## Overview
Pixelcode is an AI-powered tool that extracts code from screenshots, YouTube videos, images, PDFs and other visual sources, converting them into editable, formatted code. It uses automatic language recognition to identify and preserve code formatting across more than 30 programming languages including JavaScript, Python, Java, Swift, Ruby, and Dart. The tool is designed for developers who need to quickly extract code from tutorials, documentation, or other visual sources without manually retyping. Users can access it via a Chrome extension and the extracted code is automatically copied to clipboard ready to paste into their IDE. One limitation is that accuracy depends on image quality and complexity of code displayed.
