We just launched an API & MCP-first image press. Ask us anything!

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.

We approached the engineering with a few core principles:

1. The LLM should be the designer: We built a hosted 26-tool Model Context Protocol (MCP) server natively into the engine. This lets AI agents (like Claude or Cursor) programmatically spin up templates, read existing element layers, and nudge coordinate values to fix text overflows autonomously.

2. Identical requests should be free: If your API parameters match an asset already rendered, it pulls instantly from our global edge cache in 19ms at exactly 0 credit cost. Go ahead and hotlink it.

3. No translation glue-code: You can localize graphics on the fly across 70+ languages just by appending a simple `?lang=` parameter to your request.

We are hanging out on our launch page all day giving away 1,000 free credits to anyone who wants to play around with the engine and test the API.

I would love to hear from fellow builders, SaaS founders, and AI engineers:

* What does your current image automation pipeline look like?

* Are you running custom headless browser setups, or have you integrated MCP tools into your asset workflows yet?
