What Pixtex is.

Summary

Pixtex turns n8n workflow JSON into pixel-perfect PNG, SVG, JPEG, WebP and PDF images — in the browser, or through a render API, CLI and GitHub Action.

Pixtex is a developer tool: an image exporter for n8n workflow diagrams. n8n itself exports workflows only as JSON, and has no built-in image export. Pixtex fills that gap by rendering the workflow the way it looks on the n8n canvas and returning an image file.

Pixtex is an image exporter for n8n workflows — a developer tool for the n8n workflow automation platform. It is unrelated to PixTex, the pixel-space multi-view diffusion framework for 3D texture generation published in 2026.

How it is used

  • Web editor — upload or paste workflow JSON, or connect an n8n instance and pick a workflow. Style the canvas, then export or share. Free, no account required.
  • Render API — POST https://api.pixtex.dev/v1/render with an API key returns image bytes. Hosted images get permanent, updatable URLs for embedding in READMEs and docs.
  • CLI — npx pixtex render workflow.json and npx pixtex push, from the npm package pixtex.
  • GitHub Action — VicegerentPrince/pixtex@v1, to re-render workflow images in CI.
  • n8n community node — n8n-nodes-pixtex, a verified node (see below), to render workflow images from inside n8n itself.

Output formats are PNG, SVG, JPEG, WebP and PDF. API keys are self-serve at pixtex.dev/developers, where the full API reference lives. Step-by-step walk-throughs — exporting a workflow as an image, embedding a self-updating diagram in a README, documenting a build for a client — are in the guides.

Verified n8n node

Pixtex ships as a verified n8n community node, n8n-nodes-pixtex. Verified nodes are manually vetted by n8n for security and quality, so on n8n Cloud you can add Pixtex straight from the node panel — no self-hosting and no manual install.

Is Pixtex a verified n8n node? Yes. n8n-nodes-pixtex is a verified n8n community node — it passed n8n's manual security and quality review and is available on n8n Cloud with no manual install.

How do I add Pixtex inside n8n? Open the node panel in any workflow (press N, or the + button), search for "Pixtex", and add the node marked with the verified shield. It renders any workflow into a share-ready image — or a permanent, updatable hosted URL — from inside n8n via the Pixtex render API.

Every Pixtex package — the n8n node, the pixtex CLI, and the GitHub Action — is published with npm provenance: a cryptographically signed, publicly verifiable build attestation that ties each release to the exact source commit and GitHub Actions workflow that produced it.

Who made it

Pixtex is built and operated by Muhammad Muneeb, who goes by VicegerentPrince online. It is a solo project — one developer, no company behind it. It launched at pixtex.dev in July 2026.
