Free tools: frequently asked

Are these really free?

Yes, free to download and use, with no trial and no watermark.

Do I need DaVinci Resolve Studio?

Yes. Every PixelTools DCTL requires DaVinci Resolve Studio. The DCTL effect does not make these tools compatible with free Resolve.

How do I install them?

One click with the free PixelTools installer (macOS & Windows), or drop the file into Resolve's LUT folder manually.

Why give them away?

They showcase the same engineering as our paid tools. We'd rather you feel the quality first.

What do they do?

Exposure/Chart™ maps middle gray and your chosen stops for confident exposure; Checker analyzes images (skin tone, false-color / middle-gray exposure, out-of-range pixels).
