🎬 What is Pixel Pig?

Pixel Pig is a standalone desktop app for Windows and macOS that helps you generate, organise, and manage AI-generated assets through a consistent workflow — no matter which API provider you use.

It supports multiple API aggregators including Fal, Replicate, and Kie.ai, with more added based on community interest.
Early support is also available for connecting to local ComfyUI instances for text-to-image batching and remote connections.

Pixel Pig supports a wide range of AI workflows for creating and editing images, videos, voice, sound effects, lip-sync, and 3D assets.

Models that rank highly on public leaderboards are included out of the box, and community model mappings are supported so you can extend what’s available.

Simple batch operations — run multiple models and aspect ratios in just a few clicks
No manual uploads or downloads — everything’s handled automatically
Built-in tools for file viewing, frame extraction, cropping, colour adjustment, format conversion, and batch management
Flexible Prompt Builder — customise categories of snippets, save favourites, and tag prompts for quick access

🤖 MCP for Local AI Clients

Pixel Pig releases include a bundled MCP server for local AI tools such as Codex, Claude Code, and other MCP-compatible clients.

If Pixel Pig is already running, connect to http://127.0.0.1:7361/mcp
If your AI client prefers stdio, launch:
- macOS: /Applications/PixelPig.app/Contents/Resources/app/PixelPig.McpServer --stdio
- Windows: C:\Path\To\PixelPig\PixelPig.McpServer.exe --stdio
The app normally starts and stops the MCP sidecar automatically, so manual launch is only needed when your AI client wants to start the server itself.

Detailed setup and troubleshooting: MCP-SETUP.md

🎬 Pixel Pig Agent Skills

Pixel Pig includes Cinema Director for people using Codex, Claude Code and other tools that support SKILL.md.

/pixelpig-cinema-director is installed and kept current automatically when you open Pixel Pig. It turns a plain-language idea into an approved visual plan, then guides image, video, dialogue, sound, rough-cut, retake, and delivery work through Pixel Pig MCP.
/hyperframes-pixelpig is optional. It prepares a Pixel Pig movie/project for the current HyperFrames workflow, preserves linked project media, verifies the finished render, and attaches it back to Pixel Pig.

Add the HyperFrames bridge only if you use HyperFrames:

npx skills add addr010/pixel-pig-releases --skill hyperframes-pixelpig

HyperFrames has its own skills for composition, animation, media preparation, validation, preview, and rendering. Its mandatory hyperframes entrypoint installs or refreshes the skills required for a particular composition.

Example prompts:

Use Pixel Pig Cinema Director to help me turn this idea into a short cinematic scene. Plan it with me before generating anything.

Using /hyperframes-pixelpig, begin a HyperFrames composition from my Pixel Pig movie, preview it for approval, then attach the verified finished render back to the movie.

The Pixel Pig skills need the Pixel Pig MCP server. The easy path is to open Pixel Pig and connect to http://127.0.0.1:7361/mcp; stdio clients can launch PixelPig.McpServer --stdio without keeping the app open. See MCP-SETUP.md.

🔧 FFmpeg

Pixel Pig now bundles FFmpeg for audio and video combine features. You should not need to install FFmpeg separately.

If the media combine tools do not appear in the app, please restart Pixel Pig and open an issue with your operating system and app version.

🎯 Known Issues & Roadmap

Known issues

The macOS version currently receives more pre-release testing than the Windows build.

What’s next

Custom workflow presets — save and share
Pipelines — chain workflows for complex runs in one go

Nightly builds can be made available if there’s interest.

Thanks for giving Pixel Pig a go — I hope it earns a place in your toolkit.
