Pixie is a software application on Apple's Mac OS X operating system. It is part of Xcode, the Apple Developer Connection's developer toolset.

Pixie is a magnifying glass application. Its purpose is to magnify a small section of the computer's screen, centered around the mouse cursor. This gives the user a detailed view of the screen, as well as the pixel coordinates of the mouse. Pixie allows several levels of zoom, "locking" the image under the mouse for closer examination, and saving the magnified image in several formats.

Pixie's features are useful for detailed examination of an interface, such as determining if GUI elements are aligned precisely. It can also be used to obtain magnified screenshots
