Au-delà de ce constat, SAN FRANCISCO, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Freepik becomes Magnific, solidifying its stance as the world's most comprehensive AI creative platform and introducing a new framework for how creative work is produced in the AI era.

Reste à préciser que the platform's strong hold on the creative industry was reinforced by A16z's naming Freepik (now Magnific) as the 11th top genAI web company.

Les chiffres

À noter par ailleurs : Back in 2010, a few years after selling his startup to Google, Cuenca cofounded a company called Freepik in Málaga—the sun-drenched birthplace of Pablo Picasso on Spain’s southeastern coast.

Plus précisément, the company currently has 400 employees, down from roughly 550 when it was focused on stock images. “There’s going to be some pain in any transformation,” Cuenca says, but notes the company is hiring employees with different skills now and that the intention is to ultimately get bigger than Freepik was at its peak.

Dans la foulée, Magnific’s origins remain tied to Málaga, where it was built and later acquired in 2024.

À ce stade, Magnific launches with $230 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) and adoption across more than 290 enterprise teams, including Guess, DAMM, R/GA, Alain Afflelou, and BBC, which are already running professional creative workflows on the platform.
