Pixntel helps you pull text out of screenshots and images, understand what’s in them, and act on it—without sending your images to a cloud model for the built-in AI features. OCR that works for real screenshots Uses Apple’s Vision framework for accurate text recognition, with image preprocessing tuned for tricky captures and a Tesseract fallback when confidence is low—so receipts, slides, and dense screenshots are easier to turn into editable text.
