Why through Photolyx
The same models, simpler access
Every model lives with its own provider: a separate account, an API key, a separate invoice and a different interface. Photolyx takes all of that away.
No subscription
You buy a pack of lyx and spend it on generations. Unused lyx never expire, and there is no monthly fee.
One balance for every model
Lyx works with any model. The price of a specific generation is shown before you start, and a provider error is refunded.
Compare in one click
Run the same prompt on several models and pick the best frame — the results sit side by side in your history.
Straight to work, not to a chat
The result goes to a marketplace listing, to social media or into the layer editor — no downloading and re-uploading.
API and MCP
The same models from your own code: keys, a task queue and webhooks. The MCP server connects generation to an AI assistant.
