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.
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!
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)?
@jason123 appreciate it 🙌. Instant export straight into Notion/Slack would be slick. Thanks for putting that on my radar!

Congrats on the launch, Matt! I take a lot of screenshots in my daily workflow, but usually keep them plain and raw. Curious to know-what was the core insight that convinced you styling screenshots (shadows, corners, backgrounds) solves a real pain point?

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! 🚀
This is a game-changer for anyone serious about growth. Overflow, would love to hear your take on building billionaire-level momentum. (Launching tomorrow!)

@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 look 🙏

@azvyae fixed and submitted the update to Chrome store. Hopefully it gets approved fast 🤞
