Everything you need to make screenshots shine
Dozens of gradients and colored backgrounds
Vivid, pastel, and dark gradient presets to match any brand or mood. Or set any custom solid color — the choice is yours.
Drop shadow control
Fine-tune shadow intensity from barely-there to dramatic with a single slider. No Figma, no Photoshop, no guesswork.
Canvas size presets
Switch between 16:9, square, Instagram, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Product Hunt canvas sizes in one click. Always export at exactly the right dimensions.
HD export — no watermark, ever
Download at 1× or retina 2× resolution as PNG or JPEG. Or copy directly to clipboard. No watermark, no credit required, no catch.
Private by design
Your images never leave your device. PixelTools runs entirely in your browser — zero server uploads, zero data stored. Works offline once loaded.
Built for makers, designers, and developers
Whether you're a developer sharing a UI preview on Twitter, a founder submitting to Product Hunt, a designer building a portfolio, or a content creator making YouTube thumbnails — PixelTools turns any plain screenshot into something worth sharing.
Product Hunt launches
Create eye-catching visuals that stand out on launch day. Use the built-in Product Hunt canvas preset (1270×760) and a vivid gradient to make your screenshots pop in a sea of thumbnails.
Twitter & LinkedIn posts
Turn plain app screenshots into polished visuals that get more engagement. The macOS window frame instantly makes any screenshot look intentional and professional.
Developer portfolios
Show your projects the way they deserve to be seen. A gradient background and soft shadow makes your screenshots look like they came from a dedicated design team.
Changelogs & docs
Make screenshots in product updates, changelogs, and Notion docs look consistent and polished — without needing a designer on call.
App Store & Play Store
Create beautiful promotional screenshots for your app listings. Gradient backgrounds and clean frames help your app stand out in store search results.
Slides & presentations
Stop pasting raw screenshots into your decks. A gradient background and window frame makes any screenshot look intentional, even in a 10-minute presentation.
