What PixelCopy is

PixelCopy is a Windows screen-capture studio for capturing, annotating, recording, extracting on-screen text, and sharing screen content. It can capture a region, window, full display, or scrolling page, with automatic header and footer detection for scrolling captures. The editor includes arrows, shapes, text, numbered steps, highlighting, blur, pixelation, backgrounds, and padding. Recordings can cover a screen, window, or region and export as MP4 or GIF, with microphone and system audio, webcam overlay, and trimming. On-device OCR supports more than 25 languages and works offline without uploading recognized text. Searchable history supports filtering, re-editing, and sharing, with optional scheduled cleanup to the Recycle Bin. The free plan includes local capture, recording, and annotation without expiry. Pro costs $8 per month and adds unlimited cloud storage, uploads to Slack, Microsoft Teams, or a custom webhook, plus short sharing links with expiry, password protection, and view counts; uploaded files are limited to 500 MB each. PixelCopy targets Windows 10 version 1903 or later and Windows 11, including x64 and ARM64 systems.
