Bazaart is an AI-powered design platform with image and video editing capabilities for iOS, Android, MacOS, and the web.[1][2]

History

[edit]

Bazaart was founded in 2012 in Israel.[2] In April 2012, Bazaart launched a Facebook app called Pinvolve, which converts Facebook Pages into Pinterest pinboards.[3] From June to August 2012, it participated in the DreamIt startup accelerator in New York and raised $25,000 from the accelerator.[4][5]

In July 2012, it launched its first version as an iPad app connected to Pinterest.[6][7][8][9]

In December 2013, it pivoted and launched a major version of its app, a "social" photoshop that allowed users to edit images which could be pulled in from the camera roll, social networks, and other sources.[10][11]

In July 2014, Bazaart reached one million downloads[12] and in December was selected by Apple as Best of 2014.[13]

In 2015, Bazaart added Photoshop integration in a partnership with Adobe.[14][15] In September 2020, Bazaart launched an Android app.[16] In December 2020, Bazaart was selected by Google as Best of 2020.[17][18]

In January 2022, Bazaart added video editing capabilities.[19]

In 2023, the platform added AI-powered backgrounds[20] and video background removal features.[21]
