What is Prisma Labs?

Updated

Prisma Labs is the company behind two AI photo and video editing apps: Lensa AI and Prisma AI. It builds tools intended to let anyone produce edited or stylized images in seconds, with no prior editing skills required. If you are deciding whether to try one of its apps, the practical question is which app matches your task — portrait cleanup and effects, or turning a photo into artwork.

The two apps and what each is for

App What it does, per Prisma Labs Best fit when you want to…
Lensa AI Perfect portraits, replace backgrounds, and add standout effects — described as achievable with a single tap Improve a portrait, swap a background, or apply a quick visual effect
Prisma AI Hundreds of art and portrait styles inspired by famous artists; your photo reimagined as art Turn an ordinary photo into a stylized, art-like image

Both are presented as producing results in seconds without skills or prior experience. The company positions this as "democratized" photo and video editing.

What the company claims about itself

  • Founded in 2016.
  • 200M+ downloads across its apps.
  • App of the Year winner at both the App Store and Google Play.
  • Trusted by millions worldwide.
  • The team is described as remote-first and flexible.

These are the company's own figures and awards; treat them as marketing claims rather than independently verified statistics.

How to get started

The site offers a direct route to the Prisma app ("Get Prisma") and a separate page for Lensa ("Meet Lensa"). To evaluate either app, open the relevant app page, check the current description and any listed requirements there, then install it through your device's app store. The site does not publish pricing details, so confirm cost and any account requirements inside the app store listing or the app itself before committing.

If you are interested in working there

Prisma Labs lists open roles under a "Join our team" section, describing the company as remote-first and flexible. Candidates can browse current openings from that section of the site.
