Pakistani Startup Successfully Surpasses Leading AI Image Generators in Photorealism

As AI tools evolve, everyday people get to experience new, reality-altering moments. In such a time, expecting cutting-edge technology to come out of Pakistan sounds absurd, however, this is exactly what Vyro’s ImagineArt, and the corresponding image model ImagineArt 1.0 has achieved, blending human imagination with computational prowess to generate hyperrealistic image and video generation.

ImagineArt and ImagineArt 1.0: A Brief History

Developed by Vyro AI, a bootstrapped Pakistani startup that’s quietly revolutionizing content creation, ImagineArt is all in one AI creative suite that transforms simple text prompts into images, videos, shorts, voiceovers, and more. Their newest entry into the AI toolset is ImagineArt 1.0, delivering outputs that often rival professional photography.

ImagineArt, launched by the innovative Pakistani startup Vyro AI in 2018, soon became a full-fledged creative ecosystem focused on AI/ML for content creation. Led by CEO Ahmed Abubakr, CTO and co-founder Abdullah Rafique (a computer vision expert), and Co-founder and CGO Zain-ul-Abedein, the company has bootstrapped its way to prominence without major funding rounds.

What truly sets ImagineArt apart from industry heavyweights like Midjourney, DALL·E, and Stable Diffusion is its photorealism, earning it the title of the “world’s most realistic AI model” in 2025. With over 3.5 million active users as of May 2025 and more than 3.2 million downloads for its core AI Art Generator app, ImagineArt is democratizing high fidelity AI art.

ImagineArt’s lesser known multilingual audio video capabilities, born from Vyro AI’s roots in cross cultural communication tools, allow seamless real time dubbing across languages, a feature that’s quietly boosting its adoption in global content creation.

ImagineArt Performance Metrics

As of 2025, ImagineArt boasts robust adoption metrics: over 330,000 Android installs this year alone, monthly Google Play revenues hitting $99,000 in September, and annual recurring revenue exceeding $10 million by mid-year.

Breaking down by platform reveals even more impressive engagement. On the web version at imagine.art, there are 1.5 million monthly active users (MAUs), with an average of 5.5 million AI images and 200,000 videos generated per month, and users spending an average of 16 minutes per session daily.

The Android app (available on Google Play) reports 700,000 MAUs, an average session time of 5 minutes, and 20,000 paying users per month. Meanwhile, the iOS app (on the App Store) has 50,000 MAUs, generating an average of 50,000 AI images per month, with sessions averaging 10 minutes.

This grassroots momentum thrives in a global AI image generator market valued at $468 million in 2025, projected to soar to $1.08 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 17.6%.

Whether you’re a marketer crafting stunning ad visuals, an educator illustrating complex concepts, or a real estate agent visualizing properties, ImagineArt’s integrated tools span image, video, audio, sketching, and voice generation, combining multiple studios into one seamless environment.

This comprehensive approach supports diverse industries including design, marketing, e-commerce, education, and real estate, all powered by a credit based system for efficient access management.

ImagineArt 1.0 vs. Competitors: Why It Leads in Realism

In 2025 benchmarks, ImagineArt’s most advanced and latest image mode ImagineArt 1.0 has been released, which outperforms in photorealism for practical applications, with users noting its accuracy turns “imagination into reality.”

Vs. Midjourney: Midjourney excels in stylized, artistic outputs with high detail but often adds unintended drama. ImagineArt provides grounded, neutral renders; up to 30% faster and 15% more precise in proportions for marketing, without Discord’s learning curve.
Vs. DALL-E 3: DALL-E shines in whimsical, conversational prompts but struggles with lifelike vegetation and staged compositions. ImagineArt’s realism feels “straight-from-camera,” with better text rendering for posters.
Vs. Stable Diffusion: Offers deep customization but requires tech expertise and is artifact-prone. ImagineArt’s plug-and-play interface wins for accessibility, integrating models like Imagen 4 for balanced artistry.

Below is a comparison of how ImagineArt 1.0 (left) and ChatGPT (right) handle the prompt:

“Frost-covered fallen leaves creating a textured foreground, a man in a thick woolen coat with steam rising from his breath sitting on a weathered park bench in the middle ground, bare winter trees and a softly falling snowstorm obscuring a distant city skyline in the background, captured with natural window light simulating cold, diffused daylight, shot at 85mm f/2.8 with a shallow depth of field to isolate the subject, realistic style with a desaturated blue and grey color palette and subtle film grain.”

TechJuice Verdict on ImagineArt 1.0

TechJuice reached out to Zain Ul Abedien, the CGO behind the new tool, and found some exciting details about ImagineArt 1.0. We were given 50 free credits to experiment with the realism the tool offers, and we generated the following images:

All in all, these images are crisp, clean and full of details, which make them realistic. However, despite the claims, TechJuice could not verify if the image generation is the most realistic ones, as claimed by the company. In regard to image generation loading time, we found the tool takes more than a minute after user hit Enter the prompt. In comparison, many other image generating AI tools take a few seconds.

Future Roadmap

The road ahead looks promising. Despite initial hurdles and challenges, ImagineArt has a clear way to dominate the local and global AI content generation. Like many other models, they might consider expanding into a tier-based fully-operational AI agents, focusing primarily on content generation. However, the possibilities are endless, and the team at Vyro seems to have a vision.

What it is going to be in reality is a matter of time. Till then, Pakistan tech community can sight in relief that a local Islamabad-based startup has just come up with a unique tool that is making the heads turn, even in the most accomplished AI companies across the globe.
