Freepik has introduced a new AI image generator called F Lite, which differs from competitors by being trained exclusively on licensed data. However, this powerful tool requires high-performance hardware with a minimum of 24GB of video memory to function properly.

Freepik, known for its extensive stock image library and graphic resources, has introduced an innovative product in the field of artificial intelligence — the F Lite image generator. Unlike many competitors, the new tool has been trained exclusively on licensed content, addressing many ethical and legal issues associated with AI generation.
Features of Freepik's F Lite
F Lite offers users a range of unique capabilities:
- Generation of high-quality images based on text prompts
- Creation of graphics in various styles and formats
- Ability to edit and refine generated images
- Integration with other products in the Freepik ecosystem
- Complete legality of using the results for commercial projects
Hardware Requirements
The main feature of F Lite is its high demand for hardware resources. The following equipment is necessary for the generator to work correctly:
- Graphics card with at least 24GB of video memory (NVIDIA RTX 3090, 4090 series, or professional models are recommended)
- Intel Core i7/i9 of the latest generations or AMD Ryzen 7/9 processor
- RAM starting from 32GB
- SSD storage with at least 100GB of free space
- Windows 10/11 (64-bit) operating system or macOS (on Apple Silicon devices)
Why so much VRAM is needed?
The requirement for 24GB of video memory is due to several factors:
- High complexity of the neural network model underlying F Lite
- Use of expanded datasets for training
- Capability to generate ultra-high-resolution images
- Simultaneous processing of multiple stylistic parameters
- Integration of real-time copyright verification systems
Differences from competitors
F Lite differs significantly from other AI image generators such as Midjourney, DALL-E, or Stable Diffusion:
- Use of exclusively licensed data for neural network training
- Built-in copyright verification mechanisms
- More accurate reproduction of styles and concepts
- Ability to run locally without the need for cloud services
- Transparent licensing system for work results
Usage options
F Lite is offered in several usage options:
- Local version for professionals (requires appropriate hardware)
- Cloud version with monthly payment (with a limited number of requests)
- Enterprise solution for large companies with extended support
It's worth noting that even the cloud version implies a relatively high subscription cost, positioning F Lite as a tool primarily for professional use in graphic studios, advertising agencies, and publishing houses.
Development prospects
Freepik representatives report that F Lite is just the first step in developing the company's ecosystem of AI tools. In the near future, they plan to:
- Integrate with video generation
- Create specialized models for various industries (fashion, architecture, product design)
- Release lighter versions with lower hardware requirements
- Develop tools for collaborative work on AI projects
F Lite is already available for testing by professional users. The full commercial release is scheduled for the third quarter of 2025.
