Hola PH community! Omar Pera here, previous founder of an AI startup (reply.ai), and VP of Freepik Labs. We’ve been busy with something super interesting lately, and finally, it’s time to let you all try it without a waitlist. We’re officially introducing Freepik Pikaso, an AI image generator that lets you create images by sketching in real time. You can add icons, photos, move them around, draw on top of them, or play with the prompt. There are no limits, so go try it out and let us know what you think. Btw, we prepared a PH contest to create the best PH kitty ever - more details below. ⚡ Real-time AI creation Turn simple shapes, existing images, and objects into art within milliseconds. ✍️ Take control Take control over the composition and choose how much imagination the AI should add. 🖌️ For talents of all kinds Enjoy becoming an AI magician with no fuss. 🌈 It’s fun What if pigs could fly? What if you could turn yourself into a warrior? Use your webcam or stream your screen. 🎯 All that you can do: ✓ Generate images based on your sketching ✓ Control how much help you want from AI ✓ Import existing images and transform them ✓ Use a webcam and turn yourself into anything you can imagine ✓ Stream any tool or video from your screen directly Extra ❤️ for these features: ✓ Playback mode: export your creation as video! ✓ Enhance and upscale your creation (soon, Magnific.ai built-in) ✓ Import icons from Freepik library to speed up your process 🛠️ Behind the scenes Latent Consistency Models (LCMs) is the new kid in town. Enables fast inference with minimal steps on pre-trained models. As with any breakthrough, new use cases emerged from it and we are all moving fast to ship! We believe by adding Freepik’s library of millions of icons, playback mode to export video, and upscaling (soon powered by Magnific.ai) we have built something useful while fun. 🎨 Pikaso Contest Create your own version of Loopy, the Product Hunt kitty, and share it on X, using #FreepikPikaso. We’ll pick the most interesting fun one on Wednesday, and the winner gets a package of new Freepik swag merch.

This tool is mind-blowing. Sketching and real-time AI generation gives you the control back that traditional prompt-based image generation couldn't provide. Also it's just super fun to draw and see the creation come alive. Here's a selection of images, I've made recently. Please note that these are upscaled versions.

As someone whose stick figures frequently question their existence, Freepik Pikaso is nothing short of a miracle! I mean, I'll be honest – my drawing skills are so 'unique' that even my doodles need explanations. But with Pikaso, I can finally bring my wildest, most creative visions to life without the usual 'what on earth is that supposed to be?' from onlookers. It's like having a wand that turns my let's-call-them-abstract sketches into actual, recognizable art. Gamechanger? More like a life-saver for the artistically challenged like me! 🌟🖌️

I've been playing with Pikaso from the very beginning and it's just amazing. Working in real time with AI it's something really magic!

I'm using it and I love it, it's a fantastic tool for generating ideas, projecting imagination, and simply seeking inspiration through a simpler concept. Amazing tool!!

I feel like I just got a new superpower! I love just how precisely I can guide the AI. It creates exactly what I want it to create, and even better ✨

As a creative who loves design but is not good at drawing, this tool is a gamechanger; allows me to get the result I envision, even with my lack of technical knowledge!

Congratulations on the launch! Looks really amazing! I played around with Freepik Pikaso. That was great! Unfortunately, I was unable to use the icons. I tried to drag and drop on the canvas, but the icons did not appear on it. it seems like a bug, not sure. In any case, it was cool without icons! Great job!

I'm glad I was born in an era with Freepik Pikaso! It's finer than illustration and more creative than photography.

Using Pikaso makes me feel like an Artist 🤩

Congratulations on the launch, excited to see where you take this! As an early tester and user I feel that this is just the beginnings. Upwards and onwards.

testing! It is awesome!

Pikaso is super fun to use! Great way to explore your creative ideas

This means you can focus on developing your software while easily creating the necessary visual elements, enhancing both the aesthetics and user experience of your projects. Pikaso empowers you to explore design with ease, significantly enriching your development process without the need for extensive design training.

I´m addicted to Pikaso!

I knew i could draw some day 🫶 It's amazing and addictive.

Congratulations on the launch team, best of luck today 🦄♥️

wow, i use midjourney a lot but it is very difficult to get the output i expect, it looks like i can get with pikaso much more control over my ideas, if it so then this tool is exactly what i was looking for :)

I have been using Freepik for some time for my creative work. Now, with Freepik Picasso, I can quickly and efficiently generate graphic content, which I can then use as an asset for web projects. I can still do the work myself and, therefore, fine-tune the image myself. This gives me a lot of freedom and creative possibilities.

It seems like a magic tool in my art generation processes!
