About PixaFind

PixaFind indexes local files and enables search by meaning rather than exact keywords. It supports over 76 file formats including documents, images, code, spreadsheets, and emails. Users can ask questions in plain English to retrieve relevant files even when the exact terms are absent. The tool runs entirely offline, with all AI models executing on the user’s hardware and no data leaving the machine. Indexing occurs in the background at low priority, allowing continued PC use while files are processed. Searches return results in under 100ms once indexing completes. The application is available for Windows and Mac with no account creation or API keys required.

Frequently asked questions about PixaFind

Does PixaFind work 100% offline?

Yes. All AI models run locally on your hardware, and no network calls are made. Network traffic audits confirm zero outbound connections, ensuring your files never leave your machine.

What hardware do I need to run PixaFind?

PixaFind requires Windows 10 or later, 4 GB of RAM, and about 300 MB of disk space. An NVIDIA GPU accelerates indexing, but it is not required; the tool works on CPU as well.

How is PixaFind different from Windows Search?

Windows Search matches keywords, while PixaFind understands meaning. It can find documents even when exact words are absent and reads inside files like PDFs, DOCX, and PPTX, unlike Windows Search.

How does image search work in PixaFind?

A vision AI model encodes images and text queries into the same vector space. You can describe an image in plain English, and PixaFind finds matching photos by visual similarity without relying on tags or filenames.

What file formats does PixaFind support?

PixaFind supports over 76 file formats, including PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, TXT, Markdown, HTML, EPUB, source code files (Python, JavaScript, C++, etc.), emails, and images (JPG, PNG, WebP).

Do I need an account or API key to use PixaFind?

No account creation, API key, or sign-up is required. You can download, extract, and run the application immediately. The AI models download automatically on first launch.
