A screenshot without annotations makes people search. "Click the button on the right" becomes a back-and-forth when there are three buttons on the right. Bug reports, how-to guides, design feedback and support replies all go faster when the screenshot shows exactly where to look.
This editor is built for that job. Paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V, add arrows, boxes, text and highlights, blur anything private, and export a PNG at the screenshot’s original resolution, or copy it straight to the clipboard. It runs in your browser, so nothing you paste is uploaded.
Before
Phone screenshot
1170 × 2532
A plain screenshot; the reader has to guess where to look.
After
Annotated PNG
1170 × 2532
Same resolution, with arrows, labels and blurred details.
Measured: a 1170 × 2532 iPhone screenshot exported at 1170 × 2532, and a 4000 × 3000 image at 4000 × 3000. The editor shows a scaled preview, but the export uses the image’s own pixels.
Take a screenshot and press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac) on this page, or drop an image file into the editor.
Pick arrows, shapes, text or highlighters from the toolbar and draw on the image. Change colour and thickness in the properties panel.
Use Blur Area or Pixelate Area over names, emails or account numbers.
Click Export to download a PNG at the original resolution, or press Ctrl+C to copy it and paste it straight into a chat or email.
| Tool | Key | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Arrow | A | Point at a button, setting or error |
| Rectangle / Ellipse | R / O | Outline an area |
| Text | T | Labels, step numbers, short notes |
| Box highlighter | B | Highlight a line of text |
| Freehand draw / highlighter | P / H | Quick circles and underlines |
| Blur area / Pixelate area | U / X | Hide names, emails, faces |
| Select & move / Eraser | V / E | Adjust or remove annotations |
The fastest workflow uses the keyboard. Take a screenshot with your system shortcut (Win+Shift+S on Windows, Cmd+Shift+4 on Mac), switch to this tab and press Ctrl+V. Press A for an arrow, T for text, U to blur, then Ctrl+C to copy the result and paste it into your chat or ticket. You never have to save an intermediate file.
You can also drop an image file into the editor or click to choose one. JPG, PNG and WebP images all work, from phone screenshots to large desktop captures.
A few conventions make annotated screenshots easy to read:
Screenshots often contain more than you intended: email addresses, names in a sidebar, customer data, tokens in a URL. The Blur Area and Pixelate Area tools hide them, and the effect is flattened into the exported image, so it cannot be removed by someone who receives the file.
For very sensitive values such as passwords, card numbers or API keys, a solid box is the safest choice, because a light blur over large, clear text can occasionally be guessed. Use the Redact Image tool for that, then annotate the redacted screenshot here.
The editor shows your screenshot scaled to fit the window, but the exported image is not a copy of that preview. It is drawn again at the screenshot’s own pixel size, with your annotations scaled to match. A 1170 × 2532 phone screenshot exports at 1170 × 2532, and a 4000 × 3000 image at 4000 × 3000. Small text stays readable and nothing is blurred by unnecessary upscaling.
The export is a PNG, which keeps text, thin lines and flat colours crisp. If the file is too large for an email or a form, the Image Compressor can convert it to a smaller JPG or WebP.
For a step-by-step guide, annotate each screenshot with a number and an arrow, then join them into a single image with Stack Images Vertically. For a bug report, put a rectangle around the problem, add a short note about what you expected, and include the full window so developers can see the context. If you need the text from a screenshot rather than a picture of it, Screenshot to Text extracts it.
Screenshots are some of the most sensitive images people share: internal dashboards, invoices, private messages. Everything in this editor runs locally in your browser. The image you paste is not uploaded, stored or logged, and there is no account or watermark.
Each tool has a single-letter shortcut, shown in the table above and in the toolbar tooltips: V to select, A for arrows, R for rectangles, T for text, U to blur and E for the eraser. Shortcuts are ignored while you are typing in a text box, so they never interfere with your labels. Combined with paste and copy, you can annotate and share a screenshot without touching the mouse more than a few times.
Annotated screenshots are often viewed on a phone, where they are shown much smaller than on your monitor. Use thicker lines and larger text than you think you need, especially on large desktop screenshots, which are scaled down the most. Choose one high-contrast colour, such as red or bright orange on light interfaces, and keep labels to a few words. If only part of the screen matters, crop the screenshot first with the Image Cropper; a tight crop makes everything larger on a small screen and removes distracting details at the same time.
Show a customer exactly which setting to change.
Mark the broken element and add a note for developers.
Circle spacing, colour or copy issues on a mockup.
Number the steps of a process on each screenshot.
Take a screenshot (for example with Win+Shift+S on Windows or Cmd+Shift+4 on Mac), then press Ctrl+V or Cmd+V anywhere on this page. It opens in the editor immediately.
No. The editor shows a scaled-down preview to fit your screen, but the export uses the image’s own size. In our tests a 1170 × 2532 phone screenshot exported at exactly 1170 × 2532.
Choose the Arrow tool (or press A) and drag from where the arrow should start to what it should point at. Use the properties panel to change its colour and thickness.
Yes. Choose Blur Area (U) or Pixelate Area (X) and drag over the part to hide. The effect is baked into the exported image.
For highly sensitive text, a solid black box is safest, because light blur on large text can sometimes be guessed. Use the Redact Image tool to black out such details.
Yes. Press Ctrl+C (Cmd+C) or use the copy button and paste the annotated image straight into Slack, Teams, email or a document.
Yes. Use undo and redo, select an annotation to move or resize it, or remove it with the eraser.
No. Annotation and export happen in your browser. Screenshots of private chats, dashboards or documents never leave your device.
PNG, which keeps text and thin lines sharp. If you need a smaller file, compress it with the Image Compressor.
Yes. Any JPG, PNG or WebP image works, including camera photos. Large photos are exported at their full size.
