Paid plans also have a 7-day free trial. | CA free account gets 10 stock downloads a day, with attribution, for personal use. The pricing page states no free AI credits, so there's nothing on record for making images free. |
| Features | AImages, video, audio and vectors: Generative Fill, object removal in video, music, speech, translation into 20+ languages and partner models.

Magnific
- Freepik now trades as Magnific; freepik.com and its pricing page redirect to magnific.com.
- Annual plans hand over a year's credits at once with no monthly resets; on monthly billing, unused credits do not roll over.
- Unlimited covers selected models only, and Nano Banana Pro and some GPT and Flux models move to credits on Premium+ and Business at the next renewal.
