Choose by Task

If you are not sure which guide to read first, choose an entry point based on your current task. If you only want a quick first run, start with the first three-minute workflow. If you already have a clear goal, start from the scenarios below instead of reading the whole manual from the beginning.

What you want to do now	Recommended entry point	What you will learn
Install and try Pixel Flow for the first time	First three-minute workflow	Install the extension, pin the toolbar icon, and open the side panel for the first time
Find images from a webpage in bulk	Batch scan images from a webpage	Scan the current page, scroll to load more images, and filter out icons and decorative images
Judge an image’s source and parameters	Analyze a single image’s parameters and source	Review source URLs, page context, EXIF, AIGC parameters, and AI detection results
Build a project asset library	Favorite images and organize them with tags	Favorite images, add tags, and retrieve assets by project or usage
Deliver to a team or client	Export an image inventory for a team or client	Export an Excel inventory, keep source records, and pair it with batch downloads for delivery files
Switch devices or avoid data loss	Migrate data and prevent uninstall-related loss	Back up, import, check before uninstalling, and migrate to another device

If you have not logged in yet, you can first complete registration, bind an email or Google account, set a password, and similar account actions. When eligible, the system grants free Pro time so you can try more batch and advanced abilities. See the Pro time reward rules for the full explanation.

I Want to Collect Images from Webpages

This path fits designers, operators, and content teams who need to organize image assets from webpages. Start with batch scan images from a webpage to learn how to open the side panel, wait for automatic scanning, scroll to load more images, filter out icons and decorative images, then batch favorite, download, or export.

If you already know what you want to do in the capture feed, continue with filtering images by format, ratio, source, and resolution; batch favorites; or batch downloads.

Pixel Flow capture feed showing the current page image list, format labels, size information, and bottom action buttons — The capture feed is the main entry point for organizing webpage images. Confirm the detected results first, then decide whether to filter, favorite, preview, download, or export.

I Want to Check Whether an Image Can Be Used

Open analyze a single image’s parameters and source. Focus on the source URL, page context, format and dimensions, EXIF, AIGC parameters, and AI detection results. Pixel Flow can provide source and technical clues, but it cannot replace an authorization decision.

If you only want to understand a specific field, jump to the image analysis dictionary. If you need to continue tracing the source, see open source link and Google reverse image search.

Pixel Flow batch preview for GIF images, showing image previews and a right-side image information panel — Batch preview is useful for quickly reviewing image content before using the detail page to check source, format, dimensions, metadata, and AI-related clues.

I Want to Organize a Project Asset Library

Open favorite images and organize them with tags. A good approach is to favorite images first, then use tags for clients, projects, pages, usage, or status. Later, you can search, filter, batch tag, unfavorite, or download from the library.

If you already have a batch of assets, continue with searching and filtering favorites, batch adding tags, and batch downloading from the library.

Pixel Flow side-panel library showing favorited images, tag filters, and batch operation entry points — The library turns a one-time webpage scan into a project asset collection you can keep maintaining.

I Want to Deliver to Colleagues or Clients

Open export an image inventory for a team or client. If delivery also requires the image files themselves, pair it with batch download images while keeping source records.

Before delivery, check three things: whether the images come from pages you are allowed to process, whether source records are complete, and whether file names are easy for the team to identify. When you need to trace past actions, check the download history.

Download file naming format settings in Pixel Flow, showing source, date, number, and other filename fields — Download filename settings make exported assets easier to identify by source, date, and number, which helps with team handoff and client review.

I Am Worried About Data Loss

Start with migrate data and avoid uninstall-related loss, plus backup before uninstalling the extension. Before uninstalling the extension, clearing browser data, reinstalling Chrome, or switching devices, export a backup first.

If you are not sure which data will remain, continue with where data is stored and what data syncs.

Do Not Start Here

If you are only installing Pixel Flow for the first time, do not start with the feature dictionary. Go directly to the first three-minute workflow.
If you only want to know why a button is locked, start with the Free vs Pro feature comparison.
If your work involves copyright, commercial use, training data, or client delivery, Pixel Flow can only provide organization and analysis clues. It cannot confirm authorization for you.
If you plan to uninstall, reinstall, clear browser data, or switch devices, back up first.
