# Quickstart

> From sign-up to your first generation in about five minutes

This walks you through your first generation, then shows you where it went.

## 1. Create your account

Go to [beta.pixio.myapps.ai](https://beta.pixio.myapps.ai) and sign up with email or a social provider. New accounts start with **50 free credits that never expire**.

<Tip>
  50 credits is real working budget if you start with an image model — many cost only a handful of credits per run. Video costs considerably more, so learn the controls on images first.
</Tip>

## 2. Open Generate

Open **Generate** from the top navigation. You’ll see three panels:

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card icon="sliders" title="Left — controls">
    Choose your model and fill in its inputs.
  </Card>

  <Card icon="image" title="Center — preview">
    The current result, at full size.
  </Card>

  <Card icon="clock-rotate-left" title="Right — history">
    Everything you've generated, newest first.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## 3. Pick a model

In the left panel, browse or search the model list. Models are grouped by the family that makes them and labelled with what they do — text-to-image, image-to-video, and so on — plus the credit cost per run.

Start with a **text-to-image** model. Tap the star on any model to favorite it so it stays at the top of your list.

<Info>
  Some models are limited to certain plans. Anything your plan can't run is marked in the list, and [upgrading](/credits) unlocks it.
</Info>

## 4. Write your prompt and generate

Fill in the prompt and any other inputs the model exposes — dimensions, aspect ratio, style, seed. Every input has a tooltip explaining what it does.

Then hit generate. The run appears immediately in the right column as **processing**, and the credit cost is shown up front.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Processing">
    The job is queued and running. You can keep working — leaving the page doesn't cancel it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Succeeded">
    The result appears in the preview and in your history.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Failed">
    If a run fails, you aren't charged for it. Try again or adjust your inputs.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 5. Do something with the result

Hover a finished item in the right column and you get **chained actions** — one click sends that output straight into the next model, no re-uploading:

* **Regenerate** with the same prompt and inputs
* **Create Video** from a still image
* **Next Frame** to continue a sequence
* **Upscale** or **Image Upscale** for more resolution
* **Remove BG** to cut out the background
* **Add Lipsync** or **Generate Voice**
* **Create 3D Model** from an image
* **Photo Restoration** or **Edit Image**

Video results get their own set — **Upscale Video**, **Caption Video**, **Lipsync Video**, **Edit Video**, **Remove BG**.

<Tip>
  Chaining is the fastest way to work: generate a cheap image first, then push the one you like into an expensive video model. Much cheaper than generating video after video.
</Tip>

## 6. Find it later

| Where | What's there |
| - | - |
| **My Assets** | Every generation and every file you've uploaded. |
| **Prompt History** | Every prompt you've used, by category, ready to reuse. |
| **Boards** | Generations you've organized into a project. |

You can also **download** any result, or **publish** it to the public gallery — and unpublish it later.
