Magnific is a market-leading AI image processing tool that not only significantly improves the quality and resolution of images, but also allows users to creatively control and add new details. The addition of this tool will greatly enrich Freepik's AI product line and bring unprecedented innovative experience to the design community.<\/p>\n

Magnific was founded by Javi L\u00f3pez and Emilio Nicol\u00e1s, who will continue to innovate in the field of AI and will join Freepik to work with Omar Pera, VP of Freepik Labs, to drive Freepik's development in AI solutions. Magnific will operate as an independent subsidiary of Freepik, but its technology will be tightly integrated with Freepik's existing services.<\/p>\n

Founded just five months ago in Murcia, Spain, Magnific has quickly made its mark with its "reimagined upscaling" tool, which revolutionizes the field of image processing. Magnific's technology significantly improves the quality and resolution of low-resolution images while giving users real-time control over image detail, which is important for professional applications in industries such as billboards, video games, photo editing, architecture, interior design, matte painting, and animated filmmaking.<\/p>\n

Freepik CEO and co-founder Joaqu\u00edn Cuenca Abela said of the acquisition: \u201cMagnific\u2019s AI technology will perfectly complement our suite of AI tools, while Javi and Emilio\u2019s experience and vision will drive our AI products to new heights, which is critical to Freepik\u2019s future and global expansion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Javi L\u00f3pez, co-founder of Magnific, stressed the importance of sharing values and mission with Freepik, saying: \u201cWe want to help people express the power of their ideas, and now we will work together to build that reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emilio Nicol\u00e1s added: \u201cWorking with Joaqu\u00edn and Freepik has allowed us to see the potential for mergers between projects and we are very excited about shaping the future of the industry together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cImproving user experience is our top priority, and the addition of Magnific not only strengthens our suite of AI tools, but also marks another important step for Freepik on its path to an AI-driven future,\u201d said Carlos Mar\u00edn, Chief Strategy Officer at Freepik.<\/p>\n

Omar Pera Mira, Vice President of Freepik Labs, highlighted the importance of Magnific AI\u2019s technology, saying: \u201cFreepik generates over a million AI images every day, and the addition of Magnific will enable us to stay at the forefront of generative AI and innovate faster.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
