Image Pin ​

Image pins can come from the following sources:

  • Pin directly when taking a screenshot There is a Pin button in the screenshot toolbar. Clicking it will directly pin the image to the current screen without saving the image to the clipboard.
  • Get image from clipboard If you chose to copy to the clipboard when taking a screenshot or copied an image in other applications, you can use the pin shortcut Ctrl + 2 to pin it.
  • Get image from file You can copy a file to the clipboard and then use the pin shortcut Ctrl + 2 to pin it. Supported image formats include Png, Jpg, Bmp, and Webp.

TIP

If the pin source is copied via PixPin screenshot or pinned directly, the pin position will be consistent with the screenshot position. If the pin source is the clipboard or a file, the pin position will be in the center of the screen. You can also modify the configuration in "Config" - "Pin" - "Pin Display Position".
