Hey, I’m Matt šŸ‘‹

I built pixxel because I wanted a lightweight, super simple, browser-based screenshot tool. No heavy apps, just open in Chrome, snap, style, and share.

One of my favorite tools is Screen Studio, so I used it as inspiration while keeping the focus on simplicity and a minimal editor.

Give it a try. Hope you like it āœŒļø

@matthewhefferonĀ Thank you! It's simple tool šŸ‘Œ

Love it! super handy for quickly sending screenshots! One small thing I noticed: when you blur the background, the edges also blur and the frame looks kind of transparent. Maybe you could repeat the edge pixels so the blur extends cleanly to the edges. Kudos on the launch! šŸš€

@fatehzidĀ thanks and I appreciate the feedback!

Made a few short YouTube videos walking through pixxel if you’re curious in learning more.

Love the idea, but I don’t know why I’m having an issue on my device. I’m currently using a dual-monitor setup: one 1080p and the other 2K, and unfortunately, I can’t resize it properly. Still, it’s a great product!

Matthew Hefferon

@azvyae thanks so much for trying it out and for the kind words. I run dual-monitors and haven’t run into that myself, but I’ll take a closer lookĀ šŸ™

Matthew Hefferon

@azvyaeĀ fixed and submitted the update to Chrome store. Hopefully it gets approved fast šŸ¤ž

@matthewhefferonĀ That's pretty fast, thanks Matthew! Definetly worth to try

Congratulations on launch šŸŽ‰

This looks super useful—especially for people like me who share a lot of browser screenshots. Curious, do you plan to add instant export options (like directly into Notion or Slack)?

Matthew Hefferon

@jason123Ā appreciate it šŸ™Œ. Instant export straight into Notion/Slack would be slick. Thanks for putting that on my radar!
