# Leonardo AI Unlimited Images — Realtime Generation Exploit > 🗺 **One-Line Flow:** Create free account → use Realtime Generation → right-click image → open in new tab → save → credits never deduct **Why this matters:** Leonardo AI normally burns 4-8 credits per image (free tier = 150/day). This exploit uses their Realtime Generation preview feature which doesn’t track credit usage when you save via new tab. You’re getting unlimited AI image generation from a platform that charges $12-48/month for the same output. Works right now, will get patched eventually—farm images while it’s live. * * * > **What Leonardo AI Normally Costs** > > **Free tier:** > > - 150 credits/day > - ~20-30 images depending on settings > - Resets daily > > **Paid tiers:** > > - Apprentice: $12/month (8,500 credits) > - Artisan: $30/month (25,000 credits) > - Maestro: $48/month (60,000 credits) > > **Cost per image:** 4-8 credits depending on resolution/model > > **This exploit:** Unlimited images, zero credits consumed, works on free accounts * * * > **Step-by-Step Instructions (With Proof)** > > **Step 1: Create free account** > > Go to [https://app.leonardo.ai/](https://app.leonardo.ai/) and sign up (Google/email works) > > **Step 2: Check your starting credits (for proof)** > > Before you start, note your credit balance. > > ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/8/0/8063c4d33f9b041d8a4e3ec9f38f8f3a39119560.jpeg) > > **Step 3: Go to Realtime Generation** > > Click **More** → **Realtime Generation** > > ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/e/5/e53e234fe5c74194098257b8590057eb4e2e67d3.jpeg) > > **Step 4: Type your prompt** > > Enter whatever you want generated.

Realtime Generation shows full-res previews but doesn’t track them as “generated images” in their backend. You’re grabbing the preview URL directly. > > **When it dies:** As soon as Leonardo notices mass abuse or implements proper credit tracking on Realtime Generation. Could be days, could be weeks. Grab what you need now. * * * > **Limitations & Tips** > > **Limitations:** > > - Realtime Generation has fewer model options than main generator > - Quality slightly lower than paid tiers (still good enough for most uses) > - No batch generation (one at a time) > - Watermark may appear (crop it out) > > **Pro tips:** > > - Generate multiple variations by tweaking prompt slightly > - Use descriptive prompts (works better than vague ones) > - Right-click → open in new tab EVERY time (don’t get lazy and click download) > - Check credits before/after to confirm it’s working > - Farm images now, store them locally before patch > > **What to use it for:** > > - Social media content > - Mockups and concepts > - Meme generation > - Blog/article images > - Learning AI prompting > - Portfolio filler * * * **Bottom line:** Leonardo AI’s Realtime Generation doesn’t track credit usage when you save images via new tab instead of the download button. Free accounts normally get 150 credits/day (~20 images). This gets you unlimited. Exploit the lazy implementation while it lasts—generate and stockpile everything you might need. ---
