Google Pixel remembers your screenshots so you don’t have to.
Pixel Screenshots makes organizing, recalling, and using your screenshots a breeze.1

We’re spoiled by storage.

The first MP3 players had room for four or five songs (assuming they were short ones). And early smartphones measured storage in megabytes.

Compare that to today: Pixel 9 Pro goes all the way up to 1 TB, enough for a massive amount of photos, apps, and anything else you could want on your phone.5

Picture perfect, memory imperfect

There’s a catch to the unsung marvel of modern storage, however. When you have enough room for everything, you tend to keep everything. And when you keep everything, it’s hard to find anything.

Add in the rising trend of using photos and screenshots as a way to keep records and remember important information, and you’re going to spend a bunch of time scrolling for that receipt you took a photo of, or that screenshot of a coupon code you wanted to use.

Help is here

Enter Pixel Screenshots. This Pixel-exclusive app uses Gemini Nano with Multimodality – our latest on-device AI model – to save, organize, and easily recall the information embedded within your screenshots. That’s a mouthful, so let’s go through it step by step.

  • Save: Whenever you save a screenshot, Gemini Nano with Multimodality will automatically kick into gear and begin processing all of the information contained within the image (such as the address of a restaurant, or the items and prices in a receipt), as well as other helpful metadata (such as what app or website the screenshot was taken from). Pixel Screenshots not only generates an AI-powered title and summary of the information you save, but can also offer suggested actions based on the content – such as setting a reminder or automatically adding details to your Google Calendar if it notices dates.

  • Organize: You can create custom collections within the Pixel Screenshots app to easily group screenshots around different ideas or topics. You can also add notes to anything you save, such as “gift idea for mom” in case you want to include additional information for later. And when you pull up a screenshot, it can offer a link (if available) to go back to where the screenshot was taken. 

  • Recall: The best part. In the Pixel Screenshots app you can simply ask for information you want to find in a conversational way – like “Package tracking number?” – and get a conversational answer in return – “Your tracking number is 1234” in addition to including the original image it came from. And soon, you’ll be able to use the Gemini assistant to help you find a saved screenshot, no matter where you are on your phone.6

Oh, and it does this all super fast since Pixel Screenshots runs on device – no internet connection needed. The end result is less scrolling, less racking your brain, and faster access to the things you want to remember.

Here are three practical scenarios that show how Pixel Screenshots can help in everyday life.

Dine like a local

Your friend Liam lives in Berkeley, and you’re going to visit next month. You ask for restaurant recommendations – Liam knows all the best spots – and get a text back with a few suggestions. You screenshot the text.

Fast-forward a month. You’re in town and quite hungry. Do you remember the restaurant picks? Probably not! But you ask Pixel Screenshots “Restaurant recommendations in Berkeley?” and quickly get the list, complete with address and directions.

Shop with an assistant

You’re looking for the perfect gift for a friend’s birthday and screenshot ideas, prices, and coupon codes during your search. When you settle on a new Bluetooth speaker, you ask Pixel Screenshots, “What was the price of the speaker I saved?” and it responds with the answer. You can ask again, “Bluetooth speaker coupon code” and it responds with the code, the associated screenshot, and a link back to the website so you can make the purchase.

Recreate family recipes

A sudden craving for your dad’s famous blueberry and peach galette strikes. You ask him to send you the recipe so you can make it at home – and, bonus, keep the recipe in the family. He sends you a photo with the recipe. You save the image to Pixel Screenshots and add a note “dad’s blueberry peach galette.” 

Later on you’re at the supermarket and can’t remember how many peaches are needed, so you pull up Pixel Screenshots and ask, “How many peaches in dad’s blueberry peach galette?” and it quickly responds with, “Two.” 

Pixel Screenshots is a Pixel exclusive

There are only three ways to get in on this AI organizational fun: Pixel 9 Pro and Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and Pixel 9. Take a look at all they have to offer.
