Pixolor is an application that displays a circle floating over your apps, providing a magnified view of the underlying pixels along with color details and central pixel coordinates.

Recognized as one of Android Police's "20 Best Android Apps of 2015," Pixolor caters to designers seeking technical pixel-level insights. Moreover, it aids individuals with visual impairments by facilitating effortless screen zooming for enhanced readability.

Compatibility-wise, Pixolor requires Android Lollipop (5.0) or a later version. For Xiaomi (MIUI) devices, enabling the overlay permission in the app's system settings is necessary.

An identified issue involves auto-dimming the screen on certain devices like the K3 Note running Android 5.0 when the circle overlay is active, potentially leading to darker recognized colors.

Main Features:

  • Retrieve RGB color codes or DIP coordinates of any pixel on the screen
  • Determine the size (DIPs) of specific screen areas
  • Identify the nearest Material Design Color to the target color
  • Examine pixel arrangements
  • Share screenshots or circular images with other apps
  • Zooom in to enhance text readability
  • Build color palettes from screenshots or circular zoomed sections
  • Share cropped screen areas easily

Additional Highlights:

  • Pinch-to-zoom functionality
  • Precise panning using two fingers
  • Copy color RGB by tapping outside the circle
  • Toggle overlay on/off with Quick Settings Tile
  • Hue Wheel color picker available
  • Diverse notification options for overlay control and sharing color codes

Your awareness of Pixolor’s capabilities might provoke envy among iPhone users, as this functionality is not attainable on their devices. Please note that Pixolor displays ads after an initial ad-free period, with an option to disable ads through a one-time in-app payment.

Data privacy is a key focus for Pixolor:

  • The app captures a single screenshot each time you engage with the circle, noticeable by the brief appearance of the Chromecast status bar icon.
  • Screenshot data remains within the app unless explicitly shared by the user.
