This app is primarily targeted toward designers who need to access detailed pixel-level data. It is also beneficial for individuals with visual impairments who wish to zoom in on specific areas of the screen, making it easier to read text.

You will need Android Lollipop (version 5.0) or higher to run this app.

Note: For devices using Xiaomi's MIUI, ensure that you grant the necessary overlay permissions in the app's system settings.

Known issue: Some devices (like the K3 Note running Android 5.0) may experience auto-dimming of the screen when the circle overlay is active, resulting in colors appearing darker than they are in reality. Unfortunately, there’s no known fix for this issue.

Your friends using iPhones may feel envious when they find out this capability isn't available on their devices :)

Benefits:

★ Retrieve the RGB color code or DIP coordinates for any pixel displayed on the screen.

★ Determine the size (in DIPs) of any specific area—before lifting the circle, you'll see the x/y distance you dragged.

★ Identify the closest Material Design Color corresponding to the focused color.

★ Analyze the arrangement of pixels.

★ Share a screenshot or circular image to another application (e.g., via email)—just long press on the thumbnail.

★ Amplify small text that is hard to read, which is especially useful for individuals with less than perfect eyesight.

★ Create a color palette based on the most recent screenshot or latest circular zoomed section.

★ Share a cropped section of the screen—focus the overlay on one corner, then drag it diagonally to the opposite corner. You'll see a thumbnail of the selected area on the main screen; long-press to share the image!

Additional features include:

★ Pinch-to-zoom functionality.

★ Smooth panning using two fingers (afterward, you're free to lift a finger).

★ Tap outside of the circle (bottom-left or top-right) to copy the RGB color code to your clipboard.

★ Quick Settings Tile for toggling the overlay on and off.

★ A Hue Wheel color picker option.

★ A notification that lets you hide/show the overlay, exit the application, or share the latest color code with other applications.

Please be aware that after an initial ad-free phase, advertisements will begin to appear. You can opt to disable these ads by making a small one-time payment within the app. We appreciate your support.

Privacy Information:

★ Pixolor takes a single screenshot whenever you place your finger on the circle, which is shown by a brief appearance of the Chromecast status bar icon. When the Chromecast icon disappears, you can be assured that no application is accessing your screen.

★ The data from captured screenshots is never transmitted from your device nor made accessible outside of the app—except when you choose to share the image (by long-pressing on the thumbnail), at which point it will be shared according to your instructions.

App permissions are outlined in the dedicated FAQ section.
