About this project

Pitch

Every engineer ships screenshots. Bug reports. Quick design crits. Friday memes. And every time, the workflow is the same — alt-tab to your file manager, drag into Slack or upload to some random image host, wait, paste link. PixelPipe lives in your terminal. One command, instant shareable URL, copied to your clipboard.

We started PixelPipe because we were tired of the 400-millisecond context switch. CLI-first means it composes with everything you already use — pipe `screencapture -i` straight into it, drop it in a shell function, wire it into your editor's "save" hook. No browser, no dashboard, no friends asking you to install a desktop app.

The free tier covers most people forever. Pro adds branded short links, team workspaces, and a per-image audit log so you know exactly when your CEO clicked the staging screenshot at 2am.
