Digi5 Studios delivers the same studio-quality retouching as Pixelz - from just $0.20 per image, with a 24-hour turnaround, no monthly subscription, and 17+ years of proven results for 100+ global brands.
Why brands choose this Pixelz alternative
Pixelz built a great product - but their subscription model and enterprise pricing leave growing brands and photo studios paying for capacity they don't use. Digi5 Studios gives you the same studio-quality output with a model that actually scales with your business.
Transparent pricing
No hidden tiers. No credit expiry. No "talk to sales" for a basic quote. Here's exactly what our services cost, side by side.
1,000 images/month on their $95 plan = ~$0.095/image in credits - but you must pay $95 whether you use them or not.

What our clients say
"Phenomenal service and fantastic work
Phenomenal service and fantastic work - what more would anyone want? I will be using them more and more and suggest you give them a try"
"Manoj and his team have been beautifully retouching my portraits & photos for years. They can do anything. The work is precisely what I ask for, though I am precise with screenshots, so they know exactly what I want. They deliver a great job with a fast turnaround. Manoj and Deepti are always a pleasure to correspond with. I highly recommend Digi5studio."
