Ranking and Highlighting Steps in Screenshots Using Pixtel

Introduction

When you create guides, tutorials, or step-by-step instructions, it’s often important not just to highlight areas — but to show the order of actions clearly. This is where Pixtel’s highlighting tools become especially useful. You can add numbered frames to your screenshots so viewers can easily follow each step in sequence.

Why Use Ranking ?

Sometimes a simple highlight is not enough. You may want to:

  • Show Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 clearly
  • Guide users through a process visually
  • Avoid confusion when multiple elements are present in one screenshot

Using numbered shapes (counter rectangles), Pixtel helps you present instructions in a clean and structured way.

How to Create Numbered Highlights in Pixtel

Start by capturing or importing your image:

  • Use Pixtel’s capture options or the Import feature
  • The image will open in a new editing tab

Now follow these steps:

  • Switch to Draw Mode
  • Select the Counter Rectangle tool
  • Click on the areas you want to mark

Each time you add a shape, Pixtel automatically assigns a number (1, 2, 3…), helping you create a step-by-step flow.
