Artlist is an Israel-based creative technology company that specializes in AI tools[1] alongside royalty-free creative assets[2] and editing tools.[3]
History
Artlist was founded in Israel in 2016 by Ira Belsky, Itzik Elbaz, Eyal Raz and Assaf Ayalon[4] as a royalty-free music site called Artlist.io that originally targeted independent filmmakers looking to license music cheaply.[5][6]
The company expanded its catalog with the launch of the Artgrid stock footage platform in 2019[7] and a sound effects subscription service.[8][9]
Elephant Partners made an initial investment in 2018[10] before Artlist raised $48M led by the investment company KKR in February 2020.[11][12] In December 2020 the company acquired the Atlanta-based company Motion Array for $65M.[13] After the Motion Array acquisition, Artlist reportedly had a library of over 800,000 digital assets.[14][15]
In May 2021, Artlist joined the independent music publisher's agency IMPEL.[16] Artlist Original produces original songs for licensing on the Artlist platforms.[17][18]
In 2021, Artlist announced the acquisition of FXhome, a Norwich-based software company that specializes in software and plugins for video and image editing, to become its software division.[19]
In 2024-2025, Artlist evolved into a fully AI-driven creative ecosystem and added AI tools and models for image, video, and voiceover creation[20].
