Freepik alternative: now that Freepik is Magnific, here is the studio built for whole projects
Pick Pixel Dojo when you want an AI director that plans and prices a project, a film studio that edits the cut, and LoRA training for your own style.
Freepik now trades as Magnific, and its pricing page says so in the title. The models overlap a lot, so we compared what happens around them. We also ran one stock photo brief on four image models to show how much the engine choice matters.
1 credit ($0.06) per image at 1K. Included in every plan, from $10/month.

One stock photo brief, four image models
Stock style lifestyle shots are a core Freepik job. We asked for a woman in her forties repotting a monstera, with empty wall on the right for text, and ran the brief unchanged on four models. Each tile shows its settings and credits.

- FLUX 3 Image followed the layout note best and left the most clean wall for a headline, for 1 credit. We made it the hero.
- Seedream 5 gave the airiest, most editorial light.
- Nano Banana 2.1 made the warmest, most lived in kitchen, a good fit for home and garden stories.
- GPT Image 2.5 framed widest and filled the table with props, handy if you plan to crop several sizes from one image.
What Pixel Dojo adds around the models
Sensei plans before it spends
Describe a project and Sensei writes a plan, prices it, waits for your approval and reviews every take before it hands it over.
Film Studio for whole stories
Script, cast, storyboard and clips in one place, with a whole film editor pass that trims and orders the cut.
Your style as a LoRA
Train a LoRA on FLUX, Qwen, WAN or Z-Image so a brand look or a product stays the same across a whole campaign.
Characters by name
Save a character in Character Studio and call it by @name in any prompt on the site.
Why Freepik users switch to Pixel Dojo
Unlimited on every plan
On every paid plan, Relax runs Qwen Image 2.1, FLUX 3 Image Klein and MiniMax H3 Turbo, plus every video and photo effect, unlimited with no credits spent.
Sensei, the AI director
Describe a project and Sensei plans it, prices it, waits for your approval and reviews every take.
Character Studio
Save a face once and call it by @name in any prompt, so the same person shows up in every image and clip.
Film Studio
An idea becomes a finished film: script, cast, storyboard, clips and an editor pass that trims every shot, with each step priced before it runs.
Photo effects
45+ photo effects restyle a picture in one click, from a hand painted anime still to a boxed action figure or a magazine cover, and every one starts from your own upload.
Start from a genre
Pick a format such as a UGC ad, a micro drama, a movie trailer or an explainer, and the matching studio opens with the settings and a sample idea filled in.
Star in any video
Upload a short clip, pick a saved character or a photo, and Character Swap puts your star in the lead while the scene, camera moves and sound stay the same.
Credits that roll over
Your credits roll over while you stay subscribed, so nothing you pay for disappears at the end of the month.
Every top model, plus an API
More than 80 image and 60 video models in one account, with a public API and a hosted MCP server for your own apps and AI assistants.
