PixPin

PixPin combines screenshot capture, screen recording, long‑page stitching, OCR text extraction, and on‑screen annotation in a single desktop tool. Users can quickly grab a window, a custom region, or the full display, then add notes, highlights, or pixelation to emphasize or hide details. The application also supports recording video or GIF clips with optional mouse‑click and keystroke overlays, and it can merge scrolling content into a continuous image.

The software is positioned for designers, developers, product managers, customer support staff, writers, researchers, educators, and trainers who need visual references and documentation within their workflow. It allows images, extracted text, colors, or files to be “pinned” to the screen as persistent notes, facilitating instant reference without leaving the active application. OCR functionality lets users select text directly from screenshots and copy it for further use.

Available for Windows and macOS, PixPin is offered as a free, stable product without registration requirements. Its integrated feature set aims to streamline desktop‑based tasks such as UI feedback, tutorial creation, bug reporting, and research citation by keeping capture, editing, and annotation in one place.
