Pykaso.ai, now branded Pyksel, is an AI UGC generator that trains a consistent AI character, then makes images and videos with it. The service closes on 30 September 2026.
About Pykaso.ai
What Is Pykaso.ai
Pykaso.ai started as an AI influencer generator for creators who wanted a virtual face they could post as their own. You train an AI character on a set of photos, and it stays the same person across every image and video you generate. That consistency is the point. Most image tools give you a new, unrelated face every time you type a prompt, which is useless if you need a recognizable brand ambassador or an influencer persona.
The company was acquired by Pyksel, and pykaso.ai now redirects to the Pyksel site. The product kept the same core idea: pick one of the pre-built AI actors or train your own, then generate UGC-style ads, social posts, and short videos in batches.
The catch is timing. Pyksel is winding down and will close on 30 September 2026. The site tells users to download their characters and spend any remaining Gems, which still work on every tool but can no longer be bought. Anyone weighing it up for a long campaign should look elsewhere, while existing users should export their work before the closing date.
Getting Started
- Create an account at pyksel.ai or launch the web app, then buy a Gem pack to unlock generation
- Pick a pre-built AI actor from the library, or upload photos and train your own character to lock in a consistent face
- Describe the shot you want and generate AI images or video, using image-to-image to place your character into a reference scene
- Clean up the result with the image editor, skin enhancer, or face swap, then export it without a watermark

Key features
AI Character Training
This is the feature everything else hangs on. You feed the system a set of photos of a face, and it trains a model that recreates that same person on demand. Once trained, that character becomes reusable. You can put them in a new outfit, a new location, or a new video without them suddenly looking like a stranger. There is a cost side to it, since each training slot ties to a Gem pack.
Pre-Built AI UGC Actor Library
If you do not want to train anything from scratch, Pyksel ships a library of ready-made AI actors. You pick one and start generating. It is the faster route for agencies that need to get a campaign moving this week rather than next, and it removes the photo-gathering step that trips up a first training run.
Asynchronous Batch Generation
Pykaso's tools run async, which means you can queue up hundreds of generations at once instead of waiting for one image to finish before starting the next. For ad testing, that changes the workflow. You generate a wide spread of options in one pass and pick from the results, rather than guessing what to make next. The site frames this as no queuing, so your batch keeps moving in the background.
AI Image and Video Generation
The image generator works from text or from an existing image, drawing on models like Flux and SDXL, and the video side turns prompts or source images into short clips. Both feed into the same character system, so your trained face carries through. It covers the basic spread a UGC creator needs: stills for a feed and motion for a reel.
Image Editing and Skin Enhancer
Once a render exists, the editing tools take over. You can make prompt-based edits, swap a face, run an image through a style, or push it through the Skin Enhancer, which adds resolution and a more natural skin texture. That last step matters for anything heading into a paid ad, where a soft, plasticky face reads as fake.
Image to Prompt
This one works backwards. Instead of a text prompt becoming an image, an image becomes a text prompt. If you like the look of a reference photo, you can pull a prompt out of it, then reuse and adjust that prompt with your own character. It is a small feature but a handy one when you are matching a style.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Character consistency carries the same face across images, videos, and edits, which is what a brand ambassador actually needs
- Async generation lets you test hundreds of ad variations in parallel rather than one at a time
- Pre-built AI actors mean you can skip training if you just want to start generating
- One workspace covers generation, editing, upscaling, face swap, and prompt extraction
- Gem packs scale down in cost per Gem as you buy larger, from $6 entry packs up to $240
Cons
- There is no free tier, so every image or video needs purchased Gems before you can try the tools
- The service is closing on 30 September 2026, so it is not a long-term pick for new campaigns
- The pykaso.ai address redirects to pyksel.ai, which can confuse anyone who knew the old brand
- No public API, so you cannot wire the generator into your own tools or automations
