The BudgetPixel API lets you generate images, video, music, and sound effects from your own applications using the same models available on budgetpixel.com — one key, one credit balance, one set of conventions across every modality.

Start building today

Create a key, make your first generation, and poll it to completion in about five minutes.

What you can build

Image generation

Text-to-image, editing, and multi-reference generation across Seedream, Flux, Qwen, GPT Image, and more.

Video generation

Text-to-video, image-to-video with start and end frames, reference-driven video, and video-to-video editing.

Music

Full songs from a prompt or your own lyrics, instrumentals, and exact-length background beds.

Sound effects

Foley, ambience, impacts, and transitions — or effects synced frame-accurately to a video’s events.

Upscaling

Images to 32 MP in seconds, and video to 1080p or 4K with Topaz Labs.

Motion control

Drive a character’s motion from a reference performance.

Lip sync

Match a speaker’s mouth to any audio track.

Moderation & classification

Rate content for NSFW level, screen for CSAM, and classify a track’s musical genre.

How it works

API keys

Authenticate every request with a bearer API key created from your dashboard.

Async jobs

Create a generation job, then poll it until it succeeds. Results return as URLs.

Credit pricing

Usage is metered in credits at each model’s published price. You pay only for successful generations.

Models

Discover available image, video, music, and sound-effect models and their pricing at runtime.

Availability

The developer API is currently in private beta. Access is limited while we finalize the launch. If you have beta access on any paid plan — Starter, Basic, Premium, Pro or Ultra — you can create a key from your BudgetPixel account dashboard, then follow the quickstart.

Not building an app?

If you want AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor to create with your BudgetPixel account directly from a conversation — no code, no API keys — use the MCP server instead. Same models, same credits, OAuth sign-in.
