About Pixley AI

Pixley turns kids' drawings and ideas into fully animated cartoons – in minutes.

Kids are natural storytellers. With Pixley, any kid can draw a character, describe a world, and watch their story come to life as a personalized animated cartoon.

Most kids' screen time is broken: passive, algorithmic content designed to keep kids watching, not growing. Pixley is the antidote. Every episode is safe, ad-free, and built around Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). Parents can choose any lesson they want to teach their child, and Pixley weaves it naturally into the story their kids create. We're building the creative platform for the next generation – where kids are the directors, not just the audience.

Additionally, the same technology powers Pixley Studios, our B2B content service for brands and content creators who want to produce high-quality AI video without the cost or time of traditional production.

We’re 19 year old CS dropouts who’ve known each other since elementary school and won 4 hackathons at 15. After seeing AI flood the internet with low-quality content, we created Pixley – a safe, personalized way for kids to turn their ideas into animated stories.
