Pixtel Capture brings screen capture, recording, annotation, image editing, AI assistance, media organization, and sharing into one Windows workspace. Developed by Pixtel, Inc., it helps professionals turn everyday screenshots and recordings into clear explanations, reusable documentation, and actionable feedback.
Capture a software issue, annotate the details, attach it to Jira, and keep it searchable for later. Build a walkthrough from multiple screenshots, record a demonstration with on-screen drawing, or extract a table from an image into Excel. Pixtel keeps these workflows connected, reducing the repeated saving, exporting, uploading, and switching between applications.
CAPTURE THE INFORMATION YOU NEED
Capture a selected region, an application window, a full screen, or scrolling content that extends beyond the visible area. Scrolling Window and Scrolling Region Capture help you document long webpages, conversations, and application panels in a continuous image.
Use delayed capture for menus and tooltips, repeat your last selected region, or capture an area automatically at defined intervals. Bring existing images into the same workspace to edit, organize, and share them alongside new captures.
EXPLAIN MORE WITH THE VIRTUAL CANVAS
Your explanation does not have to fit inside the screenshot.
Pixtel’s Virtual Canvas lets you place text, arrows, callouts, icons, and additional images beyond the original capture’s boundaries. Add context around an interface without covering the controls you want someone to see, or arrange several screenshots into a comparison, process flow, or visual explanation.
Annotations remain editable in your Pixtel workspace. Reposition a label, change a callout, update a numbered step, or revise a diagram as your documentation evolves.
CREATE CLEAR, PROFESSIONAL VISUALS
Draw attention to the right details with arrows, highlights, shapes, text, callouts, and automatically numbered steps. Use the Smart Pencil to turn rough drawings into clean shapes, and add visual elements from an integrated library of more than 20,000 vector icons.
Crop, resize, rotate, adjust colors, apply image effects, and add watermarks without moving to a separate image editor.
For design discussions, Simplify can replace screenshot text with bars or turn the interface into a wireframe. This helps reviewers focus on layout, structure, and flow. The resulting elements can be edited within Pixtel.
EDIT TEXT WITHOUT RECAPTURING THE SCREEN
A screenshot may still be useful even when a label, date, price, or version number has changed.
Edit Text lets you select words in a picture and replace them. Pixtel works to match the existing font, size, weight, and color while rebuilding the background behind the original text. Changes remain editable, and the original text can be restored.
Text recognition and editing run locally on your PC. For removing sensitive information, use the dedicated Redact workflow rather than relying on an editable text cover.
PUT AI TO WORK ON YOUR SCREENSHOTS
Analyze with AI helps you get useful information out of a picture:
• Describe an image and optionally save the description with it.
• Ask questions about a screenshot and continue with follow-up questions.
• Identify potentially sensitive information for review in Redact.
• Generate alt text for documents, websites, and email.
• Translate screenshot text and apply the translated wording back into the picture.
• Extract tables to paste into a spreadsheet or save as an Excel workbook.
Choose your own AI service: Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Amazon Bedrock. Connect your account and select a supported model.
AI actions are user initiated. Pixtel shows what will be sent, and a Redact First option lets you prepare a copy before sending it. Local OCR, screenshot text search, Redact, and Edit Text do not require an AI service.
AI provider access and usage charges are separate. Organizations can manage AI availability, permitted services and actions, and confirmation requirements through Group Policy or Intune using Pixtel’s policy templates.
FIND CAPTURES BY WHAT THEY CONTAIN
A useful screenshot should not disappear into a folder of unnamed files.
Pixtel keeps captures in a media library with names, descriptions, categories, and browsing tools. Its background OCR makes the text inside images searchable, so you can find a screenshot by a phrase, error message, or other words you remember seeing.
Search names, descriptions, image text, or a selected combination. Recognition runs on your PC using Windows text-recognition languages.
Work with multiple captures in browser-style tabs, compare images in a grid, and return to your saved workspace when you reopen the application. Backup, restore, and relocation options help you maintain your library over time.
RECORD WALKTHROUGHS PEOPLE CAN FOLLOW
Record your screen with microphone and system audio, include a webcam view, or capture audio independently.
During a recording, draw arrows, highlights, shapes, and numbered steps directly on the screen. Drawings fade away so the next part of your explanation stays clear. Zoom in around the pointer manually or automatically on clicks to help viewers follow small controls and important details.
Use recordings for bug reproduction, customer support, onboarding, training, and product demonstrations.
SHARE DIRECTLY INTO YOUR WORKFLOW
Send captures to services and applications including Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, Jira, OneNote, Evernote, Microsoft Office, FTP, email, YouTube, and Vimeo, as appropriate for the media and destination.
Connect multiple accounts on supported services to work across personal, business, and client destinations.
With Drag Me, drag media into applications and websites that accept dropped files without first saving and locating an export. For development and QA workflows, create Jira issues or attach captures to existing issues from within Pixtel.
TURN CAPTURES INTO DOCUMENTATION AND PRESENTATIONS
Select screenshots and export them to Word, PowerPoint, or Excel. Build a PowerPoint presentation with layout and template options, combine images into a visual composition, or present captures as a slideshow.
Keep the capture, explanation, and delivery steps together when preparing release notes, training material, design reviews, or technical instructions.
BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO COMMUNICATE VISUALLY
• Developers and QA engineers: document defects, show reproduction steps, and share evidence through Jira.
• Technical writers and support teams: maintain illustrated guides, explain settings, and create walkthroughs.
