Málaga-founded creative platform offering 250M+ stock assets (images, vectors, videos, templates) plus generative AI tools for image, video, 3D, and audio production, serving 100M+ monthly users and 900K+ subscribers. Bootstrapped from 2010 until EQT took a majority stake in 2020; as of April 2026 the company rebranded its unified product to "Magnific," with freepik.com redirecting there while keeping all accounts and data intact.
