Overview
Lightricks is an Israeli AI-first company that builds creative software for photo and video editing, best known for its flagship mobile app Facetune. The company was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Jerusalem, Israel.
Lightricks' product lineup has grown from consumer photo and video editing apps — Facetune, Photoleap, and Videoleap — into a broader stack that includes Popular Pays, a platform connecting brands with content creators, and LTX Studio, an AI-powered visual storytelling and filmmaking platform launched in 2024. The company also develops its own generative video models, including the open-source LTX Video model released in November 2024.
In 2026, Lightricks restructured into two separate companies: Facetune, which continues the company's consumer photo and video editing business under new leadership, and LTX, an AI video modeling division led by co-founder and CEO Zeev Farbman, reflecting the company's strategic pivot toward building and commercializing its own AI video foundation models.
Private securities are speculative, illiquid, and involve risk of complete loss of principal. You should be prepared to hold private securities for an extended period; there is no assurance of a secondary market, an IPO, or other liquidity event. You are fully responsible for conducting your own due diligence. Pricing is indicative — nothing here is an offer of securities.
