Live vertices · curve points
Polygon
Drop points around the area. Every vertex stays grabbable: pull one to nudge the fit, or bend a straight edge into a curve. Re-open the region any time and it is all still editable.

Core takeoff
Area. Linear. Count.
Everything else is detail.
Every bid reduces to three measurements. PixelTakeoff automates each one from the pixels already in your drawing. No tracing, no clickfests.
region fill · live R
01 · Area Click once.
Click once.
Boundary detected.
Area tools for every region. Paving, planter, or roof face: one click finds the boundary, and the total lands in seconds, in your units.
linear region · live L
02 · Linear Every run,
Every run,
measured.
Electrical runs, plumbing lines, curbs, and edging: linear takeoff is a few clicks away, and the footage follows every bend in the line.
auto count · live × 12 detected A
03 · Count Auto count.
Auto count.
Any drawing.
Counts by what a symbol looks like, or by the drawing's own objects. Scanned sheet or clean CAD export, trees, fixtures, and symbols land in one pass.

The area toolkit · captured in the app
Any boundary. Auto-regioned.
Clean CAD or noisy scan: if there's a boundary, these tools lock onto it. No boundary? Draw it your way.
Every capture stays fully editable. You review and sign every number.

Draw it yourself · manual, enhanced
Manual.
Not primitive.
Drop live points, paint with the brush, or pull a perfect shape. Your hands, sharper tools.
Paint the region
Brush
The one you grew up with. Paint straight over the area like a highlighter and each stroke becomes measurable region. Scrub back with the eraser to trim.
Box · Circle · Ellipse
Shapes
Drop a perfect box, circle, drag-circle, or ellipse when the area is regular. One drag, clean geometry. And like every capture, you can still edit or erase it afterwards.

The linear toolkit · captured in the app
Every run. Auto-traced.
Pipes, curbs, cable pulls, edging: click the run and the footage follows. Four tracers, one favorite.
Every run stays fully editable. You review and sign every number.
✎
Draw the line yourself
Off the norm?
Trace it your way.
When a run defies the tracers, sketch it freehand or click it point by point.
Sketch the run
Free Trace
3Sketch along the run in one motion and it becomes a measurable line. Then hit Align to Color and your rough stroke pulls itself onto the true boundary.
Point to point
Polyline
1Click point to point for total control. Every vertex stays live, and straight edges bend into curves.
▶
Auto count · captured in the app
Every symbol.
Auto-counted.
Doors, outlets, fixtures, plants: mark one and every match on the sheet is counted for you. You just confirm.
Pixel Mode scans & raster PDFs
Object Mode the drawing's own objects
Blurry scan or clean CAD export: one mode reads the sheet like your eyes do, the other counts the objects the drawing itself carries.
Tool Auto Count A captured in the app
1·2·3 Every item gets a number neighbours stay neighbours
Counted items are numbered on the sheet, and nearby items carry nearby numbers. The number becomes the item's address: quote it in a site query, walk the drawing in order to verify a count, and find the exact fixture on the ground long after construction.
Every count stays fully editable. You review and sign every number.
AI Agent · MCP server built in
Beta
Claude and Codex do the clicking.
Our engine does the measuring.
PixelTakeoff ships with a built-in MCP server. Connect Claude Code, Claude Desktop or Codex, ask for the takeoff, and the agent drives our tools over MCP. Every area, length and count comes from the same engine you use, and lands in Work in Progress for you to review.

Depends on the model. What the agent finds depends on the model you connect and how you ask. Counting is where it does best.
You still win. The tools used directly, with a person in the loop, give the best takeoff. The agent's work is a head start you review.
Local MCP, off by default. The MCP endpoint runs on your machine, with tools for area, linear, count, views and markup. Crops the agent asks for go to its model provider, not to us.
