Is there really no way to disable this? | r/GooglePixel | Page 1

The screenshot tool has a minimum size limit that is way too big imo

old-ish reddit thread, not sure if accurate: https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/s/SC86w7uEzA

Google photos doesn't have this restriction, so why does the screenshot tool have it?

"Google photos doesn't have this restriction, so why does the screenshot tool have it?" Devs don't care, com.google.android.markup is still on version "1.0" for almost 5 years now I think

#

There are no modified apks for this as far as I'm aware

That looks like a completely reasonably sized minimum crop to be quite honest

First world problems

#

I've never tried to crop screen shots that small and don't see the need to in the decades I've used mobile phones. If you really want to crop smaller, just crop small on screenshot and crop again using editing tools.

I screenshot discord messages alot and the minimum size is bigger than 1 message by quite a bit

#

more than discord messages too

#

stuff like the status bar and other tiny things

#

Exactly

#

It works fine the way I see it. I don't understand the objective.

#

Oh. You want just 1 message?

uncut shard Sep 3, 2025, 2:06 AM

#

yes

visual hinge Sep 3, 2025, 2:06 AM

#

Let me try.

uncut shard Sep 3, 2025, 2:06 AM

#

my text and display scale is quite small

visual hinge Sep 3, 2025, 2:07 AM

#

#

Looks ok to me

#

I'm on 10 Pro XL. Let me see if 8 Pro does the same.

#

#

That is my 8 Pro

#

This is the 10 Pro xl if I use edit after a screenshot instead of cropping from screenshot

#

Cropping from screen shot is much better. 😂

The Pixel's built-in screenshot editor sucks compared to other phones tbh. One thing I find weird about it is the share button doesn't let you copy a photo to the clipboard. Yet, you can copy a photo to your clipboard in your browser.

#

Yeah, that is weird. Copy and delete is very useful.

Welcome to arbitrary limitations. It's even worse on QPR1 because the edges sometimes don't drag properly, you can't move the box itself, you have to move the outline, and the outline doesn't show anymore, it just goes darker.

#

okay that seems to have been a beta thing, that has fixed itself

#

Arbitrarily being limited to 380x380 pixels is AWFUL though

Circle to search, circle it, then share and "files by Google" 👍

Your welcome 🙃

uncut shard Sep 3, 2025, 11:13 PM

that's actually a great solution thanks

Only restriction is how fat your fingers are 😭

All good. Lmao I looked at this thread and saw loads of replies thinking someone said it already 😭.

#

Also, if you circle to search, then share. And share it, it doesn't screenshot/ save to gallery. Incase you "screenshot" a lot of random bs, that you don't want to actually save.

circle to search is a neat feature but sometimes (most of the time) it's just wrong

rain citrus Sep 4, 2025, 1:16 AM

Never really had an issue on my end so I can't really say anything to that

Lol. Neat workaround.
