Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 74 of the 89 other AI image and video generators we grade
PixAI is an AI image generator aimed at anime and manga art, on the web and in apps for iPhone and Android. It draws on more than 1.8 million community models and LoRAs, lets members train their own LoRAs, and adds chat-based editing and image-to-video. Every account gets free credits each day, and paid memberships add a large monthly credit allowance and faster generation.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about PixAI, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Picking models and LoRAs means a learning curve.
- 1
Best for anime and manga art, built on community models
Video, Turbo Mode and extra LoRA slots are paid, and purchases are non-refundable.
- 2
Paid plans start at $7.99 a month when paid by the year
As its pricing page puts it: $95.88 per year, or $9.99 billed monthly (Starter).
- 3
There is a free plan
10,000 free credits a day with no card needed, plus credits from missions, contests and community activity. Credit cost depends on the model and settings.

LoRA training
Train your own LoRA on a character or style. Members get 3 to 10 basic trainings a month at no credit cost, depending on plan.
- 7
Image and text to video

Keep it
To replace PixAI you would be making an image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

- Watch out: accounts are for people aged 18 or over

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace PixAI you would be making an image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 74 of the 89 other AI image and video generators we grade. It costs $95.88 a year.
What you could not
- An image model, which you can rent by the picture but not make.
- A video model, which you can rent by the second but not make.
- A members' space with posts, chat and events that people keep coming back to.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. PixAI’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
