## About

AI creative platform for image, video, and audio generation, with a 200M+ stock library of graphics, photos, and vectors. Formerly Freepik.

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, verified by community testing in February 2026 that showed an explicit sanctions block page on multiple Syrian networks. The team and community volunteers contacted the company repeatedly from February 2026 onward, receiving only templated acknowledgments with no commitment. In April 2026 the company rebranded from Freepik to Magnific; the block has not yet been re-tested on the new domain from Syria.

## Official timeline

- 2026-03-31 — Contacted Company. Official outreach email sent from corporateaffairs@unblocksyria.com to rpd@freepik.com. The email noted Freepik's explicit sanctions blocking page verified on Syriatel and ADSL networks, and cited Canva, Pexels, Unsplash, Getty Images, and Sketch as accessible peers in Design Tools and Stock Media.
- 2026-03-30 — Company Responded. Freepik's legal team responded to the outreach via rpd@freepik.com with an automated acknowledgment. The response confirmed receipt of request #01567043 and stated that the legal team is reviewing it. The response noted up to one month processing time for GDPR-related requests and committed to reaching out if additional information is needed. The response appears to be an automated acknowledgment, but confirms the request reached Freepik's legal team.

## Community reports

- 2026-04-28 — Note. Freepik rebranded to Magnific on 2026-04-28, unifying its stock library and AI generation tools under the Magnific name. freepik.com now redirects to magnific.com, and existing accounts, subscriptions, and API keys carried over unchanged. This entry has been updated to the new name and domain and consolidated with a separate Magnific listing that had covered the company's AI image upscaler. The Syria blocking status reflects the previously verified geo-block on freepik.com and has not yet been independently re-tested on magnific.com from a Syrian connection.
- 2026-04-22 — Company Responded. Freepik's customer service responded to a community volunteer's case (#01589638) via support@freepik.com with a templated acknowledgment. The reply thanked the volunteer for the feedback and stated that it had been passed to the relevant team to analyze and consider for future developments, but did not provide a timeline, commitment, or named contact. The response follows the same pattern as Freepik's previous replies to Syria access requests (Cases #01524034 and #01567043) and appears to be a canned customer-service acknowledgment rather than a substantive compliance review.
- 2026-02-20 — Company Responded. Freepik's customer service responded to a community volunteer's support ticket (Case #01524034) regarding Syria access restrictions. After initial confusion about the request, the volunteer clarified that the website is inaccessible from within Syria due to IP restrictions and that account creation is impossible. Freepik acknowledged the feedback and confirmed it has been passed to the relevant team for analysis and potential future action.
- 2026-02-18 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer submitted a support ticket to Freepik requesting service access for users in Syria. The ticket was filed for both Freepik and Flaticon services. Freepik's support system auto-acknowledged the request and committed to responding within 48 business hours.
- 2026-02-12 — Contacted Company. Freepik was contacted regarding lifting Syria access restrictions. Awaiting response from the company. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/nt9g06r51oxo86e4tdhn15fy/svr0p09b4ecjypn3j2mrxtyg-cleanshot-2026-02-12-at-16.52.15.png)
- 2026-02-12 — Verified. Community verification from Syria: Freepik confirmed still blocked with an explicit sanctions message. Tested on both Syriatel mobile and ADSL fixed-line networks by multiple independent users. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/of7zmxwkdoig90jggecg8a19/cg12vk14dii6fsidlxwl3fe1-screenshot-2026-02-12-165731.png, https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/jve3objgv0n5exi1uezvftap/nz8t87wqi3is1f22wiatabdd-freepik.png)

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
