What do the PixelPanda Connect Packages for Fiery JobFlow do?

Four free packages: Remove Background (AI) returns a transparent PNG cutout; Upscale Image (AI) enlarges images 2x, 4x or 8x with Real-ESRGAN; Remove Text (AI) wipes stamps and overlays with AI inpainting; Enhance Photo (AI) sharpens, de-noises and fixes lighting. Each runs as a Connect module step inside any JobFlow workflow.

Which Fiery JobFlow version do I need?

The paid Fiery JobFlow version 2.3 or newer — importing custom script packages is not available in the free JobFlow Base. The packages use PowerShell, which is built into every supported Windows version, so nothing else needs to be installed.

How do I install a Connect Package?

In Fiery JobFlow open Admin, then Resources, and import the downloaded zip. JobFlow copies the resources and the module appears in the Connect Package dropdown of the Connect module.

How do I get my PixelPanda API key?

Create an account at pixelpanda.ai, open your Profile and copy the key under API Token (it starts with pk_live_). Paste it into the API Key parameter of the Connect module.

Does this send my files to the cloud?

Yes — the job file is uploaded over HTTPS to the PixelPanda API for processing and the result is written back into the workflow. Files are processed transiently; results are returned to your JobFlow server.

Do you support other print automation platforms?

Yes — PixelPanda also publishes free apps on the Enfocus Switch Appstore, and offers Zapier, Make and n8n integrations plus a REST API for anything else.

Print-Ready Images Without Leaving JobFlow

Customer files arrive at print shops low-resolution, on busy backgrounds, and nowhere near print-ready. The four PixelPanda Connect Packages fix that as a workflow step — not a Photoshop detour.

Upscale Image (AI) enlarges artwork 2x, 4x or 8x with Real-ESRGAN — the difference between a 72-DPI web image and something you can actually print at poster size. Remove Background (AI) cuts subjects out cleanly and returns a transparent PNG, ready for compositing, imposition or product sheets.

Both install in minutes: import the zip under Admin → Resources, add a Connect module to your workflow, pick the package from the dropdown and paste your API key. PowerShell does the rest — no runtimes, no DLLs, no installers on your JobFlow server.

What's in each package

Remove Background (AI) — JPG/PNG/WebP in, transparent PNG out (_nobg.png). 1 credit per image.
Upscale Image (AI) — 2x, 4x or 8x, chosen from a dropdown in the module settings. 2x/4x: 1 credit; 8x: 2 credits.
Remove Text (AI) — wipes stamps and text overlays with AI inpainting (_notext). Not for dense tiled watermarks. 2 credits per image.
Enhance Photo (AI) — sharpens, de-noises and fixes lighting (_enhanced). 1 credit per image.

Who Uses PixelPanda + Fiery JobFlow

Shops that receive customer files all day and print them all night.

Commercial printers

Low-res logos and phone photos arrive in every job ticket. An upscale step in the intake workflow means prepress stops bouncing files back to customers.

Large-format & signage

4x and 8x upscaling turns web assets into banner-ready art. Feed the wide-format queue without manual resampling.

Product & catalog printers

Remove Background gives every product shot a clean transparent cutout for consistent catalog and packaging layouts.

In-plants and CRDs

Standardize image quality across departments with a workflow rule instead of a design request.

Franchise networks

Ship one JobFlow workflow with PixelPanda steps to every location — same quality, no local expertise needed.

Print brokers

Clean up whatever clients send before it reaches the production printer.
