This application is mainly for designers to know technical pixel-level information. It is also useful for people with poor eyesight who want to effortlessly zoom in on parts of the screen (e.g. to read text more easily).

Requires Android Lollipop (5.0) or higher.

Note: For Xiaomi (MIUI) devices, please enable the overlay permission in the app's system settings.

Your iPhone friends will be envious when they realise this technology is not possible on their devices :)

Benefits:

★ Know the colour code (RGB) or coordinates (DIP) of any pixel on the screen
★ Know the size (DIPs) of any region of the screen - before you release the circle you will see the x/y distance dragged
★ Know the nearest Material Design Сolor to the concentrate color
★ Study pixel arrangement
★ Share screenshot or circular image to another application (e.g. send by email) - long press on thumbnail
★ Еnlarge hard-to-read text. Very handy for those with not so perfect eyesight
★ Generate colour palette from latest screenshot or latest circular zoomed section
★ Share a cropped area of the screen - concentrate overlay on one corner, then drag overlay to opposite corner. You will see thumbnail of the dragged region in the main screen. Long-press to share the image!

Other features:

★ Pinch-to-zoom
★ Fine panning using two fingers (thereafter, free to release a finger)
★ Tap outside circle (bottom-left or top-right) to copy colour RGB to clipboard
★ Quick Settings Tile to toggle on/off
★ Нue Wheel colour picker
★ Notification allowing you to: hide/show overlay; quit application; share latest colour code with other apps

Please note: this application shows ads after an initial ad-free period. You have the option to disable ads by making a small one-time in-app payment. Thank you for your support.

Privacy:

★ Pixolor takes a single screenshot each time you place your finger on the circle. This is indicated by the brief appearance of the Сhromecast status bar icon. When the Сhromecast icon is not visible, you can be sure no application is reading the screen.
★ Сaptured screenshot data is never sent (in full or part) from your device or made available outside of the app. The only exception to this is when you explicitly share the image (long-press on thumbnail), in which case it will be shared in the way you request.
