Favorite Icons in Pixtel: Design Faster Without Leaving Your Workspace

Pixtel Engineering•May 19, 2026

Introduction

When editing screenshots, adding icons is often essential to make your visuals clearer and more engaging. But the usual process can be frustrating — you search multiple websites, download SVG or PNG files, import them, and then continue editing.

It breaks your flow.

Pixtel removes that friction entirely with its Favorite Icons feature, letting you access and use icons directly within your workspace.

🚀 A Smarter Way to Use Icons

Instead of switching between tools and websites, Pixtel brings everything into one place.

You can:

Capture a screenshot using Pixtel
Or upload an image through the Import option
Enable Draw Mode to start editing
Open the Icon Pack directly within the editor

Everything you need is already there — simple, fast, and efficient.

🎯 Accessing the Icon Packs

Once you enable Draw Mode, select the Select an Icon.

This opens the Icon Packs Browser, where you can explore a wide variety of icons from different libraries.

You can:

Browse through multiple icon categories
View all available icons in one place
Search for a specific icon using the search bar

This eliminates the need to manually hunt for icons online.

🔍 Selecting and Using Icons

Choosing an icon is straightforward:

Click on any icon you like
Instantly preview it on the right side
Copy or insert it into your screenshot

Once selected, the icon becomes part of your editing canvas, ready to be resized, positioned, or styled.

Once you’ve added an icon to your workspace, you might want to match it with your design or highlight specific elements.

Pixtel makes this very easy.

Simply select the icon on your canvas, and then go to the color options available in the toolbar. From there, you can quickly change the icon’s color to suit your needs.

🧾 Icon Information at Your Fingertips

Pixtel doesn’t just give you icons — it also provides useful details about them.

When you select an icon, you’ll see:

Icon Pack Name & Icon Type
Additional Tags (to understand usage and context)
Homepage Link
License URL

This ensures you always have clarity about the icon source and usage rights.

🎨 Customize Your Icons Easily

Pixtel allows you to tailor icons to match your design perfectly.

From the Preview Options, you can:

Adjust the icon size
Change the foreground color
Modify the background color

This flexibility helps you maintain visual consistency across your screenshots and designs.

💾 Export in Multiple Formats

Once your icon is ready, exporting is quick and simple.

You can save your icons in formats like:

PNG
JPEG
BMP

With just a click, Pixtel opens your file explorer so you can save the file exactly where you need it.

⚡ Quick Access with Favorite & Recently Used Icons

Pixtel also makes repeated work effortless.

At the top of the Favorite Icons section, you’ll find a dropdown menu that shows your recently used icons.

This means:

No need to search again
No need to browse entire icon packs
Just pick from your recent icons instantly

It’s a small feature that saves a lot of time — especially when working on multiple screenshots or consistent designs.

✨ Why This Feature Matters

The Favorite Icons feature in Pixtel simplifies what used to be a multi-step, time-consuming process.

Instead of:

Searching online
Downloading icons
Importing files

You can now do everything inside Pixtel — faster, cleaner, and without interruptions.

🏁 Conclusion

Pixtel’s Favorite Icons feature is not just convenient — it transforms your workflow.

By bringing icon discovery, customization, and export into a single interface, it helps you stay focused on what really matters: creating clear and impactful visuals.

If you regularly work with screenshots, tutorials, or documentation, this feature will quickly become an essential part of your process.
