About Magic
Magic is an AI content platform for e-commerce and brands that turns a product photo into videos and images. The homepage groups the output into three kinds: product VFX video that places the product inside real footage, catalog images and video with fixed angles and light so every SKU looks alike, and creator-style content with AI spokespeople and handheld-style clips.
Working it yourself takes three steps: pick a template from more than 400 production templates tuned by category such as fashion, beauty and tech, upload a product photo, and get a video or image of up to 4K with commercial rights included. The product also exposes an API and a Studio, and offers UGC video and product visuals as separate tools.
For larger needs there is a managed route in which the team studies your references and brand rules, builds and tests a pipeline on your products, and runs it through the platform, the API or a batch they run for you. Starting is free with no card.
