What is PixAI, and what kind of pictures can you make?

It is a browser-based image generation service used by people who want to make anime pictures.

PixAI is a service where you log in from the browser and make anime-style illustrations from text (a prompt). A feature of it is that you can change the art style by choosing a model or LoRA, and it is often used for character illustrations, standing pictures and icons. What is free, the terms of models and feature names can change with the service and the time, so check the official guide.

What you want to make	Good method	Note
A standing picture of a character	Decide the model and make it with a full-body composition	A simple background makes it less likely to break
A social media icon	Make a square close-up of the face	Leave a little empty space above the head
A background picture	Make a landscape with no people	Use no humans and scenery
A series of pictures	Keep using the same model and the same words	Keep a note of the words you used

What are the steps for making your first picture?

Steps for making your first picture in PixAI

Create an account on the official site and read the terms of service
Open the image generation screen and choose one model for anime pictures
Write a short prompt (1girl, solo, smile, school uniform and so on)
Choose a size such as vertical or square and make one image first
Add just one thing to the prompt for what differs from the picture you wanted, and make it again
Save the picture you like and keep a note of the prompt you used

1girl, solo, medium hair, blue eyes, white blouse, smile, looking at viewer, school rooftop, blue sky, upper body

1girl, solo, long hair, red ribbon, winter coat, scarf, snow, night, street lamp, upper body

How do you write the prompt?

List tags in the order of number of people, appearance, clothes, expression and pose, place and light, starting short and adding a little at a time.

With anime-style models, a common way is to line up English tags called Danbooru tags, separated by commas. For content you think of in your own language, it is easier to turn it into English tags with this site's prompt translation tool and then paste them in. If the model page has a trigger word or a recommended way of writing, try copying that first.

Rinka's tips

About ten tags are enough for the first picture. Add only what is missing afterward
Do not stack tags with the same meaning (such as putting both smile and smiling)
Limit emphasis to one tag

How do you choose models and LoRAs?

Choose by whether the sample pictures are close to the art style you want, whether the terms of use have rules about commercial use or redistribution, and whether the type matches.

Look at the art style of the sample pictures and choose one close to the picture you want to make
Read the terms of use in the model description (commercial use, redistribution, credit and so on)
Choose a LoRA of the same type as the model you use
When making all-ages pictures, choose ones whose description and samples are for all ages

What if it does not work well? (Common failures and fixes)

The main causes are a prompt that is too long, forgetting a model's trigger word, and a mismatch between the types of LoRA and model.

Failure	Cause	Fix
The art style is not the one you wanted	The model does not fit	Switch to a model whose sample pictures are close
Hands or the face break	It is a full-body picture and the face is small	Make it an upper-body picture, or use a composition with a larger face
The LoRA has no effect	The type differs from the model	Switch to a LoRA of the same type
The color is not the one you wanted	The color word is far away	Write "color plus part" next to each other (pink hair and so on)
The free amount is not enough	The size or number of images is large	Check the free range in the official guide and decide a number to try
