What each tool does
Magnific AI, formerly Freepik, is a paid creative platform combining many AI models for image, video and audio. It generates images and cinematic-style videos, produces product shots, drafts storyboards and upscales images to 4K. Workflows, character casting and brand consistency features help teams working on campaigns at volume.
Clipdrop is a toolkit of focused AI image tools. You can cut out subjects, replace backgrounds, remove objects or text, uncrop images to new formats, relight scenes and upscale by 2x or 4x. It also offers text-to-image generation, a social media resizer and an API for businesses, all in a freemium, browser-based package.
Key differences
- Approach: Magnific is a full production platform; Clipdrop is a set of single-purpose utilities.
- Media: Magnific handles image, video and audio; Clipdrop is image-only.
- Audience: Magnific suits agencies and professional creators; Clipdrop suits creators, marketers and sellers needing fast edits.
- Pricing: Magnific is paid; Clipdrop is freemium. Check the pricing pages for current plans.
- Ease of use: Clipdrop tools each do one job and are quick to learn; Magnific offers more control for bigger projects.
Which should you choose?
Choose Magnific AI if you produce campaigns, storyboards or video content and need a consistent look across many assets. It is paid, so plan to pay by card in USD.
Choose Clipdrop if you mostly need to clean up photos, swap backgrounds, upscale or resize images for different platforms. It works in the browser and you can start free, which suits freelancers and small sellers in Pakistan.
Can you use both?
They fit together well for creative teams. Magnific can generate the main visuals, while Clipdrop handles quick fixes such as removing stray objects or resizing assets for each social network.
