Picsart has announced that creators participating in its Earn with Picsart program have collectively earned more than $1 million, marking a significant milestone for the company's AI-powered creator ecosystem. The initiative aims to redefine creator monetization by rewarding content performance rather than audience size, giving creators of all experience levels an opportunity to generate income through AI-assisted video content creation.
Picsart's Earn with Picsart program was designed to remove traditional barriers that often prevent creators from monetizing their work. Instead of requiring minimum follower thresholds or invitation-only access, the program rewards creators based on how their content performs across major social media platforms.
Since its launch, the initiative has attracted more than 80,000 registered creators across North America, Southeast Asia, Brazil, and other global markets. Collectively, their content has generated over 5 billion views and now delivers more than 100 million daily views across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X.
The company says this performance-based model allows talented creators to earn income regardless of audience size, with top participants generating as much as $10,000 per month.
Central to the program is Picsart's Gen AI Studio, which provides creators with access to a broad portfolio of image and video generation technologies.
The platform integrates AI models from providers including OpenAI, Google, ByteDance, Kling, Alibaba, and Recraft, enabling creators to produce visual content using multiple AI models through experiences such as Playground, Flow, and Agents.
By combining AI-powered creative tools with broad social media distribution, Picsart aims to help creators produce high-performing content more efficiently while expanding monetization opportunities.
Building on the success of its creator program, Picsart has introduced Earn for Brands, a new initiative that enables businesses to collaborate directly with its growing creator community.
The program allows brands to launch customized, opt-in content campaigns while giving creators the flexibility to produce content that aligns with campaign requirements. This approach is designed to balance creative freedom with brand governance, helping businesses scale authentic content production through AI-enabled creators.
The company also continues to invest in AI infrastructure to support the next generation of creators.
Recently, Picsart expanded access to its full generative AI technology stack by introducing Command Line Interface (CLI) and Model Context Protocol (MCP) support. These additions are intended to provide creators and developers with more advanced workflows as AI-powered content creation becomes increasingly integrated into marketing and creative operations.
"We took a bet that the follower count was hiding more talent than it was surfacing and surpassing the first million dollars earnt in the program shows this. Once we started asking how content performs instead of how big an audience is, brilliant work showed up from people who traditionally may have been gatekept from revenue opportunities. Talent is far more evenly distributed than opportunity has ever been and leveling the playing field is the purpose of the Earn program,” said Hovhannes Avoyan, Founder and CEO of Picsart.
With creator monetization increasingly shifting toward performance-driven models, Picsart's latest milestone highlights the growing role of AI-powered content creation in the creator economy. By combining advanced generative AI tools with accessible earning opportunities and brand collaborations, the company is positioning itself as a platform where creators can build, distribute, and monetize content at scale.
Picsart is the AI-powered platform built for a content-first world. For more than 14 years, it has empowered the next generation of storytellers to create, scale and now monetize video content. Combining intuitive design tools, AI-powered image and video creation, and MCP and CLI functions, Picsart meets creators wherever they work. With more than 100 million monthly active users and over 2.5 billion downloads to date, Picsart is powering a new era of scalable, self-directed creativity, where content fuels identity, influence, and entrepreneurship.
