Pixtel manages images and screen captures/recordings in an efficient way. Images and captures stored in the application can be browsed/searched and external images can be imported easily. Multiple files can be selected at a time and exported to Office documents such as Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. Even with a large number of files, users can easily find the required file using properties such as categories, created dates, tags and display names which will be explained in detail in this document. All management functionality can be accessed from the middle section of the left-hand side, as shown below:

Home fly out shows the dashboard with image counts for captured, imported, shared and the amount of space taken by the stored files. In addition to statistics, Get Started section in the Home fly-out has help links available in the bottom section. These quick help links take the user to online documentation and training videos.

All images are organized based on category and sub-categories. It is easier to find images by category view if the category and sub-category are known. Select browse by 'Category' to see the flyout view as shown below:

Another option in Browse by is 'Created Date'.  This organizes images in year→month view. This is very useful to review and find images by year and month.

Pixtel provides a greatly simplified approach to exporting images. This is the most frequently used feature in the product. Most of the time, the current image needs to be exported out into another format. Instead of selecting File→Save As, providing a file name, and selecting format, it can be done in one place using Export flyout panel. Click on Export icon, , to open export fly out shown below:

Filename to be exported into is shown on the top. The default filename is set to image display name which can be changed. In the case of multiple images selected from the Grid view, a filename with timestamp is auto-generated, which can be changed as well. Image format to be exported is auto-selected based on the internal image format, which can be changed as well. If files are to be shared in Pi format retaining all annotations, select Pi file format. Pi files can be imported in another Pixtel and all annotations are available for editing. In other formats, all annotations are flattened before exporting/sharing. The Pi format is helpful for collaborative work where two or more users need to work on an image and make changes to the annotations. Each file/image in the application maintains a unique global signature that acts as an identifier. When a Pi file is imported, the application will ask if an existing file with the same signature needs to be replaced or a new file needs to be created. Overwriting content will reduce unnecessary files in the application as well as saving storage space.

Contacts are managed by Pixtel for enabling adding email addresses to contacts without requiring to remember contact email address every time.
