GetPixit helps to capture, share and manage files. Images captured can be edited using drawing and image manipulation tools before sharing. GetPixit helps in easy sharing of images to multiple cloud platforms and applications such as Google Drive, One Drive, Word, PowerPoint, Jira, Facebook etc. One important feature in all these integrations is that user can configure multiple accounts with any of the provider. For example, user can have 3 Google drive accounts, one for personal use, one or more for business use, and another one for school. While working on captures for business, business account can be used to upload and share annotated files. This is one of the major strengths of GetPixit unlike many other tools in the market. This document covers the different share options available in the application. Share interface can be opened either from Menu Window→Share or Click on Share Toggle button icon, , from the left hand side menu in the middle. This will let share option interface slide out from the left as shown below. It can be closed by click on the icon again.
Share Integrations
By default, current image opened in the tab is selected as the image for sharing. Multiple images can be shared by switching the main display to Grid View by clicking on Grid View toggle button icon . Grid view displays thumbnails of all opened tabs. Any number of images can be selected from the grid view and can be shared together. If any of the images have annotations, they get flattened onto the image before sharing. This flattening happens with the temporary in-memory images, the original image with annotations is not impacted. See the following grid view with some selected image thumbnails for sharing.
Sharing integrations are grouped into
- Cloud Upload: All integrations that enable uploading images to cloud drives such as Google Drive, cloud applications such as OneNote and EverNote, and cloud storage in future are part of this section. This can be minimized by clicking on the header.
- Export: All integrations that export images into document formats such as office Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
- Applications: All application integrations for sharing images.
- Social Media: All social media applications for sharing images such as Facebook and Twitter.
There is a format checkbox in the bottom of the share fly-out. Checking this box helps to share files in native PI (Pixit) file format which retains all the annotations along with the image intact. These files can be imported in another GetPixit and annotations can be manipulated as required. This is very useful for collaborative work. If this checkbox is not selected, all files will be shared in the native format they have been captured or imported in.
Cloud Upload
Easy, fast and secure way of sharing images with multiple cloud platforms. GetPixit has been integrated with widely used cloud platforms like Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, and cloud applications OneNote and EverNote. User account is authenticated to add account information in GetPixit. After authentication, all the folders on the cloud drive are displayed in an explorer view. Multiple accounts can be added and user accounts will be cached in GetPixit to avoid future login. User can remove their account anytime; this deletes local user profile. All the files chosen for upload will be available and selection or deselection among files is also possible.
