The Rise of AI in Digital Content
Picsart’s introduction of Ignite aligns with the growing trend of integrating generative AI in the digital content space. Companies are increasingly upgrading their offerings using AI technologies. Picsart initially ventured into AI with the launch of three dedicated tools: AI Writer for generating written content, AI Image Generator for producing creative images, and AI Replace for modifying images using AI-generated elements.
Now, with Ignite, Picsart expands its AI capabilities and provides users with a comprehensive suite of tools. The company’s efforts are well-received, with more than 2 million images being generated daily using their AI tools.
“We developed these features to enable users to turn their ideas into stunning visual content – whether they’re posting ads for their business, memes for their friends, or anything in between.” – Hovhannes Avoyan, CEO of Picsart.
Picsart’s Ignite suite caters not only to individual content creators but also to businesses and digital marketers. It offers AI-powered tools to generate visually appealing content, including QR codes, on-brand texts, logos, and advertisements. Comparable to Adobe and Canva, Picsart aims to provide a comprehensive platform that leverages AI to meet digital content needs.
The global content creation market is projected to reach $69.8 billion by 2030, thanks to technological advancements like AI-based tooling. Additionally, the growth of cloud computing and increased smartphone and internet usage contribute to this market expansion according to Grand View Research.
