Show HN: PixelDojo – AI image and video generator with one-click LoRA training

Hello HN! I’m excited to share PixelDojo.ai, an all-in-one generative AI studio for creators. I built PixelDojo to be a one-stop platform where you can generate images, create short videos, and even train custom AI models (LoRA fine-tunes) from your own images. The idea came about because the AI creative process felt fragmented. 10 months ago I set off on a journey to create the ultimate AI playground. A place where cutting-edge image-generation tools are easily accessible.

My goal was to bring all the latest AI creativity tools under one roof so that anyone, even a “noob” with no prior knowledge could produce great results out-of-the-box.

Core Features

Multiple Image Models: PixelDojo integrates several state-of-the-art image generation models (like Flux and SDXL variants, plus even Google’s Imagen) in one web app.

You can create visuals from text prompts or by uploading an image for variations. The platform offers one-click access to 44+ AI tools spanning upscaling, style transfer, face enhancement, and even character consistency features. (Think Stable Diffusion, but with a choice of tuned models for photorealism, art styles, etc., and an easy UI.)

AI Video Generation: You can turn text or images into short AI-generated videos (think 5–10 second clips). Under the hood it uses multiple video models – for example, a “Kling” model for cinematic quality and a “Minimax (Hailuo)” model for lifelike motion.

In practice, this means you can type a prompt (or take an image you made) and animate it into a video within seconds on our cloud GPUs. No video editing skills or GPU hardware needed. It’s still early for AI video tech, but it’s exciting to play with and improve.

Custom Model Training (LoRA): This might be my favorite feature. PixelDojo lets you train your own Stable Diffusion-based model on your images with a few clicks. Upload, say, 5–10 photos of a person or product, and it will fine-tune a LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) model that captures their likeness/style. We even support single-image training for quick experiments.

Creative Tools & Community: Beyond the big features above, there are a bunch of handy tools: AI upscalers, background removers, pose control, style remixing, etc. The idea is to cover the whole creation workflow. We also have a community gallery and leaderboards so creators can share and discover cool results. The platform is uncensored (within legal limits) to give artists full creative freedom.

And for developers/hackers, we provide an API + Zapier integration (and you can import your PixelDojo models into external apps or pipelines).

Why use this? For many, it comes down to convenience and cost: Instead of juggling multiple AI notebooks or paying for several separate tools, PixelDojo’s single subscription gives access to everything in one place.

Content creators and small businesses have been using it to spin up marketing graphics, concept art, and social media content extremely fast – some report cutting design costs by 80% by doing work in-house with these AI tools.

Of course, it’s not a silver bullet and human creativity is still key, but it can handle a lot of tedious production work (and it’s pretty fun to experiment with new models as they come out). The project is bootstrapped and very much a labor of love.

My hope is that PixelDojo can empower fellow creators and builders here to prototype ideas or just make awesome art/videos without barriers.

I’d love to get the community’s feedback, questions, or ideas!
