# Pixc

> Pixc is an ecommerce enablement company that automates the visual busywork of running an
> online store. It ships five Shopify apps (photo resizing and AI framing, AI image editing,
> AI-generated alt text for SEO, AI lifestyle imagery, and visual merchandising of
> collections), runs a professional bulk product photo-editing service billed in prepaid
> image credits, and exposes a public REST API — the Pixc Public API — that lets a store or
> marketplace submit photos for optimization programmatically against reusable templates.
> Founded 2014, backed by 500 Global.

GENERATED by the API Evangelist enrichment pipeline on 2026-08-13. Pixc publishes no
llms.txt of its own (https://pixc.com/llms.txt and https://dashboard.pixc.com/llms.txt both
404), so this file is written from the provider's own published Swagger document and docs.

## The API in one paragraph

Base URL `https://dashboard.pixc.com/v1`. Authenticate with
`Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN`, where the token comes from Account Settings > API
Access in the Pixc Dashboard. Three resources: **templates** (your photo standard —
background, border, shadow, output types, aspect sizes), **orders** (a batch of photo URLs
submitted against one template), and **webhooks** (callbacks when an order is created, its
status changes, or a download is generated). Create a template, POST an order with your
file URLs, then either wait for the `download_generated` webhook or poll
`GET /api/order/{orderId}/download`. Optimized photos come back within 24 hours as a .zip
or a list of URLs. Add the header `test: true` to any call to validate a payload without
spending image credits.

## What Pixc does not publish

An agent should not look for these — they were probed on 2026-08-13 and do not exist:
no MCP server, no A2A agent card, no `/.well-known/` documents, no OpenAPI 3.x (the source
is Swagger 2.0), no AsyncAPI, no status page (`status.pixc.com` is a DNS wildcard returning
the literal string "OK"), no changelog, no versioning or deprecation policy, no published
rate limits or rate-limit response headers, no idempotency contract, no error-code
reference, no trust centre or compliance certifications, no Postman collection, no CLI.
