About
Jerusalem-based unicorn Lightricks has laid off 85 employees, representing about 15% of its workforce, as part of a major internal reorganization announced on October 27, 2025. The company, which specializes in creative software and AI, now employs approximately 465 people, down significantly from its peak of nearly 700 in 2022. This marks the third round of layoffs for Lightricks in recent years. The restructuring is centered on refocusing the business around artificial intelligence, particularly following the launch of its new AI video generation model. While cutting roles across various departments, Lightricks is simultaneously hiring 30 new employees to bolster its AI division, which will become its largest team. The company maintains that the move is strategic, aimed at prioritizing AI innovation over its legacy products like the photo-editing app Facetune.
