PixAI review
A focused anime image suite with LoRA training, video tools, and API access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PixAI is an AI image generation platform for creators working in anime, manga, and illustration styles. It supports text-prompt image generation, reference-image generation, inpainting, outpainting, enhancement, upscaling, and image-to-video generation. Its community gallery, models, LoRAs, and contests add discovery and experimentation around the core image workflow. PixAI is available on the web and iOS, with API access for programmatic generation. It is best suited to anime-focused creators, character designers, and users training custom LoRAs rather than teams seeking a general-purpose image platform.
Pricing is structured around a free tier and three paid memberships. Free includes daily credits. Starter costs $7.99 per month with annual billing and adds 300,000 monthly bonus credits, a 20% daily credit boost, and 3 free LoRA trainings per month. Plus costs $22.99 per month with annual billing, offering 1,000,000 monthly bonus credits, a 100% daily credit boost, and 5 free LoRA trainings per month. Premium costs $35.99 per month with annual billing and includes 2,000,000 monthly bonus credits, a 200% daily credit boost, and 10 free LoRA trainings per month. Displayed USD amounts may vary slightly by region and exchange rate.
The standout capability is breadth within an anime-oriented workflow: users can combine specialized models and community LoRAs with reference images, editing tools, enhancement, custom training, and video generation. The REST API supports asynchronous tasks and webhooks, making PixAI relevant for developers who need programmatic image generation. Commercial use requires care because rights can vary by individual model or LoRA license, despite support for personal and commercial projects. Choose PixAI for anime-centered creation, LoRA experimentation, and related API workflows; choose an alternative if broad commercial clarity across every model or a wider visual focus is the priority.
