AI creative suite with image, video, audio and 3D generation across 30+ frontier models, backed by a 250 million asset stock library.
Magnific brings image, video, audio and 3D generation together in one creative platform, pairing 30+ frontier AI models with a 250 million asset licensed stock library. Born in Málaga as Freepik and rebranded after its Magnific acquisition, it turned a stock marketplace into one of Europe's largest AI creative suites, entirely bootstrapped and profitable.
Instead of betting on a single model, the platform aggregates the best engines for each job (Google, OpenAI, ByteDance, Runway, Kling and its own Mystic image models among them) behind one interface, one subscription and one credit system. Creators move from prompt to edit to export without leaving the suite, with collaborative workspaces for teams.
Key benefits:
- Multi-model video generation with dozens of video engines selectable per task
- Mystic image models developed in-house for photorealistic output
- Magnific upscaler for professional-grade image enhancement and restoration
- 250M+ licensed assets combining stock photos, vectors and templates with AI output
- Collaborative workspaces so marketing and design teams share projects and credits
- Free tier with daily AI generations to start without a credit card
Magnific is headquartered in Málaga, Spain, where it was founded in 2010, and operates under EU law and the GDPR. The company has never raised outside capital: it reached 230 million dollars in annual recurring revenue while staying fully founder-owned and profitable.
Trusted by more than one million paid subscribers and enterprise clients including the BBC, Puma and Amazon Prime Video.
