Introduction to Spaces

Spaces is a new way to collaborate and create. It's a visual workspace where you can design, automate, and collaborate on creative processes using AI tools, all on a shared, infinite canvas.

You work by connecting modular blocks called Nodes. These represent steps like generating images or videos, writing prompts, editing content, or using the Assistant to guide and refine ideas. By linking them together, you define how your work flows and shape the outcome.

Spaces helps you bring all parts of your creative process into one place, combining generation, editing, and collaboration in a clear, visual flow. You can build from scratch or start with a template, then invite your team to review, comment, and contribute in real time.

This page explains the core ideas behind Spaces. If you're new, start here before moving on to how nodes and connectors work.

What is Spaces?

Spaces is a canvas-based environment where you can design, organize, and automate your creative process in one place. Instead of switching between apps or repeating steps manually, you can connect tasks visually and automate them.

Each workflow is made of nodes that represent specific tasks, such as generating visuals, writing prompts, or editing content. These nodes connect visually, helping you structure your work, reduce repetition, and keep everything in context. You can reuse parts of a workflow, invite others to collaborate, and keep all steps visible.

See how Spaces works in action. This short demo introduces the core features and shows how to build a complete workflow using nodes and connectors.

Why we built Spaces

Most creative tools work in isolation. You generate an image in one tool, edit it in another, and share it using yet another platform. Over time, this makes it harder to track how work was created, reproduce results, or collaborate efficiently.

For advanced users, this slows down workflows. For new users, it hides complexity behind limited options. Creative work often involves steps that repeat, evolve, and require feedback.

Spaces solves common creative challenges by:

• Providing a single environment to build and run AI-powered workflows.
• Making processes visible, reusable, and version-safe.
• Enabling teams to collaborate in real time, with shared context and node-level comments.
• Supporting automation to reduce manual steps and speed up delivery.
• Offering ready-to-use templates to get started faster, even without prior experience.
• Giving all users access to Freepik stock and Community assets as part of the workflow.
• Including usage rights and commercial-safe outputs, backed by Freepik's standards.
• Balancing speed and control for both quick results and detailed creative work.

Instead of starting from scratch each time, you can build a space, adjust parts as needed, and run it again.

What you can do in Spaces

Inside a Space, your workflow is built from nodes. Each node performs a specific task, and you define how data flows between them.

Here are some things you can build:

• Use text nodes to write prompts or instructions.
• Use Image nodes as references or inputs for generating new visuals.
• Write and reuse prompts as standalone text nodes.
• Use the Assistant node to describe visuals, create prompts, or ask for suggestions.
• Keep everything organized by grouping related nodes and using alignment tools.
• Enhance image quality using the Image Upscaler.
• Use creation nodes to access editing options like chat-based edits, retouch, or crop.
• Share your Space and leave comments on specific nodes while collaborating with teammates across different roles in real time.
• Run multiple workflows at once.

Each Space can be saved, duplicated, edited, and shared with different access levels.

Core concepts

To use Spaces effectively, it's important to understand the basic components:

• Space: A single canvas where you can organize, generate, or explore ideas visually. It may contain one or multiple workflows, or just a single node.
• Node: A step in the process. It can be a piece of information (like text or a creation) or a tool (such as a generator, the Assistant, or the Upscaler).
• Connector: A link between nodes that passes information from one to the next.
• Panel: A group of nodes, used to structure parts of your workflow and apply batch actions.
• Assistant: A node powered by AI that can generate text prompts, explain content, or provide input suggestions.

These elements can be rearranged, duplicated, and reused to suit the type of project you're working on.

Get started

To open Spaces, go to the Freepik homepage, open the AI Suite from the left-hand menu, and select Spaces under the All tools tab.

On the Spaces home screen, you’ll see your recent Spaces and a selection of templates to help you get started or explore new ideas.

You can create a new Space from scratch or start with a template. If you're not sure where to begin, continue with the next page: Nodes and connectors.
