Pixelcode is a Chrome extension designed to convert code screenshots from sources such as YouTube videos, images, and PDFs into editable code. It addresses the challenge of manually rewriting code snippets by allowing users to extract and format code directly from visual media, streamlining the process for developers who frequently encounter code in non-editable formats.
The extension features a cropping tool that lets users precisely select the code they wish to extract, whether it is a few lines or hundreds. Once the code is captured, Pixelcode automatically detects the programming language, extracts the code, preserves its formatting, and copies it directly to the clipboard for immediate use in any code editor. The tool supports automatic recognition for over 30 programming languages, including JavaScript, Python, Java, Swift, Ruby, and Dart. Pixelcode emphasizes speed and accuracy, aiming to save users significant time and ensure that the extracted code is ready to run with minimal adjustment.
Pixelcode is accessible exclusively through a Chrome extension, which can be installed via a link provided after purchase. The extension can be used on unlimited devices and is compatible with different payment methods, including credit card and PayPal. Users have the option to pay per use, with a plan priced at $8 for 100 screenshots, or choose a one-time payment of $35 for unlimited screenshots by connecting their own ChatGPT API key. Both plans include lifetime updates. The service ensures that users' API keys remain private and do not leave their devices.
This tool is positioned for developers who want to increase productivity when learning from tutorials or reusing code from visual sources. By automating the extraction and formatting process, Pixelcode enables faster and more accurate code transfer from screenshots to development environments.
In the Developer Tools space, Pixelcode takes a focused approach. It focuses on eliminating manual transcription of code from screenshots, videos, or PDFs by converting them into editable code automatically. It is built as a consumer product for developers. A free plan is available. It runs on the web.
Pixelcode first shipped in 2024. Among its 7 catalogued features are code extraction, screenshot parsing, and chrome extension.
