The first time you open Pixio you’re walked through a short setup that picks which AI model runs when you use each quick action. It’s the only setting that changes how the rest of the app behaves, which is why it comes first.

​
The wizard

Four steps, all skippable: You can skip this step, use default on any single item, or skip onboarding entirely. Skipping isn’t a penalty — Pixio ships sensible recommended defaults, and nothing is locked in.
Nothing here is permanent. Every choice is editable later in your profile settings.

​
What a quick-action default actually controls

Chained actions — Create Video, Upscale, Remove BG, Add Lipsync, Create 3D Model and the rest — run a model without asking you which one. The default you set here is the model each of those uses. That’s the practical payoff: one click does the thing with your preferred model instead of a generic one.

​
Changing them later

Settings → Quick-action defaults — “Choose which AI model runs when you use each quick action on the generate page.” Worth revisiting when:
  • You’ve found a model you prefer for a specific job
  • A new model lands that’s better or cheaper than your current pick
  • Your plan changed and better models became available
  • A default is costing more than you want per click
Check your defaults after upgrading a plan. Onboarding picks from what your plan could reach at the time — an upgrade doesn’t retroactively improve your defaults.

​
Costs

A quick action costs the same as running that model in Generate. The default doesn’t change the price — it changes which price you pay per click. If a chained action feels expensive, the default behind it is the thing to change.
