Workflow Evolved

I built PixelPaste because I was tired of opening Photoshop just to save a screenshot as a specific file. It streamlines the process of capturing and organizing visual assets.

Instant Capture: Just hit Ctrl+V. The image appears instantly.
Smart Renaming: Type a filename and hit Enter to save.
Dual Formats: Toggle between PNG (lossless) and JPG (smaller size).
100% Privacy: Runs entirely offline in your browser.

Tech stack and permissions

Picture-in-Picture Mode

Need to reference a diagram while coding or writing? PixelPaste includes a unique "Float" feature that injects your image into the current webpage as a draggable overlay.

The floating window stays on top of your work until you close it, acting like a seamless "second monitor" experience inside a single browser window.
