Picsart, has just unveiled Picsart Ignite, a groundbreaking suite of 20 AI-powered tools tailored for both businesses and individuals. This comprehensive suite is strategically designed to streamline the creation of diverse content, including ads, social media posts, logos, and more.
Among the notable tools within Picsart Ignite are features that facilitate the generation of videos, images, GIFs, logos, backgrounds, QR codes, and stickers. Notably, the suite introduces an innovative “AI Expand” function, allowing users to enhance images with additional details suggested by AI. Complementing this is the “AI Object Remove in Video” feature, enabling the removal of unwanted elements for a distraction-free video experience.
Adding an artistic touch, the “AI Style Transfer” feature lets users apply various artistic styles to their visuals. The suite also includes an “AI Avatar” tool, capable of generating realistic avatars suitable for professional portraits. For a touch of lightheartedness, there’s an “AI Avatar – For Couples and Pets” tool, transforming individuals into superheroes or turning pets into royalty.
These new tools join Picsart’s existing suite of AI-powered features, such as AI Writer, AI Replace, and AI Image Generator, contributing to the creation of over 2 million images daily.
Hovhannes Avoyan, Founder and CEO of Picsart, Picsart Ignite expressed the company’s philosophy, stating, “At Picsart, we believe that everyone is a creator.” He emphasized the platform’s commitment to providing users with powerful yet user-friendly tools to bring their unique visions to life, whether for business ads, memes, or any other creative endeavor.
Picsart Ignite is now accessible to users across Picsart’s web, iOS, and Android platforms.
This launch aligns with a broader trend where various platforms, regardless of size, are integrating AI tools into their services. Notably, earlier this year, Canva introduced a suite of AI-powered tools, while Figma recently incorporated three generative AI features into its FigJam whiteboard tool.
Picsart has been at the forefront of the AI wave, with its January release of “SketchAI,” an app transforming photos and drawings into digital art. The company’s foray into social collaboration is evident with the May launch of in-app communities, named “Spaces,” dedicated to specific topics and interests. These Spaces serve as hubs for users to connect and create around shared passions, marking a shift in Picsart’s focus toward fostering social engagement.
