What Is Pixiv?
Pixiv is an online creative community focused on illustrations, manga, and novels. The user can view and save artworks, follow artists, and even upload their own illustrations, manga, and novels to the community.
The most important characteristic of Pixiv is the creator-based discovery process. One can discover original characters, anime-style artworks, fan artworks, manga, and novels via keywords, tags, rankings, and recommendations. It is for that reason why it became particularly famous among illustrators, manga artists, and fans of anime and manga.
If you also create illustrations, designs, or edited images, you can use Adobe Creative Cloud from GamsGo for tools like Photoshop and Illustrator, then publish your finished work on Pixiv.
What Can You Do with Pixiv Premium?
Pixiv is free to use, but Pixiv Premium solves several common limits. It helps you find popular works more easily, removes ads, gives you access to more browsing history, and adds useful tools for creators who want better insight into their work and more control over posting.
Premium Feature | What It Does |
Search by Popularity | Sort illustrations, manga, and novels by popularity so you can quickly find well liked works for a specific tag or keyword. |
Ad Free Browsing | Hide ads on the Pixiv desktop site, mobile site, and official app for a cleaner experience when browsing illustrations and manga. |
Browsing History | Check works you viewed before. This is useful if you forgot to bookmark something or want to find a work you recently saw. |
Mute up to 500 | Premium members can mute up to 500 users or tags, helping reduce content you do not want to see in search results and rankings. |
Access Analytics | Creators can check views, traffic sources, and other data for their published works to see where visitors are coming from. |
Scheduled Posts | Schedule illustrations, manga, and novels up to one week in advance. You can have up to 10 scheduled posts at the same time. |
Replace Works | Premium members can replace uploaded illustrations and manga when corrections are needed, giving creators more control over published work. |
Follow Management | Organize followed users and My Pixiv users into groups. Premium also increases the number of recent works shown from followed users from 2,000 to 5,000. |
If you only visit Pixiv once in a while, the free plan may be enough. If you often search for specific characters, titles, or tags, Search by Popularity, Browsing History, and ad free browsing are some of the most useful Pixiv Premium benefits.
For creators, Premium is especially useful for Access Analytics, Scheduled Posts, and content management. If you also need to create covers, promo graphics, or social media images, you can use Canva Pro from GamsGo for simple visual design.
Pixiv Free vs. Pixiv Premium: What Is the Difference?
A free Pixiv account already lets you browse, bookmark, follow, and publish works, so Premium is not required to use Pixiv. Pixiv Premium is better for users who want faster search, fewer distractions while browsing, and more tools for managing published work.
Feature | Pixiv Free | Pixiv Premium |
Browse Works | Yes | Yes |
Publish Works | Yes | Yes, with more management tools |
Search by Popularity | No | Yes |
Ad Free Browsing | No | Yes |
Browsing History | Limited | Extended browsing history |
Mute | 1 item | Up to 500 items |
Scheduled Posts | No | Yes |
Access Analytics | No full analytics | Yes |
Official Price | Free | $4.15/month |
Pixiv raised some Premium subscription prices on February 12, 2026. The monthly browser price in Japan increased from ¥550 to ¥590. Prices for users paying in US dollars did not change and remain $4.15/month.
If you also watch licensed anime, you can get Crunchyroll Premium on GamsGo for anime streaming, while Pixiv gives you access to a large community built around artwork, manga, novels, and creators.
What Is the Difference Between Pixiv Premium, PixivFANBOX, and BOOTH?
Pixiv offers several services, but Pixiv Premium, PixivFANBOX, and BOOTH serve different purposes. Most importantly, buying Pixiv Premium does not automatically unlock paid content from creators on PixivFANBOX.
Service | Main Purpose | Best For |
Pixiv Premium | Improves search, browsing, and posting on Pixiv | Regular Pixiv users and creators |
PixivFANBOX | Support specific creators with monthly payments and access creator benefits based on their plans | Fans who want to support a favorite creator |
BOOTH | Online marketplace connected to Pixiv for creator products | Buying or selling digital works, fan made goods, and creator merchandise |
In short, choose Pixiv Premium if you want a better experience on Pixiv itself. If you want access to exclusive content from a specific creator, you need to support that creator through their FANBOX plan. If you want to buy digital or physical products from creators, BOOTH is the service to use.
