Stuck Pixel Fixer
A tool to repair stuck pixels on your monitor. Drag the box over the stuck pixel and run for at least 10-20 minutes.
What is a Stuck Pixel?
A stuck pixel is a pixel that remains fixed on a particular color (red, green, or blue). Unlike dead pixels which are completely off, stuck pixels may be repairable with software.
How it works: Rapidly changing random colors stimulate the pixel's transistor, encouraging it to return to normal operation. Most stuck pixels recover within 10-20 minutes.
Alternative Repair Methods
Pressure/Massage Method: Gently rub or press the affected area with a soft cloth. This helps spread the liquid crystal. It's more effective when combined with this tool.
Power Off and Rest: Turn off the monitor and leave it for 24+ hours. Problems caused by overuse may naturally recover.
Wait: Stuck pixels often fix themselves over time.
Note: This tool only works on stuck pixels. Physically damaged dead pixels (completely black spots) cannot be repaired with software.
Good to Know
Stuck pixels are surprisingly common on LCD and OLED monitors, but most of them can be recovered. Here are answers to the questions people ask most often about pixel fixing.
How It Works
The pixel fixer displays rapidly changing color patterns at the stuck pixel location to repair it. RGB values cycle randomly at high speed (60fps) to electrically stimulate the transistor. This method may restore stuck pixels to normal operation but is ineffective for dead pixels (physical damage).

What is a Pixel Fixer?
A pixel fixer is an online tool designed to repair stuck pixels on LCD and OLED displays using software-based methods. It works by rapidly cycling random colors (noise) over the affected pixel area, which stimulates the stuck transistor and may restore it to normal operation. This approach uses the same principle as JScreenFix and similar tools, and it runs directly in your browser without any software installation.
User Guide
- First, run the Dead Pixel Test to identify the exact location of stuck pixels
- Select the repair box size (100px for small areas, 300px for larger areas)
- Drag the flashing repair box directly over the stuck pixel
- Click "Run in Fullscreen" to start the repair process
- Run for at least 10-20 minutes, then press ESC to exit and check results
Core Features
- Random color noise pattern for effective stuck pixel repair
- Draggable repair box for precise positioning over affected pixels
- Adjustable box sizes: 100px, 200px, and 300px options
- Fullscreen mode for optimal repair environment
- No installation required; runs entirely in your browser
When This Comes in Handy
- When a bright dot stuck in a single color appears on your monitor
- When red, green, or blue spots show up on a laptop display
- Checking and repairing pixels on a newly purchased monitor
- When you notice pixel anomalies during gaming or video playback
- Attempting a self-repair before sending a device for warranty service
Common Questions
Q: How long should I run the pixel fixer?
Most stuck pixels respond within 10-20 minutes. For stubborn cases, try 30 minutes to 1 hour. If there is no improvement after several hours of total treatment, the pixel is likely dead rather than stuck.
Q: What is the difference between stuck and dead pixels?
A stuck pixel is locked to a specific color (red, green, or blue) and remains lit. A dead pixel is completely off, showing as a black dot. This tool can only fix stuck pixels. Dead pixels require hardware repair or warranty replacement.
Q: Will this damage my screen?
Under normal usage, it is completely safe. The rapid color cycling is similar in intensity to standard video playback. However, on OLED displays, avoid running in the same position for several hours straight to prevent potential burn-in.
Q: Can it fix all types of bad pixels?
Only stuck pixels can be repaired with software methods. Dead pixels and hot pixels (always bright white) are caused by physical hardware damage and cannot be fixed through software. Contact your manufacturer for those issues.
Q: Can I fix multiple stuck pixels at once?
Using the 300px box size can cover multiple nearby stuck pixels simultaneously. However, for pixels that are far apart, it is more effective to fix them one at a time by repositioning the repair box.
Q: Does it work on laptops and tablets?
Yes, it works on any display that can run a web browser, including laptops, desktop monitors, and tablets. Running in fullscreen mode provides the best results on any device.
Q: What else can I try if the software method fails?
If software repair does not work, you can try the gentle pressure method: use a soft cloth to lightly press the affected area while displaying colors. Leaving the monitor completely off for 24 hours and trying again is another option.
Q: What is the typical success rate?
Approximately 60-80% of stuck pixels can be recovered using software methods. The sooner you attempt repair after discovering a stuck pixel, the higher the chance of success.
Q: Can a fixed pixel become stuck again?
It is uncommon but possible. A pixel that has been stuck before has a slightly higher chance of recurrence. If it happens again, simply repeat the repair process, which usually resolves it.
