Get a sneak peek of how PixelParallel works:
Why did we build PixelParallel?
The idea of building PixelParallel arose naturally from the necessity we felt of a tool that would save us time and accelerate our coding process. We wanted to build a handy, light, and functional solution to easily compare our HTML markup with the design when coding. PixelParallel is not the first free pixel perfect tool out there but it is the first of its kind with so many functionalities, all working towards the goal of making our and your life easier.
How is PixelParallel different from other similar tools?
We wanted to build a really effective solution that would make the working process of every front-end developer and QA much smoother.

Why are we releasing it to everyone for free?
Contributing to community may be optional for many but for us, giving back is a necessary choice. It means that we all join forces and work together for the development of the web. Receiving requires giving first and this is a philosophy that we abide by every day. We are often quite appreciative ourselves for other people’s inventions that we use in our daily workflow. So, we felt it’s our duty to make this a two-way process. What goes around, comes around.
