PixVerse adds CLI generation

PixVerse has released a command-line tool that lets users generate videos and images from a terminal instead of the web app. The company published the CLI guide on March 13, 2026, and described it as the official interface for PixVerse models and features. (pixverse.ai) The tool runs through Node.js 20 or newer and installs with `npm install -g pixverse`, with a no-install option through `npx`. PixVerse says login uses a browser-based device flow, stores a token locally in `~/.pixverse/`, and keeps that token valid for 30 days. (pixverse.ai) PixVerse says the CLI covers text-to-video, image-to-video, text-to-image, lip-sync speech, sound effects, and upscaling. Its GitHub release notes also list transition generation, video extension, reference-based video generation, task polling, asset downloads, and account usage commands. (pixverse.ai) (github.com) The command line is the text interface developers use to run scripts and chain tools together without opening a browser window. PixVerse says every CLI command returns structured JavaScript Object Notation, or JavaScript-style data that other programs can read reliably, along with fixed exit codes for automation. (pixverse.ai) PixVerse is pitching the release at developers and AI coding agents, not only individual creators using prompts by hand. The company’s March 31, 2026 product announcement said the CLI is meant to work in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenClaw, while a separate Skills repository teaches agents which flags, models, and workflows to use. (prnewswire.com) (github.com) That shifts PixVerse from a browser-first creation app toward software that can sit inside batch jobs, production pipelines, and agent loops. PixVerse said the CLI uses the same account and credit system as the website, and only subscribed users can generate content through it. (pixverse.ai) (github.com) The company is making the developer push alongside a broader expansion into team and studio tools. On March 31, PixVerse announced a Team Plan priced at $79 per seat per month and introduced “Mini Apps,” including an ad-making tool it said costs about $3 per video, or $2 for subscribers. (prnewswire.com) PixVerse’s public GitHub account shows two repositories tied to the launch: `cli` for the terminal tool and `skills` for reusable agent instructions. GitHub’s repository pages described both as updated within the past week, suggesting the company is still iterating quickly after the initial release. (github.com 1) (github.com 2) For users, the practical change is simple: media generation that used to require clicking through a website can now be called from a script. PixVerse is betting that videos, images, and audio features will be used more often when they behave like other developer tools — one command, one response, and no browser tab.
