Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Pixicular

What is Pixicular?

Pixicular is an AI-powered image analysis API that lets developers extract structured data from photos — including age estimation, object labels, facial emotions, content moderation flags, and text (OCR) — all via a single REST endpoint.

What image analysis services does Pixicular offer?

Pixicular currently offers five live services: detect-age (age range estimation from faces), detect-labels (object and scene detection), detect-face-emotions (facial emotion recognition), detect-moderation (content moderation and NSFW detection), and detect-text (OCR / text extraction). AI-generated image detection is coming soon.

How do I integrate Pixicular into my application?

Send a POST request to https://api.pixicular.com/v1/detect with your API key in the Authorization header and the image file (or URL) in the request body. Specify which services you want (e.g. services=detect-age,detect-labels) and receive a structured JSON response in seconds. Full code examples are in our documentation.

What programming languages does the Pixicular API support?

The Pixicular API is a standard REST API that works with any language or framework that can make HTTP requests — including Python, JavaScript/Node.js, Ruby, PHP, Go, Java, and more. No SDK is required.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Pixicular's Developer plan includes a 14-day free trial with 100 AI service operations. No credit card is required to sign up and start testing.

What image formats and sizes are supported?

Pixicular supports JPEG (.jpg/.jpeg), PNG (.png), WebP (.webp), AVIF (.avif), and TIFF (.tiff/.tif) image files up to 10 MB. Images larger than 4 MB are automatically compressed client-side before upload to stay within API limits.

Is my image data stored or shared after analysis?

Images are processed securely over HTTPS and are not retained beyond your request. Your data stays private and is never shared with third parties.

How fast is the Pixicular API?

Most single-service requests complete in under a second. Response time increases with the number of services requested in one call — combining five services in a single request will take longer than calling just one.

How much does Pixicular cost?

Pixicular offers four plans: Developer (free trial, 100 ops/month), Launch ($25/month, 1,000 ops), Scale ($99/month, 10,000 ops), and Business ($299/month, 100,000 ops). See pixicular.com/pricing for full details.

What use cases is Pixicular designed for?

Pixicular is designed for developers building content moderation pipelines, age-gating features on sensitive platforms, automatic image tagging for media libraries, document and receipt OCR, and emotional analysis for user research or social media tools.
