From camera to calibrated measurement.

How Pixosight handles input, calibration, measurement tools, and export.

Input

USB camera or image file.

Connect any camera Windows recognizes as a capture device — USB cameras, webcams, microscope cameras with USB video output, industrial cameras on UVC drivers. Preview the live feed, then capture a still frame when you're ready to measure.

No camera? Open an existing image: PNG, JPG/JPEG, TIF/TIFF, or BMP. Import and measure any photograph from any source.

  • Any USB camera Windows sees as a capture device
  • No proprietary drivers or SDKs required
  • PNG · JPG/JPEG · TIF/TIFF · BMP import

Calibration

One calibration per setup. Saved forever.

Identify a feature of known size in your image or live feed — a stage micrometer, gauge block, or calibration slide. Mark it, enter the real-world dimension in pixels, microns, mm, cm, or inches, and name the profile. It's saved to the gallery.

Calibration is specific to your optical configuration: a given magnification, focal distance, and camera. Keep that setup and the profile loads instantly in every future session — no recalibration. Change the optics or camera position and you calibrate a new profile, once.

  • Calibrate to any reference feature in frame
  • Units: px · µm · mm · cm · in
  • Save named profiles — "6×", "100×", "Stage A"
  • Load instantly across sessions

Measurement

Easy tools. Draw on the canvas, get a number.

Results update as you draw. All values are in whatever unit your active calibration is set to.

📏 Line

Point-to-point distance between any two locations.

⭕ Circle

Fit a circle to a round feature. Reads diameter or radius.

⇕ Parallel

Gap between two parallel edges — slots, steps, flanges.

🎯 Concentric

Multiple rings from a shared center — bores, counterbores, annular features.

🔬 Ball Crater

Thin film thickness from ball crater geometry. Supports single and multilayer coatings.

Measurement tools on canvas
Canvas

Annotate the image while you work.

Add text labels, arrows, and freehand markup anywhere on the canvas. Full undo/redo. Inspect any placed measurement in the property panel and adjust it without redrawing. Pan, zoom, fit-to-view. Toggle calibrated rulers on or off.

Canvas with annotations and labels
Project files

Save. Reopen. Continue.

Save any session as a .pxst project file. Reopen it and everything is exactly as you left it — the image, every measurement, all annotations, and the active calibration profile.

Pick it up later, review previous work, or open it on any machine running Pixosight.

Saving and reopening a .pxst session file
Export

One image. Everything in it.

Export the full canvas as PNG, JPG, TIFF, or BMP. All measurements, labels, arrows, and freehand markup are baked in. Optional overlays: scale bar, watermark, timestamp.

The exported file requires no special software to read. It's just an image — send it in an email, attach it to a report, drop it in a folder. Anyone can open it.
