Leonardo Phoenix (Leonardo AI) — Leonardo’s own model, strong on prompts and consistency. It is part of the wave of models that made content generation available to anyone in 2026.

Direct access can be limited or waitlisted. On Viralio you get equivalent results with Flux, GPT Image and Nano Banana Pro, in a studio in English, paying in euros — no international account or card.

Prompt examples

How to write a good prompt for Leonardo Phoenix (the full formula)

With images, the prompt controls everything: subject, style, light, composition and level of detail. A model like Leonardo Phoenix can produce anything from photorealism you cannot tell from a real photo to artistic illustration — it depends entirely on how you ask.

The formula that works: Subject → Style/medium → Light → Composition → Details → Format. Add concrete references (lens type, colour palette, mood) to tighten the result.

The ingredients of a good image

• The subject — clear and specific. "a luxury perfume bottle", not "a product".
• The style / medium — "product photography", "flat illustration", "watercolour painting", "3D render", "fashion editorial".
• The light — "studio softbox", "natural window light", "Rembrandt light", "golden backlight".
• The composition — "macro", "wide shot", "rule of thirds", "centred symmetry", "blurred background (bokeh)".
• The details — materials, textures, colours: "reflections on glass", "water droplets", "mint and cream palette".
• The format — 1:1 for product, 4:5 for the feed, 9:16 for stories, 16:9 for banners.

For text in an image (posters, logos, packaging) put the exact wording in quotation marks and say where it goes: "the text «50% OFF» at the top, large, legible". Models that are good at typography (GPT Image, Nano Banana Pro) render it correctly, accented characters included.

The full workflow: from idea to post

Here are the exact steps a creator goes through to produce post-ready content, with no team and no editing software:

1. Start from an idea and a platformDecide what you want to say and where you are posting (TikTok, Reels, Shorts, YouTube, feed). The platform dictates the format and the length.
2. Write the prompt using the formulaSubject + style + light + composition + details + format. Add concrete references.
3. Pick the right modelFlux for photorealism and brand work, GPT Image for text in images, Nano Banana Pro for speed and volume.
4. Generate 2-3 variantsDo not expect perfection first time. Change one element at a time (the light, the angle, the format) and compare. Each variant costs only a few credits.
5. Refine and exportUse upscaling if you need higher resolution, remove or replace the background for consistency, then download in the format you want.
6. Publish and measurePost at your audience's peak hour, watch what works and double down on the winning format. Repeat consistently.

Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)

What it costs and how to save credits

On Viralio you pay for what you actually use, through credits. A clip or an image costs a few credits depending on the model and settings — premium models (native audio, high resolution) cost more per generation than the fast ones.

Three habits that make your credits go several times further:

• Write a good prompt first time — every failed variant is a credit spent for nothing. Put 30 seconds into the prompt and you save generations.
• Test cheap, finish expensive — use a fast model to nail the composition, then regenerate the final version on the premium model.
• Reuse — a good clip reframes for TikTok, Reels and Shorts; a good image becomes a banner, a post and a story. Do not regenerate what you can adapt.
