Hey Product Hunt!

Now that the core engine for PixelDrive is live and the API is humming along nicely, I'm looking closely at our immediate product roadmap. Instead of guessing, I want to build exactly what you need to scale your visual automation workflows.

To give you a quick recap of what's under the hood right now:

• 19ms Global Edge Caching: Identical requests completely bypass compute, serving images instantly at exactly 0 credit cost.

• Hosted MCP Server (26 Tools): Built natively so AI agents (like Claude or Cursor) can programmatically spin up templates, read layers, and autonomously nudge layout coordinates to fix text wrapping.

• Vector Layout Engine: No heavy, slow headless browsers (Puppeteer/Playwright).

Hey Product Hunt community!

I m Rutvik, the founder behind PixelDrive. We just officially hit the launch stage today!

The motivation behind building PixelDrive came from a massive headache I faced constantly as a developer: the traditional pricing and architectural model of image generation APIs. Most platforms track every layout tweak, visual preview, or identical repeat asset request as a premium billable event. If you need to hotlink dynamic renders inside mass email campaigns or use them for high-traffic open-graph (`og:image`) tags, the costs run wild.

We wanted to change the paradigm by treating image generation like a modern, programmatic printing press built explicitly for developers and the AI era.

Hey PH community

Tomorrow we're launching PixelDrive

PixelDrive lets you generate images programmatically from editable design templates using a simple API.

The idea came from a problem we kept running into ourselves. Every time we needed to create product images, social media graphics, certificates, personalized creatives, or other visual assets at scale, we ended up maintaining fragile Puppeteer scripts or paying for tools that felt either too limiting or too expensive.
