Why pay premium prices when you don't need premium images?

The same volume of images, priced against OpenAI's standard rate. Do the math in seconds.

Built for high volume

Images that do the job.

Without the premium generation cost.

For most publishing — news articles, blogs, SEO pages, directory listings, social posts, thumbnails, product-category pages — you do not need cinematic detail. You need an image that is relevant, acceptable, fast, and extremely cheap. That is exactly what PixelFireman is built for.

News & blogsAn article image on every post, generated in seconds.
SEO & content pagesUnique, relevant visuals at the scale programmatic SEO needs.
Directories & listingsA fitting image for every listing, category and location.
Social & feedsThumbnails and post images for high-frequency publishing.
Affiliate & e-commerceCategory and roundup imagery without a stock-photo bill.
CMS & AI content toolsDrop-in image generation for platforms that produce content at scale.
No cinematic quality. No expensive model. Just the image your content needs.

Who it is for

The biggest opportunity is not consumers. It is publishers, automated SEO systems, news aggregators, directories, affiliate sites, social networks, CMS platforms and AI content-generation companies — anyone who needs hundreds of thousands of good-enough images and cannot justify premium per-image pricing.

How it works

Three steps to live.

1

Buy credits

Create an account and buy a credit pack with PayPal. One-time, no subscription, credits never expire.

2

Copy your key

Your personal pf_live_… API key appears in your dashboard. One key, ready to use.

3

Call the API

POST a prompt to /v1/images with your key. Get an image URL back. Credits scale with size — a 1024×1024 image is 1 credit.

Why teams switch

Built to drop in.

One endpoint

Standard REST + Bearer auth. Works with any HTTP client or AI agent in minutes.

Credits never expire

Prepaid, pay-as-you-go. No monthly lock-in — top up when you run low.

Moderation built in

Every prompt is screened. No real public figures, no unsafe content — safe by default.

Yours to use

Commercial rights on everything you generate. Photo and vector output.

Video API

AI video, for pennies a clip.

The same one-call API. Send a prompt, get a short clip. Pay in video minutes — no subscription.

Economy
$0.30 / clip
30 minutes · ~5s

Fastest and cheapest. Great for drafts and volume.

Standard
$0.60 / clip
60 minutes · ~5s

Sharper motion and detail. The everyday pick.

Premium
$1.50 / clip
150 minutes · ~5s

Top quality (Kling). Slower to render.

POST /v1/videos
# one call, a clip back
curl https://pixelfireman.com/v1/videos \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pf_live_…" \
  -d '{"prompt":"ocean waves at sunset",
       "tier":"economy"}'

#     "minutesUsed":30 }

Buy video minutes once — $5 = 500 · $20 = 2,000 · $50 = 5,500 · $100 = 12,000. Minutes are wallet credits ($0.01 each) and never expire. Full spec in the video docs.
