PixPin combines screenshots, screen recording, and on-device OCR into one pin-to-screen workflow.
Grounded in available product and source data
Switching between a separate screenshot tool, screen recorder, and OCR app just to document one bug report is its own kind of friction — PixPin combines screenshot, screen recorder, and OCR in one tool instead, on both Windows and macOS.
Capture itself covers more than a simple crop: Smart Screenshot auto-detects windows, regions, or full screens, Long Captures stitch an entire page, chat thread, or document into a single image, and screen recordings can be exported as annotated video or GIFs rather than raw, unedited footage.
What sets Pin it to screen apart from a typical capture tool is that a screenshot doesn't have to end in a saved file — images, text, colors, and files can be pinned directly onto the screen like sticky notes, staying visible as a reference while working rather than buried in a downloads folder. Extract Text from Image runs OCR on-device, so text inside a screenshot or a pinned note can be copied directly instead of retyped by hand.
Pro unlocks two workflow shortcuts specifically: Quick Pin Screenshot triggers a capture-and-pin from inside any other piece of software using a global WIN + Drag shortcut, and Action Recording layers keystrokes and mouse clicks onto a screen recording for step-by-step tutorials and bug reports that show exactly what was clicked, not just what was on screen.
Yes — Long Captures is built specifically for that, stitching a full page, chat thread, or document into a single continuous image rather than requiring several separate screenshots pieced together manually.
Not necessarily — Pin it to screen can keep it visible directly on the desktop like a sticky note instead, which is useful for anything meant to stay as a reference while working rather than being filed away immediately.
No — Extract Text from Image runs OCR on-device, so text extraction from a screenshot or pinned note happens locally rather than depending on a cloud service.
On Pro, yes — Quick Pin Screenshot uses a global WIN + Drag shortcut that works from inside any other software, capturing and pinning in one motion without alt-tabbing to PixPin first.
On Pro, Action Recording layers keystrokes and mouse clicks onto the screen recording itself, which is specifically aimed at step-by-step tutorials where showing the exact click sequence matters.
