Magnific

What is Magnific?

Magnific is a comprehensive AI creative platform designed for designers, content creators, film and television teams, marketers, and businesses. It offers services for image generation and editing, video and audio processing, 3D functionality, design tools, lossless scaling, shared workspaces, AI agents, workflow management, plugins, APIs, as well as a vast array of copyrighted materials.

It is no longer just Magnific AI, which was originally known as a \"high-detail AI amplifier\"; it is the new name for the platform that Freepik adopted after upgrading its brand in 2026.

This change can easily cause confusion: in 2024, Freepik acquired the image enlargement tool that was originally part of Magnific AI; on April 28, 2026, Freepik renamed the entire Freepik platform Magnific.

The main entry point at present is magnific.com, which includes the original Freepik accounts, subscription options, a material library, and AI tools; the old magnific.ai service continues to operate independently for existing users, and their accounts may not be identical to those on the new Magnific platform.

Once the old package expires, the official recommendation is to switch to the new comprehensive platform.

From Freepik to Magnific

Freepik was founded in 2010 in Málaga, Spain; it started as a platform for searching for free graphic resources. Over time it evolved into a repository of images, vectors, icons, templates, as well as video and audio materials, and gradually included AI-based creation tools. After acquiring Magnific Amplifier in 2024, both brands coexisted side by side.

When the brands are unified in 2026, the original Freepik accounts, projects, favorites, download history, subscriptions, and existing licenses will be retained, while the old domain names will be redirected to the new platform.

Therefore, the latest description of “Magnific” in the catalog should be that of a complete AI creative suite, rather than continuing to refer to it merely as an “AI image enlargement tool”. However, when searching for older tutorials, one can still find classic parameters for enlargement such as Creativity, Resemblance, and HDR; these correspond mainly to the old version of magnific.ai or to the Magnific Creative Upscaler in the newer version.

Image generation and editing

• Multi-model image generation:You can use Magnific’s own models as well as various other models such as Flux, Google Nano Banana, Imagen, Seedream, Recraft, GPT Image, Krea, and Grok. Each model has its own strengths in terms of realism, text handling, illustration, brand design, and consistency of reference images, and they require different amounts of credits to use.
• Natural language image editing:Objects can be replaced, backgrounds modified, colors adjusted, and specific elements altered through textual descriptions, eliminating the need to create all masks manually. For complex edits, it is still necessary to proceed step by step and check the identity of the main elements, the text, and the details of the products.
• Image extensions and variants:Image Extender can fill in the content that is outside the canvas, Variations allows for exploring different directions based on a reference image, while Cinematic Shot converts static elements into new movie-shot compositions.
• Changing the camera position and retaking the lighting:Change Camera is used to adjust the viewing angle, focal length, and composition, while Relight is used to modify the light source and atmosphere. These tools generate new pixels; they do not restore the actual hidden perspectives or physical lighting from the original photo.
• Skin enhancement and background removal:Skin Enhancer is used to improve the texture of the skin in portraits, while Background Remover helps to separate the subject from the background quickly; for hair, transparent objects, and commercial retouching tasks, it is necessary to zoom in in order to see the edges clearly.
• Consistency of character and style:AI characters can be trained or created using reference images, and they maintain their appearance across various scenarios. Training such characters requires a significant amount of points, and portrait permission must be obtained before uploading real-person images.
• Designer and Auto Layers:It offers canvas-based design, templates, layers, and automatic layering capabilities, allowing for further editing of posters, social media content, advertisements, and layouts, rather than just downloading a flat image.

Magnific image magnifier

Magnific’s most distinctive feature remains its AI Upscaler. Unlike ordinary bicubic interpolation, which merely adds pixels, this tool uses prompts and parameters to create textures, hair, materials, architectural details, as well as lighting effects, thus offering a approach that is closer to \"redrawing for enhancement\".

It is suitable for turning low-resolution AI images, concept art, 3D renders, and illustrations into larger and more detailed final products; it can also be used to create high-resolution materials for printing, advertising, and video footage.

• Classic：It emphasizes more stable conventional scaling; it requires about 50 points to get started, and is suitable for materials for which large changes in the image are not desired.
• Magnific Creative：By utilizing Creativity, Resemblance, HDR, and prompt control, it is possible to add details while maintaining a high degree of similarity to the original image; this approach enables effective texture reconstruction and is suitable for AI art, conceptual design, and low-resolution rendering.
• Precision：Greater emphasis is placed on maintaining the structure and details accurately; the current price list uses an example of a 2K image costing around 90 points, and it is suitable for products, characters, as well as professional processes that require predictable results.
• Topaz and video zooming:Premium+ and Pro offer the zooming capabilities of Magnific and Topaz, as well as video zooming. The actual output resolution, duration of the material, and cost in points will be displayed before running the tool.

The higher the creativity, the more likely the model is to add new content; the higher the resemblance, the closer it is to the original image.

HDR is used to influence local contrast and visual impact. High creativity can alter facial features, logos, fingers, product textures, and architectural structures.

In fields such as document scanning, medicine, law, surveying, and evidence collection, the details generated by AI cannot be regarded as genuine evidence.

AI video, audio, and 3D

• Video generation:It supports video generation from text, from images, and using reference materials; various providers such as Seedance, Kling, Veo, MiniMax, Wan, PixVerse, etc., can be used. Resolution, duration, original audio, and reference controls determine the amount of energy consumed.
• Video engineering:Video Project Editor and Clip Editor allow for organizing shots, editing clips, combining scenes, controlling motion, changing styles, and adding lip-sync; Video Relight and Upscaler are used for post-production enhancement.
• Audio generation:It includes text-to-speech conversion, voice-over services, as well as the generation of music and sound effects; it also supports tasks related to audio cleanup and mixing. The licensing terms for commercial music vary depending on the package chosen, and it cannot be assumed that there are no copyright issues just because the content was generated by AI.
• 3D tools:It is possible to create 3D objects from text or images, generate 360-degree views, and combine 3D scenes and materials. Before using these assets in production, it is necessary to check their topology, UV mapping, dimensions, collision properties, and licensing status.

Spaces, Flows, and Agents

Spaces is Magnific’s shared node canvas, used to consolidate prompts, reference images, models, generation results, and editing steps. Teams can leave comments on the canvas, view different versions, share templates, and set role permissions.

Compared to traditional chat records, Spaces is better suited for maintaining project context and reusable production processes.

Flows allows multiple nodes to be combined into a runnable workflow; for example, “uploading the product image with a white background, generating three different scenarios, creating the video in the desired size, and exporting the video.” Such workflows can operate as nodes within Space, or they can be shared separately with colleagues or clients. They can be invoked through MCP in AI assistants, or inputs can be provided via APIs, tasks can be monitored, and responses can be received via Webhooks.

The cost of one Flow is equal to the sum of the integrals of all the generation steps within it.

Agents are used to create creative intelligent agents equipped with specific responsibilities, instructions, tools, and a knowledge base. The platform includes Magnific Agent, Ad Creator, and Script Writer; users can also define custom roles such as brand photographers or project managers, and allow these roles to invoke sub-agents.

The outputs generated by the agent will be retained in the editable space; however, human review is still required for facts, brand guidelines, and budget.

Plugins, MCP, and APIs

The Magnific plugin adds capabilities for creation, searching, zooming, and editing to Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve Studio, Figma, Illustrator, InDesign, Microsoft Office, ComfyUI, and Affinity.

Different hosts support different functions; all plugins are connected to the same account and consume the same balance of points.

Magnific MCP can be connected to compatible clients such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, VS Code, Gemini, etc., allowing users to generate images and videos using natural language, execute tasks in bulk, view history, and check their balance. MCP deducts points only when content is actually generated or converted; checking the balance or browsing existing works generally does not result in any point deductions.

Even if a model on a webpage is of the Unlimited type, calling it through MCP still consumes points.

The developer API allows for the search and download of over 200 million assets, as well as the creation of images and videos, image scaling and editing, icon creation, audio processing, and Flow execution. API requests are charged based on a point system.

The so-called infinite generation of web pages does not extend to APIs.

Premium and Premium+ typically allow for the creation of 1 API Key each, while Pro enables 3 API Keys; Business supports up to 5 API Keys, and Enterprise offers an even larger number.

By default, the interface has parameters such as burst rate per second, average rate, and daily service quota; in a production environment, it is necessary to consult the real-time limits provided in the console.

The old Freepik API and the new Magnific API will be available simultaneously during the transition period; the existing keys will remain valid. The old endpoints will be supported for at least 6 months, with migration alerts sent via deprecation notices. Developers should not consider those 6 months as permanent support – they should migrate as soon as possible and pay attention to the deprecation notifications.

Personal plans and prices

The following are the reference prices in US dollars shown on the current website’s page for annual billing; these amounts represent the monthly cost after deducting value-added tax and local taxes. The annual fee is charged in one lump sum, and the page indicates that annual billing saves 25%.

The monthly price is higher.

With the annual payment plan, all points for the entire year are awarded at the start of the subscription and remain valid for 1 year, without being reset on a monthly basis; whereas with the monthly payment plan, points are issued on a monthly basis.

Points from planned plans do not carry over when they expire.

The “Unlimited” option in Premium+, Pro, and Business is available only for use with specific models and websites; videos, audio, advanced editing features, certain high-end models, as well as MCP and API services still incur cost in terms of credits, and are subject to fair usage and queueing policies.

The cost per point varies greatly: standard images usually cost between 5 and 100 points, while high-end models can cost over 500 points; editing tools cost approximately 25 to 200 points.

For Classic mode, the score starts at around 50 points, while for Creative and Precision modes – which involve high-resolution tasks – the score can range from 200 to over 1,000 points; high-resolution videos may result in a score of more than 2,000 points.

Before pressing the play button, it is necessary to check the real-time price; package points cannot be simply converted into a fixed number of videos or a fixed number of minutes of video content.

Commercial use and material licensing

The Free plan is intended for personal use only and requires attribution. Premium and higher tiers include a commercial AI license as well as the option to use the content without attribution; the Pro tier adds a Merchandise License, which allows the use of Magnific content on physical products such as T-shirts, mugs, and posters, provided that the relevant licensing conditions are met.

A business license does not guarantee that all resulting outputs will be covered by copyright protection, nor does it automatically eliminate the rights of third parties regarding logos, portraits of celebrities, characters, music, and any reference materials uploaded.

The licenses obtained from Freepik prior to the name change remain valid after that change. There are two separate quotas for downloading stock media and for using AI points: downloading stock content does not consume AI points, but there are daily limits on such downloads.

Creating, editing, zooming in, as well as working with audio and video requires AI credits or the use of a specified Unlimited subscription.

Supported platforms

Magnific offers a web platform as well as iOS and Android mobile apps, which are the successors to the former Freepik application; existing users do not need to download them again. The plugins are compatible with major Adobe software, Figma, Office, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, ComfyUI, and Affinity.

APIs and MCPs are used for programmatic access or integration with AI assistants.

The old magnific.ai is still accessible, but it has its own separate accounts and subscription system from magnific.com.

Open-source status

The Magnific platform, the core generation model, Creative Upscaler, the asset library, and the hosting API are not open-source products. Freepik Company has made the integration code such as MCP Server available on its official GitHub repository, allowing developers to deploy it themselves and connect to the Magnific API.

The open-source nature of the MCP code does not mean that the model weights, paid materials, or cloud-based generation services are also open source; to run it, a valid API Key is required as well as credits.

Magnific Usage Guide

Complete a basic task.

1. Clarify the purpose of the image, its dimensions, style, and requirements regarding commercial licensing.
2. Upload the original images for which you have permission to use, or enter clear instructions;
3. Choose to go from Freepik to Magnific and first generate low-cost candidates;
4. Use images to generate and edit content, adjusting composition, subject, and details;
5. Zoom in to examine faces, hands, text, edges, logos, and artifacts;
6. Export after confirming the color, resolution, and licensing, while retaining the original image;

Create reusable professional workflows

1. Create a list of brand colors, fonts, layout elements, and elements that are prohibited.
2. Test separately Freepik to Magnific, image generation and editing, as well as the Magnific image amplifier;
3. Use the same set of representative samples to compare quality, speed, and cost;
4. Complex edges, text, and images of key products should be handed over for manual refinement.
5. Standardize naming, dimensions, and review status;
6. Batch processing and release are carried out after random inspections;

Which users are it suitable for

• Designers who need to upgrade low-resolution AI images, 3D renders, and concept art into high-resolution final products;
• Creators who wish to compare the content of various image and video models within a single account;
• Marketing and film/TV teams that create advertisements, storyboards, social media content, voiceovers, and music;
• Organizations that need to share canvases, versions, comments, brand templates, and reusable Flows;
• Graphic design, publishing, and e-commerce users who make use of both copyright material libraries and AI-generated tools simultaneously;
• Developers who integrate generation capabilities into existing production processes through APIs, MCP, or plugins.

Restrictions and Precautions

• The multi-model platform is updated frequently, with the list of models, point prices, unlimited access options, and regional restrictions changing often.
• The fact that a package is labeled as “access to all models” does not mean that all models are available free of charge, nor does it imply that they are accessible in every country.
• The costs associated with video and high-resolution scaling are particularly high; before running Flow or agents on a large scale, it is necessary to enable price alerts, set a monthly API budget, and define criteria for sample approval.
• CreativeUpscaler generates new details, which can alter faces, text, logos, clothing, product textures, and architectural structures;
• Important commercial materials should be examined side by side with the original images;
• In medical, judicial, news, and scientific images, the details generated should not be regarded as facts;
• Before uploading customer assets, internal documents, and reference images of real people, it is necessary to ensure that privacy, confidentiality, and permission regarding portraits are addressed.
• Custom Agents and MCPs are able to call tools repeatedly and consume credits; therefore, it is necessary to limit permissions, models, batch sizes, and budgets.
• External plugins and open-source MCPs require secure storage of keys; it is not allowed to include them in code repositories or client installation packages.
• Manual approval must be retained before automatic release;

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Magnific still the same AI amplifier as before?

That’s not all. Freepik will be renamed Magnific by 2026; this new platform will serve as an integrated creative suite that includes images, videos, audio, 3D content, assets, and workflow tools.

The old magnific.ai amplifier continues to operate independently for existing users.

Is Magnific free?

There is a free option that allows for up to 20 generations of basic images per day, as well as the possibility to download a limited amount of free materials; the free content is intended for personal use only and requires attribution.

Commercial projects should use paid plans.

How much is Magnific?

The current annual pricing in dollars is as follows: Premium at 14.50 dollars per month, Premium+ at 33.75 dollars per month, and Pro at 210 dollars per month; these figures do not include local taxes. The monthly pricing is higher, and separate rates apply for Business and Enterprise plans.

Can Magnific enlarge images without losing quality?

It can improve resolution and visual details, but the claim of “lossless” processing is not entirely accurate. The Creative mode creates new textures, while Precision and Classic focus more on preserving the original image; it is still necessary to check the accuracy of the details.

Does Magnific offer APIs and MCP?

Available. The API allows for the searching of materials as well as the creation, editing, and enlargement of images and videos, while MCP enables connection to various AI assistants.
