The feature Photoshop never had

A Procreate-style timelapse,for Photoshop.

Procreate artists get a gorgeous timelapse of every piece automatically. Photoshop gives you nothing. PixelRec closes that gap — it records your process and exports a ready-to-post video, no button to press.

The timelapse habit, without leaving your canvas.

If you moved to Photoshop for the power and missed Procreate's effortless timelapses, this is the piece that was missing.

What you love in Procreate

You draw, and Procreate quietly captures the whole thing. At the end there is a timelapse waiting — no setup, no thinking about it, no record button.

What PixelRec brings to Photoshop

The same magic, your real tools. PixelRec runs inside Photoshop and does exactly that — automatic capture, one-click export — so you keep your brushes, layers, and workflow.

Why Photoshop artists switch to it

Everything you missed
from Procreate

Automatic capture, clean exports, and social-ready formats — the effortless timelapse flow, now on desktop Photoshop.

No record button

It starts capturing when you start working — the same set-and-forget flow Procreate spoiled you with.

Idle time removed

Long pauses get trimmed automatically, so the timelapse feels fast and finished on its own.

Post-sized exports

Export straight to YouTube, Shorts, Reels, and TikTok sizes — up to 4K, no second app, no re-cropping.

Does Photoshop have a timelapse feature?

The honest version.

Photoshop has no built-in timelapse, and it never has. PixelRec is the closest thing to Procreate's one-tap timelapse — built for the app you actually paint in.

Automatic, like Procreate

It captures in the background while you paint, draw, retouch, or design — no need to remember to press record.

Desktop power Procreate can't match

Full Photoshop on Mac and Windows, with your real brushes and layers — plus 4K export at 2× to 100× speed.

Made for posting

Every piece becomes process content for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, X, Behance, or your portfolio — ready to share.

FAQ

Coming from Procreate? Start here.

No — Photoshop has never included one. PixelRec adds it: automatic recording and a one-click export, the same effortless idea Procreate artists rely on.
The experience is the same: it records in the background and gives you a finished video. The difference is it runs on desktop Photoshop, exports up to 4K at 2× to 100× speed, and gives you sizes for YouTube, Shorts, Reels, and TikTok.
No. It captures automatically while you work, just like Procreate does in the background.
You can, but OBS records your entire screen in real time and leaves you to speed up and trim it by hand. PixelRec captures only the canvas session and skips idle time, so the timelapse is ready without editing.
Yes. PixelRec Pro supports both macOS and Windows, on Adobe Photoshop 2022 through 2026.
