Pixelcode converts code shown in screenshots into editable text in seconds. Select the area you need, and the extracted snippet is copied to your clipboard so you can paste it into an IDE or editor.
Extract code from video, images, and PDFs
Pixelcode isn’t limited to standard screenshots. It supports multiple sources where code is visible but not selectable, including:
- Frames from YouTube videos
- Images
- PDF files
- Other visual formats
Chrome extension with precise selection
Pixelcode is available as a Chrome extension, making it easy to use while watching tutorials or reading documentation in the browser. A built-in cropping tool helps you capture exactly the lines you want, whether it’s a few lines or a larger block.
Useful for developers and students
Pixelcode reduces manual retyping and helps avoid typos when working with code presented visually. It’s a practical fit for:
- Developers
- Students
- Authors of learning materials
- Anyone who frequently encounters code in videos, slides, or documents
