Generation Panel: AI Image Variations & Upscaling Tools
The Generation Panel houses PixAI’s quick AI-powered fixes — perfect when you need to test variations or boost image quality without manual masking.
AI Image Variations: Generate Different Versions of Your Image
Got an image you love but want to tweak it slightly? Click Variations, and PixAI’s AI will generate three fresh takes on your original — different angles, slightly altered details, or new color tones, all while keeping the core subject intact.
✅ Best for: Testing different styles without starting from scratch.
Upscale — AI Image Upscaling for Sharper Details
Think of this as giving your image a pair of glasses — PixAI’s AI image upscaler makes everything clearer without altering details.
🔹 Key Settings:
- Upscaler — Different AI upscaling models handle sharpening differently.
- Upscale Ratio — Higher ratios improve resolution.
💡 Pro Tip: You can enhance any image—not just AI-generated ones! Got a photo or artwork you want to improve?
Just upload your file via the Image Upscaler feature. It’s that simple to turn your blurry images into crisp, clean masterpieces!
HiRes — High-Resolution AI Image Generation
Want ultra-sharp results from the start? Enable HiRes during generation for high-resolution AI image output baked in from the first pass.
⚠️ Important Notes:
- No batch generation — One masterpiece at a time.
- Re-enable if you change dimensions — Otherwise, it won’t apply.

AI Inpainting: Fix Errors, Remove Objects & Add Details
🎨 Pro Tip: Precision matters! Take time to mask exactly what you want to change.
For super precise edits, AI inpainting lets you modify specific areas while leaving the rest of the image untouched. Here’s what you can do with PixAI’s AI inpainting tool:
Use Case 1: Change Features with AI Inpainting
Example 1: Adjusting a Character’s Expression
- Use the Inpaint brush to mask the mouth.
- Type “parted lips” in the prompt.
- The AI updates only the selected area.
Example 2: Changing Eye Color
- Use the color picker to sample a reference shade(if you’d like to reference the color!).
- Mask the iris completely (missing spots = inconsistencies).
- Prompt: “yellow eyes” (or your chosen color).
Use Case 2: Remove Unwanted Elements with AI Inpainting
Removing Watermarks
- Mask only the watermark.
- Instead of “remove watermark”, describe what should be there (e.g., “white floor”).
Deleting Extra Limbs or Fingers
- Mask the glitched area.
- Prompt something context-aware (e.g., “teddy bear” might replace a stray hand with a toy).
AI Outpainting: Expand Your Image Canvas Beyond the Frame
Want to reveal more of a character’s outfit or the background scene? AI outpainting intelligently extends your image beyond its original borders, generating seamless new content based on your prompt.

How to Use AI Outpainting on PixAI:
- The AI blends the outpainted content seamlessly with the original image.
- Click Outpaint and drag the edges to expand the canvas.
- Describe what should appear in the new space (e.g., “black dress” for a portrait extension).
🖼 Best Practices for AI Outpainting:
- Extend one edge at a time for better control over the outpainting result.
- Think: “What would logically be here?” to guide your outpainting prompts.
