Set up Venice AI for VeloPixels

VeloPixels edits your photos with Venice AI using your own account. This takes about 5 minutes and you only need to do it once.

  • About 5 minutes
  • $10 minimum top-up
  • Credits never expire

What is Venice AI?

Venice AI is the AI service that does the actual photo editing. You pay Venice directly for what you use, so VeloPixels never adds a markup.

3Create an API key

Create a new API key and give it a name you will recognize, like VeloPixels. A regular key is all you need; you do not need an admin key. Copy the key.

Troubleshooting

VeloPixels says “Venice API returned 401”
The key is wrong or was deleted. Create a new key in Venice and paste it again.
The model list is empty
Save your key first, then click Refresh next to the model list. In the desktop app, Save & Test saves and checks the key in one step.
Edits stopped working
Your Venice credits may have run out. Check your balance in VeloPixels Settings (it updates after each edit) and add credits in Venice if needed.
