Getting Started with Pixerr

Welcome to Pixerr! This guide will walk you through everything you need to start creating and selling AI-generated products.

What You'll Learn:
  • Creating your Pixerr account
  • Navigating the dashboard
  • Generating your first AI artwork
  • Creating physical products AND selling digital downloads
  • Sharing artwork on social media with optimized preview cards
  • Setting up payments with Stripe Connect
  • Promoting your shop and maximizing earnings

Step 1: Create Your Account

1
Sign Up for Free

Visit pixerr.com/register and create your account. You'll start on our Free plan with:

  • 300 AI tokens/month to generate artwork
  • 24 products you can create and sell
  • 150 images to store in your gallery (original product images and WebP variants don't count toward your limit)

Step 2: Explore Your Dashboard

2
First Login: Set Up Stripe Connect
Important: The first time you log in, you'll see a prompt to set up Stripe Connect for payouts. This is required to receive earnings when your products sell.

Two options:

  • Set up now (recommended): Click "Setup Stripe Connect" and complete the 10-minute onboarding
  • Set up later: Skip for now, but you won't receive payouts until you complete it

See our Stripe Connect Setup Guide for detailed instructions.

After Stripe Setup: Your Dashboard

Once Stripe Connect is configured (or skipped), you'll see your full creator dashboard with:

  • Stripe Connect Status: Connected account info and payout balance
  • Token Balance: Your monthly and hourly AI token usage
  • Products: Manage your product catalog
  • Images: Your AI-generated artwork gallery
  • Collections: Organize products into themed collections
  • Analytics: Track views, likes, and sales performance
  • Settings: Update shop name, description, and payment settings

✅ Good News: You can start creating artwork and products immediately—Stripe Connect is only needed when you're ready to receive payouts!

Step 3: Generate Your First AI Artwork

3
Create AI Art
  1. Click "Create Artwork" or "Designer" in the navigation
  2. Choose an AI model from the sidebar (Leonardo AI):
    • Realistic (5 tokens) - Photorealistic images powered by Leonardo Phoenix
    • Anime (5 tokens) - Anime/illustration style with Leonardo Anime XL
    • Flux Schnell (5 tokens) - Fast, high-quality general purpose
    • Lucid Realism (8 tokens) - Cinematic quality for professional work
    • Lucid Origin (10 tokens) - HD output with excellent text rendering
    • Flux Dev (15 tokens) - Maximum quality with Alchemy, best for print products
  3. Write a descriptive prompt (e.g., "A mystical forest with glowing mushrooms at sunset")
  4. Select dimensions (512x512 up to 2048x2048) — larger is better for print quality!
  5. Click "Generate" and wait 30-60 seconds

💡 Pro Tip: Check out our AI Prompt Guide to learn how to write amazing prompts!

📐 Image Quality: For best print results, see our Artwork Requirements for recommended resolutions by product type.

Step 3B: Import Images from Remote URLs

3B
Bring External Artwork into Pixerr

Already have artwork hosted on another site or CDN? Use Pixerr’s remote import to pull it straight into your gallery—no downloads required.

  1. Copy a direct HTTPS link to the image (JPG, PNG, or WebP). Links must be publicly accessible and under 10 MB.
  2. Visit https://pixerr.com/import?imageUrl=YOUR_URL (or paste the URL after logging in).
  3. If you are not signed in, finish logging in or creating an account. Pixerr will resume the import automatically after authentication.
  4. Once imported, Pixerr generates optimized WebP variants and adds the image to your gallery with a success banner.
  5. Open the Designer to rename the image, enable digital sales, or apply it to products just like any AI-generated asset.
Supported Sources:
  • HTTPS links from public image hosts, CDNs, or your own website
  • JPEG/JPG, PNG, and WebP files up to 10 MB
  • Pixerr automatically converts unsupported formats (e.g. GIF) to PNG when possible

Important: Private/credentialed URLs, expiring signed links, or sources that block standard browser user agents may not import. Try downloading locally and uploading if a URL fails.

Step 4: Monetize Your Artwork

You have two ways to make money from your artwork on Pixerr:

Option 1: Physical Print-on-Demand Products
4A
Turn Art Into Products
  1. From your Image Gallery, select an artwork you created
  2. Click "Create Product" or "Apply to Product"
  3. Choose a product type:
    • Apparel: T-shirts, hoodies, tank tops
    • Accessories: Phone cases, tote bags, hats
    • Home & Living: Mugs, pillows, wall art
    • Stationery: Notebooks, stickers, posters
  4. Preview how your artwork looks on the product
  5. Set your selling price (we show you the minimum profitable price)
  6. Add a title and description
  7. Click "Publish" to add to your store

⚠️ Important: Factor in platform fees (10% Free, 5% Creator, 1% Pro) and fulfillment costs when pricing!

Option 2: Sell Digital Image Downloads
4B
Enable Digital Sales
  1. From your Image Gallery, select an artwork you created
  2. Toggle "Show in Public Gallery" to make your image public
  3. The "Enable Digital Sales" section will appear automatically
  4. Toggle "Enable Digital Sales" to ON
  5. Set your price ($1-$999)
  6. Click "Save"
  7. Your image now has a "Add to Cart" button in your public gallery
Higher Profit Margins!
  • No production costs: Keep significantly more per sale
  • Instant delivery: Buyers receive download links immediately
  • Unlimited sales: Sell the same image as many times as you want
  • Example: $10 digital download on Creator plan = $9.20 profit vs $9.75 for a $25 t-shirt

💡 Pro Tip: You can do both! Sell your artwork as digital downloads AND apply it to physical products to maximize your income streams.

Step 5: Set Up Stripe Connect for Payouts

5
Receive Payments

To receive payouts when your products sell, you must connect a Stripe account:

  1. Go to Dashboard → Settings
  2. Find the "Stripe Connect" section
  3. Click "Connect Stripe Account"
  4. You'll be redirected to Stripe to:
    • Create a free Stripe Express account (or log into existing)
    • Provide business information (individual or company)
    • Add your bank account details for direct deposits
    • Verify your identity (required by financial regulations)
  5. Once complete, you're ready to receive payouts!

✅ Security Note: Stripe handles all sensitive financial data. Pixerr never sees your bank details. Learn more in our Stripe Connect Guide.

Step 6: Share Your Artwork & Drive Traffic

Get your artwork in front of potential buyers by sharing on social media and leveraging Pixerr's built-in visibility:

  • Rich metadata for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn previews
  • Drives clicks with eye-catching visuals
