Google Pixel organises your screenshots so you don’t have to.
When you have enough room to keep every photo you take, you tend to keep them all. And when you keep everything, it’s hard to find anything. Until Pixel Screenshots.
With more and more people using photos and screenshots to keep records and remember things, chances are, you’ve probably spent more time than you wanted scrolling for that receipt or coupon screenshot you wanted to use.
One of the latest Gemini features, Pixel Screenshots helps analyse, organise, and easily look up the information on your screenshots and photos.1 That’s a bit of a mouthful, so let’s go through it step by step.
Analyse: Using Gemini Nano – Pixel’s on-device AI – Pixel Screenshots reviews the text, content and metadata of your images.
Organise: Pixel Screenshots assigns a custom, editable title for your image, then categorises it so it’s easy to find later. And when you look up a screenshot, it offers a link to go back to where the screenshot was first taken.
Recall: The best part! You can ask for information in a conversational way – like "What was that wine I liked?" – and get a spoken answer in return. It even gives you time-based reminders, like an alert to buy concert tickets when they go on sale. Say, early release of those premium Melbourne Cup seats you’ve been eyeing up.
The end result is less scrolling, less racking your brain, and faster access to the things you want to remember.
Better yet, because it’s powered by Gemini Nano, Pixel’s on-device AI, your information is private, secure and available without an internet connection.
Your friend Liam lives in Brisbane, and you’re planning to visit next month. You ask for restaurant recommendations (Liam knows all the best spots) and get a text back with a few suggestions. You screenshot the text.
Fast forward a month. You’re in town and quite hungry. Do you remember the restaurant picks? Of course not! But you ask Pixel Screenshots “What restaurants did Liam tell me to try in Brisbane?” and quickly get the list, complete with address, directions, and a link to make a reservation.
You’re scrolling social media in bed and stumble across a set of nails you love. You take a screenshot. And then you see others, and you screenshot those, too.
At your next beautician appointment, your nail technician asks what you want to do. Instead of shrugging or scrolling back to find your screenshots, you simply look up “nails” in Pixel Screenshots. All your inspiration is gathered in one place, and there’s even a link back to the source in case you want to check out the nail polish brand and colour.
You see a flyer for an upcoming concert. You take a pic that includes the time and date in your photo, and save it with Pixel Screenshots.
Later you’re scrolling social media and, there’s an ad for that same concert, this time with a pre-sale date and code. You take a screenshot.
The pre-sale date arrives and Pixel Screenshots reminds you to buy the ticket and resurfaces the code. You buy the tickets, and a few days before the event, you get another notification reminding you about it.
Pixel Screenshots is currently available on Pixel 9 series phones and later.
