# Freepik AI (Magnific)

The current Magnific platform, previously named Freepik, offers hosted image generation, editing, upscaling and creative tools.

Canonical profile: https://ethicalstack.ai/products/freepik-ai/

Scope: Magnific first-party AI image generation and editing for individual and team accounts; excludes independent third-party model terms and stock-content licenses.

Published overall: 3.8; 5/6 dimensions rated.

Round the equal-weight mean of available numerical ratings to one decimal; require at least four of six for an overall score. BDS status stays outside the mean; for eligible profiles, a boycott target caps the final score at 2/10 and a pressure target subtracts one point (minimum 1). Not listed and not checked do not adjust the score.

## Energy practices

Finding: 2/10

Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/products/freepik-ai/#energy

Freepik AI (Magnific) has identifiable product documentation, but no measured energy footprint or clean-electricity sourcing evidence for the assessed route.

Reason: 1 + 1 reporting + 0 electricity + 0 controls = 2/10. This grades documented practices and transparency.

Argument: The official sources describe how Freepik AI (Magnific) is delivered and used. They provide no dated, quantitative energy or water report for this product and no evidence tying its requests to clean electricity. The pages reviewed also name no energy-saving workload or compute control.

Type: argument; confidence: medium

Scope (dimension): Magnific/Freepik first-party AI image generation and editing for individual and team accounts; excludes third-party models’ independent terms and stock-content licensing.

Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded

Unknowns: Per-request electricity and water use, regional power mix and independently verified clean-electricity sourcing for Freepik AI (Magnific) remain unpublished.

## Training data

Finding: Depends on the model

Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/products/freepik-ai/#training-rights

Training-data rights vary with the model selected for Freepik AI (Magnific); check that model’s source and license.

Reason: Select the exact model and provider used by this feature to assess the training-data permissions for that release.

Argument: Freepik AI (Magnific) can use different model routes. Its product policy describes how requests are handled, while training-data provenance and permissions depend on the selected model. Review that release’s source disclosure, license and creator controls separately.

Type: argument; confidence: medium

Scope (profile): Magnific first-party AI image generation and editing for individual and team accounts; excludes independent third-party model terms and stock-content licenses.

Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded

Unknowns: The selected model name, version and provider can vary by feature or setting. Those details are needed for a model-specific training-data review.

## Your data & privacy

Finding: 7/10

Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/products/freepik-ai/#privacy

Magnific keeps prompts and outputs during the subscription and blocks them afterward; it says uploaded images and audio are not used to train its own models.

Reason: Magnific’s April 2026 AI privacy section covers uploaded prompts, images, video and audio. It says images and audio are deleted after generation, prompts and outputs remain for the contract term, and model providers may retain personal data up to 30 days. The company says it will not use inputs or outputs to train its own models.

Type: argument; confidence: medium

Scope (profile): Magnific first-party AI image generation and editing for individual and team accounts; excludes independent third-party model terms and stock-content licenses.

Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded

Unknowns: Model choice can change processing country and provider terms; account deletion and legally blocked retention periods can extend handling beyond the active subscription.

## Openness

Finding: 2/10

Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/products/freepik-ai/#openness

Magnific’s AI tools are hosted and can call third-party models under their respective terms. The public product pages do not provide its service code or underlying model weights for independent deployment.

Reason: Magnific’s AI tools are hosted and can call third-party models under their respective terms. The public product pages do not provide its service code or underlying model weights for independent deployment.

## Worker protections

Finding: 1/10

Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/products/freepik-ai/#labour

Public sources for Magnific describe the product, but do not report pay, worker voice or independent safeguards for the people who build and support it.

Reason: 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 1/10. Documented worker protections; missing disclosure is an evidence gap.

Argument: The official pages reviewed for Freepik AI (Magnific) do not report worker pay and conditions, representation or independent follow-through across employees, contractors and AI supply-chain workers. The low evidence score records what those sources leave unanswered; it is not a finding of mistreatment.

Type: argument; confidence: medium

Scope (dimension): Magnific/Freepik first-party AI image generation and editing for individual and team accounts; excludes third-party models’ independent terms and stock-content licensing.

Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded

Unknowns: Pay, contractor protections, grievance outcomes and independent checks for Magnific's wider workforce remain unreported in the cited product documentation.

## Military ties

Finding: 7/10

Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/products/freepik-ai/#military-contracts

No military relationship for Magnific was identified in the official sources reviewed for this profile.

Reason: 7 base + 0 safeguard adjustment = 7/10 (0 of 9 safeguard points; every 3 adds 1). No military relationship was established in the cited sources. This ranks above known defense ties without claiming a verified clean record.

Argument: The cited product and policy material does not describe a defense customer or military deployment by Magnific. The score reflects an unverified relationship with no published safeguards in these sources, not a confirmed absence.

Type: argument; confidence: medium

Scope (dimension): Magnific (formerly Freepik) corporate relationship; no specific deployment of Freepik AI (Magnific) inferred

Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded

Unknowns: This source review does not cover undisclosed customers, contracts, subcontractors or deployments.

## BDS targets

Finding: Not listed

Assessment: https://ethicalstack.ai/products/freepik-ai/#israel-palestine

Magnific is not named in the two official BNC campaign lists checked on 2026-10-28; this is not an endorsement.

Reason: Campaign category, excluded from numerical scoring.

Argument: The check is limited to the BNC consumer-boycott guide and No Tech campaign. Neither list names Magnific; the result says nothing about other campaigns or suppliers.

Type: argument; confidence: medium

Scope (profile): Magnific first-party AI image generation and editing for individual and team accounts; excludes independent third-party model terms and stock-content licenses.

Research reviewed: not recorded; evidence date: not recorded

Unknowns: This check does not cover every BDS campaign, local campaign, supplier, investment or subsequent list change; it is not an endorsement or clean-record conclusion.

- [BNC live Guide to BDS boycott targets](https://bdsmovement.net/Guide-to-BDS-Boycott) (campaign; checked 2026-10-28)

- [BNC No Tech campaign](https://bdsmovement.net/no-tech-oppression-apartheid-or-genocide) (campaign; checked 2026-10-28)

## Reading the evidence

- Assessments are provisional editorial judgments. Cite the profile and the underlying sources, and retain confidence, scope and unknowns.

- Unknown, not-applicable and model-dependent are different states. Missing evidence does not establish good or bad conduct.

- Company-level evidence does not establish use of a particular product or model. Account plan, model, host and route can change an assessment.

- Energy scores describe documented practices and transparency, not measured request emissions. Zero component points can mean an evidence gap.

- Published overall scores require at least four of six numerical dimensions. Preserve coverage and BDS adjustments; BDS itself is categorical.

- No named BDS target found is limited to the reviewed campaign sources and is not approval. Personalized priorities do not change the published overall score.

- Review and source-check dates describe the research, not this deployment. Fetch current primary sources when the decision requires current verification.
