Overview
Summary of investigation and findings: Attempted to access the Freepik AI Image Generator main page (https://www.freepik.com/ai/image-generator) but received an HTTP 403 Access Denied response; the error page included a reference code and contact information for Freepik support ([email protected]). Because the main page was blocked, information below was collected from Freepik support articles, docs, pricing pages, and other Freepik pages describing the AI Image Generator and related features. Collected capabilities and features include text-to-image generation, image-to-image (reimagine) workflows, image editing (object removal, aspect ratio changes, retouching, upscaling), Custom Characters (LoRA-based fine-tuning/consistency), an Objects feature for consistent product shots, and different model modes with speed/quality tradeoffs. Outputs accept prompts and optional reference images and offer controls for aspect ratio, style references, and editing (crop, remove objects, upscale) inside the Freepik AI Suite. Freepik uses an AI credits system; credits are allocated by plan or purchased separately and different models/modes consume different numbers of credits (examples seen in support snippets: "Flux 1.0 Fast — 5 credits per image" and "Flux 1.0 — 10 credits per image"). Support and pricing pages should be consulted for current credit costs and exact plan terms. Support docs also cover licensing rules and attribution/usage guidance for AI-generated outputs; licensing terms can change and should be verified before using outputs commercially. Troubleshooting suggestions for the 403 include signing in, trying a different network/VPN, clearing cookies/using private browsing, trying a different device or browser, and contacting Freepik support with the reference code shown on the error page. Next steps offered: re-try fetching the blocked page, extract exact current credit costs and plan names from the support pages, or summarize licensing/attribution rules from Freepik support articles.
