Annotation Editor

Mark up screenshots
without leaving the app.

Arrows, shapes, text, numbered callouts, freehand drawing, and a blur tool for sensitive info. Every tool has a single-key shortcut. Annotate, copy to clipboard, paste — all in one flow.

Every tool you need,
one key away.

D

Freehand drawing

Draw anything directly on your screenshot. Circle something important, underline text, sketch an arrow by hand. Three stroke widths available.

A

Arrows

Point at exactly what matters. Click the start point, drag to the end. Clean, straight arrows that make your point immediately clear.

S

Shapes

Rectangles, ellipses, diamonds, and lines. Outline a region, highlight a section, or frame an important element. All shapes are stroke-only so they don't obscure content.

T

Text labels

Click anywhere to add a text label. Type your note, pick a color, done. Useful for adding context, naming elements, or writing step numbers.

C

Numbered callouts

Auto-incrementing numbered markers. Click to place callout 1, 2, 3, and so on. Perfect for step-by-step instructions, labeling UI elements, or referencing specific areas.

X

Redaction / blur

Drag over sensitive information to blur it out. Personal data, API keys, email addresses — blur them before sharing. The original pixels are destroyed, not just hidden.

Colors, strokes,
and full undo.

Six colors

Pick from six predefined colors that stand out on any background. Switch colors between annotations to keep things organized.

Three stroke widths

Thin for subtle markups, medium for normal use, thick for emphasis. Each tool respects the current stroke width setting.

Ctrl+Z to undo

Made a mistake? Undo it. The full annotation history is preserved so you can step back through every change you made.
