Magnific (formerly Freepik)

AI image, video and audio suite plus 250M+ stock assets

Magnific (formerly Freepik) is an AI image & video generation tool for Creators and Agencies, offered as freemium ($20/mo). Based in Spain, founded in 2010. Popular alternatives include Adobe Firefly, SurgePix, Rainbrand.

About Magnific (formerly Freepik)

Magnific is the new name of Freepik, the stock asset marketplace founded in Málaga, Spain, in 2010. EQT took a majority stake in 2020, and in May 2024 the company bought Magnific AI, the upscaling startup whose name it adopted for the whole platform on April 28, 2026. It reports more than one million paying subscribers. It now offers two things: a library of 250M+ photos, vectors, PSDs, icons, videos and templates, and an AI studio that puts many third-party and in-house models behind one subscription.

The AI suite covers image generation (Google's Nano Banana and the in-house Magnific One), video generation with Kling, Seedance, Veo and others, the Magnific image and video upscalers, music, voice and sound effects, and Spaces, a shared canvas for workflows. All paid plans use annual credit pools that do not reset monthly, include a commercial AI license and promise no model training on your data. Premium starts at $20 a month, Premium+ adds unlimited generations on selected models and music rights, and Pro Starter sells larger credit pools for production teams.

It suits designers, marketers and agencies who want stock assets and many AI models in one bill. Krea and Leonardo AI offer similar multi-model studios but no stock library, and Midjourney gives a more distinctive look but fewer tools. Credit math is complex and video burns credits fast.

Buying tip: freepik.com and the old magnific.ai upscaler address both redirect to magnific.com now, and existing accounts carried over. Compare per-model credit costs before choosing between Premium+ and Pro Starter.
