Introduction to Share

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, OneDrive, 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.
