different style presets for creative variations of the same prompt.
Elements: Style up your images with the familiar Leonardo Elements, now in realtime.
Concept Sliders: Change up the age of your character, go dark with the weather, or dial back on the cartoon style and more. All in realtime.
Simple UI: Our simplest UI yet, Realtime Gen is made to be straightforward and easy to use.
Fast regeneration: Simply click on 'Random Seed' to generate an new image with your current prompt and settings.
Advanced Options: Input your own seed values or enable 'Fixed Seed' to keep it consistent.
💡 Leonardo's tip: With the combination of Leonardo.Ai's very own Alchemy Upscaler, Realtime Gen works best for photorealistic images. Other styles may work better with the regular AI Image Generation tool.

Re-roll: Simply click on Random Seed to get another image.
Settings
Elements: The weight of each individual element can be adjusted, either in negative or positive values, doing so will affect the image differently.
Random Seed: Clicking this generates an new image using the existing prompt and settings. (This changes the seed to an new value even if Fixed Seed is enabled)
Fixed Seed: Enabling this sets the seed to an defined value, allowing you to make changes to the settings and prompt without affecting the set seed value.
Style Presets: Change up the overall style of your resulting image with our style presets, or pick None if you already have an specific style in mind.
Refine Options: Saves your output image to your Personal Feed while also running Alchemy Upscaler on it based on 2 different preset options.
Creative Refine: Creates an much more smoother output at the expense of style and smaller details such as texture. Works best on features such as faces and hands.
Normal Refine: Creates an output more true to the original output, preserving as much of the style and detail as possible.
