Magnific (formerly Freepik) covers image, video, audio, 3D and 250M+ stock assets. Virse is a reference-led design canvas. Magnific may suit you if one plan must cover image, video, audio and 3D. Virse may be a better fit if you want each generation to show its references, and one look from 1–20 images reused in generation, search and the agent. Public docs, September 2026.
Both products put generation on an infinite canvas. This group compares how material moves between steps and how people work on it together.
| Dimension | Virse | Magnific | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| The canvas | An infinite canvas where references, briefs and notes, documents and alternative results sit side by side. Image, video, text, search, Virse Creator and smart-tool nodes are added on the canvas. | Spaces is a node-based canvas for real-time collaborative creation. Documented nodes include Upload, Text, Assistant, Image Generator, Video Generator and Image Upscaler. | Source |
| Passing references to the next step | Drag a connection from one node to another to make it a reference for the next generation, such as a product shot into an image node or an opening image into a video's first frame. The reference area shows which references a generation uses, and references can be added or removed there. | Reference images connect to an Image Generator through a Reference port. Not every model accepts references, and each model's feature tag shows how many it takes. | Source |
| Trying alternatives | Re-render replaces the current result. Render new keeps it and adds another result for side-by-side comparison. Clone creates an empty node with the same prompt, settings and references. | The home page describes Spaces as one infinite, node-based canvas where you can branch ideas and compare versions. | Source |
| Working on it with others | Share a canvas by link with view, use (download) or edit permission, or invite people by email. Comment on the canvas, an image or a group, reply, and mark comments resolved. | Spaces is an infinite shared canvas where people work together in real time. The Business page adds comments pinned to an exact spot of an image or second of a video, and an approved, in review or rejected status for each asset. | Source |
Both products let you keep what worked, whether that is a look, a workflow, an agent setup or a folder of assets, and use it again. They package it differently.
| Dimension | Virse | Magnific | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reusing a visual look | Build a reusable aesthetic from 1–20 reference images (colour, composition, lighting, material, mood), or pick an official aesthetic from the community library. Aesthetics work in generation, search and Virse Creator, and can be saved to folders and shared. | Custom Styles trains a LoRA from 10 to 50 images, or creates a style from a prompt. The listed supported models are Mystic 1.0, Mystic 2.5, Mystic 2.5 Flexible and Flux.1. Ready-made styles are also offered. | Source |
| Reusable workflows | Smart tools package the inputs, process and output requirements of a repeated task. Reuse one with new material, run a batch of similar assets the same way, share it with the team, or let Virse Creator call it. Official tools can be added from the community. | Any on-brand workflow can be saved as an App that the next person runs in one click. | Source |
| The AI agent | Virse Creator works on the canvas. Give it a task and references (images, Word, PDF); it plans steps, searches for references, calls models and tools, and produces images, video and Word/PDF documents. It continues from the conversation's earlier requirements and results. | Magnific Agents take knowledge bases (PDFs, images, video, text files and docs), keep two memory layers, and wire nodes, pick models and run workflows inside Spaces. Custom agents can be shared with the team. | Source |
| Organising your work | Asset management holds images, videos, documents, canvases and aesthetics in folders. Star, move, copy, batch-manage, restore from trash, and share with permissions. Word (.docx) and PDF files up to 100 MB can be uploaded; Word can be edited online. | Projects organise brand assets, generated content and workflows so a team's work stays together. | Source |
This is where Magnific's breadth shows. Read these rows against the media types and team size you actually need.
| Dimension | Virse | Magnific | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Media types and models | 40+ AI models (21 image, 16 video, 4 text), including GPT Image 2.5, Nano Banana 2 / Pro, Seedream 5.0 Pro, Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0 and Seedance 2.0 / 2.5. Model, aspect ratio, resolution and quality are chosen per generation, and estimated compute is shown before generating. | Image, video, audio and 3D in one platform. The home page names models including Nano Banana 2, Seedream 5, Seedance 2, Kling 3, Veo 3 and ElevenLabs, and its FAQ refers to 40+ AI models. | Source |
| Upscaling | Upscale, expand (outpaint) and remove background are built in. GPT Image 2.5 outputs at 1K, 2K and 4K. | The Image Upscaler offers Classic and Magnific models, up to 16× clarity, output up to 10K and bulk upscaling. A separate Video Upscaler is listed. | Source |
| Source material | Search and browse reference images, then save them to asset management or bring them onto the canvas. A search node runs a search on the canvas, optionally with reference images and an aesthetic. | A stock library of 250M+ photos, vectors, icons and templates, licensed for commercial use and connected to every workflow on the platform. | Source |
| Team administration | Team spaces with shared project folders, member groups, admins, per-member compute caps, allocation of unlimited-creation seats, and a security setting that pauses external sharing. Business plans support up to 50 seats. Plan details checked on the Virse pricing page on 2026-09-24. | The Business plan covers 2–100 seats with Owner, Admin and Member roles, a shared credit pool, credit usage reports by user, and SSO via SAML 2.0. | Source |
Drag a connection from a product shot, a sketch or an opening frame into the next node and it becomes a reference for that generation. The reference area lists what the generation is using, so you can add or remove a reference without rebuilding the step.
Build a reusable aesthetic from as few as one and as many as twenty reference images, covering colour, composition, lighting, material and mood. Use it in generation, in search and with Virse Creator, save it to a folder, and share it with the team.
Package the inputs, process and output requirements of a job you run every week. Run it again with new material, process a batch of similar assets the same way, share it with the team, or let Virse Creator call it.
Magnific documents a broader set of media tools. The split below is about what you need a single subscription to cover.
Plan the move as a rebuild of your references and workflow, not a file transfer.
Note any work that relies on audio, 3D, stock assets or high-resolution upscaling, and decide where each of those will live afterwards.
Download your finished assets, reference images and brand documents. For anything that came from a stock library, check its licence terms before you reuse it elsewhere.
Upload references and Word or PDF briefs to asset management or straight onto a canvas. Build an aesthetic from 1–20 approved reference images, and connect references to the image and video nodes that should use them.
Take a real brief through the canvas, compare results with render new, and package any step you repeat as a smart tool. Using Virse for connected creative work while keeping Magnific for audio, 3D or stock is a reasonable outcome.
Sign up, bring a real brief and its references onto a canvas, and connect them to the nodes that should use them. Build an aesthetic from your approved images and see whether a reference-led canvas fits the way your team works.
