PIXTA ends sales of AI-generated content: “What buyers want are works made by human hands”

PIXTA said on May 22 it will stop selling AI-generated photos, illustrations, videos, and music after already ending new submissions on April 20.

The company cited a surge in AI uploads and rising prices, saying the offering no longer matched customer demand.

Limited AI-assisted edits to original creator works will still be allowed under PIXTA’s guidelines.

The move suggests stock-media buyers may prefer human-made content over mass-produced AI output.
