Lightricks is a privately held company dedicated to bridging the gap between imagination and creation. Its story began in 2013 when a group of visionary entrepreneurs embarked on a journey to develop powerful photo and video editing apps for the mobile environment. Starting with a single editing tool called Facetune, the company has evolved to become the driving force behind some of the most popular AI-based photo and video editing tools for mobile, including Videoleap and Photoleap, boasting an impressive 680 million app downloads worldwide.
Lightricks’ core mission is to revolutionize photo and video creation, placing the power of crafting compelling, high-performing content into the hands of creators and brands alike. It achieves this through cutting-edge technology that seamlessly blends facial recognition and generative AI features, pushing the boundaries of digital creativity. With a passionate team of over 500 employees worldwide, the company propels this innovation from its headquarters nestled in Jerusalem. Its investors include Goldman Sachs Growth Equity, Insight Partners, Greycroft, and Viola Ventures.
