About "Visual Electric"
This service has shut down. In October 2025 Perplexity announced it had acquired the Visual Electric team, and the product was scheduled to wind down 90 days later. Users could export their data, and subscribers received prorated refunds. The team joined a new "Agent Experiences" group at Perplexity. The official domain no longer exists.
For alternatives, see the image generation category.
The following describes the service as it stood at closure. None of it is available now.
