Installing

Get Pixy connected to your website quickly, on localhost, staging, or production.

Installing

How do I install Pixy?

One script tag in the <head> of your site. No build step, no package, nothing to run. The snippet on your project card already carries your project key. See Install.

Which frameworks does it work with?

All of them. Pixy attaches to the page after your framework has rendered it, so React, Next, Svelte, Astro, Django and Shopify are the same job, and so is anything else that ends up as a page. See Compatibility.

Can I use Pixy without touching my code?

Yes. The Chrome extension works with no tag on the page.

Does it work on localhost, or behind a login?

Yes, and on staging and production too. Pixy has no idea what an environment is. An edit is scoped by the browser you approved and the URL you are on, so the same tag goes everywhere you design.

Is it safe to leave the tag on production?

Yes. The key in the tag names the project and grants nothing. For a visitor who has not approved that browser, which is everyone, the loader reads one value out of local storage and stops. What it costs them is a small cached file.

Will my visitors see a Pixy button?

No. The button only shows when the address carries ?pixy-connect, which you add yourself to connect your browser. See Authorize.
