About Annotate Screenshot
Annotate Screenshot is a free online markup bench for screenshots and images. Paste a capture straight from your clipboard (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V), drop it on the page or choose a file, then point things out with arrows and lines, frame them with rectangles and ellipses, mark text with a semi-transparent highlighter, draw freehand with the pen, type labels and drop numbered step badges that count 1, 2, 3 on their own.
Every mark stays a separate, editable object: click it to select it, drag it to move it, pull its handles to resize a box or move the ends of an arrow, change its color, stroke width, fill or size, duplicate it or delete it. Double-click a text to edit it in place, and undo or redo any change. Single-key shortcuts (A for arrow, R for rectangle, T for text, N for numbered steps, B for blur…) make it as fast as a desktop app, and it works with a mouse, a touch screen or a stylus.
The blur tool really pixelates the pixels under the area, so passwords, emails, names or faces cannot be read back, and the crop tool trims the final image to the part that matters. Export a PNG or JPG at the original resolution (the marks scale with it) or copy the result to your clipboard and paste it into a chat, a ticket or a document. Everything runs in your browser: the screenshot is never uploaded.
How to use Annotate Screenshot
- Take a screenshot, then paste it on the page with Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on a Mac), or drop or choose an image file.
- Pick a tool in the toolbar: arrow, line, rectangle, ellipse, highlighter, pen, text, numbered step, blur or crop.
- Choose a color, a stroke width, an outline or filled shape and a text or badge size, then draw on the screenshot.
- Select any mark to move it, resize it, restyle it, duplicate it or delete it; undo and redo are always one click away.
- Blur the private details and crop to the area that matters.
- Download a PNG or JPG at full resolution, or copy the annotated image to your clipboard.
