Getting Started with Pixerr

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)
• 10% platform fee on sales

💡 Pro Tip: You can upgrade to Creator ($20/mo) or Pro ($50/mo) plans anytime to unlock more features and lower fees!

First Login: Set Up Stripe Connect

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!

Create AI Art

1. Click "Create" in the navigation to open Pixerr Studio (Artwork Creator for AI generation)
2. Choose an OpenAI image model for Pixerr AI from the sidebar (same list as in the Artwork Creator):
   • GPT Image 1 Mini — fastest, lowest token use; great for drafts and experiments
   • GPT Image 1 — balanced quality and cost for most artwork
   • GPT Image 1.5 — highest detail among the GPT Image options; best when you need extra fidelity
   • DALL·E 3 — alternative OpenAI image model; cost depends on settings (see estimate before Create)
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.

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 Pixerr Studio to rename the image, enable digital sales, or apply it to products just like any AI-generated asset.

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.

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

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

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.
