In 2016, Ira Belsky and Itzik Elbaz founded Artlist with a clear vision: simplify content creation by eliminating the complex licensing models that made digital assets difficult and expensive to use. What started as a music licensing platform has evolved into a comprehensive creative technology company that empowers millions of creators worldwide. The founders, both self-taught filmmakers themselves, understood the frustration of navigating copyright restrictions and built Artlist to provide a simple global license with unlimited usage.
Today, Artlist offers an all-in-one video creation platform featuring over 2.5 million high-quality, royalty-free digital assets including music, sound effects, footage, and templates - all created by award-winning artists. The platform now integrates cutting-edge generative AI tools for image, video, and voiceover creation, positioning itself at the forefront of the AI-powered creative revolution. Trusted by over 30 million creators and top-tier global brands like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Versace, Artlist continues to democratize creativity by making professional-grade content accessible to everyone, everywhere.
