Screenshot markup tools
Everything you need to point, explain, hide and review.
Capture is designed for practical visual communication, from a quick arrow on a screenshot to structured QA feedback with numbered review notes.
□
Boxes & circles
Outline sections, components and visual defects with editable shapes, fills and opacity.
T
Text
Type directly on the screenshot with size, bold, italic, alignment and color controls.
▰
Highlight
Emphasize important text, controls or sections without covering the underlying content.
✎
Pen
Draw freehand marks when a quick visual note is faster than a structured shape.
▧
Blur
Conceal names, emails, account details and other sensitive information before sharing.
▦
Pixelate
Obscure private content using adjustable pixel blocks while keeping the redacted region obvious.
#
Numbered callouts
Create step-by-step visual feedback with editable labels, styles, titles, review notes and priorities.
Protect before you share
Blur and pixelate sensitive screenshot information locally.
Screenshot annotation is often used on dashboards, invoices, customer portals and internal tools. Privacy controls should be part of the editor, not an afterthought.
Designed for private information
Use blur or pixelation on email addresses, names, account identifiers, financial values, patient/customer information or anything else that should not appear in the final image.
Capture's privacy effect remains applied when its mask appearance is adjusted, so opacity controls do not simply reveal the original sensitive content underneath.

How it works
From webpage to clear visual feedback in four steps.
Capture
Use Full Page, Visible Screen, Select Area, Select Element or a responsive-device viewport.
Mark up
Add arrows, shapes, text, highlights, pen marks or numbered callouts exactly where they are needed.
Protect
Blur or pixelate private information and crop away anything that does not belong in the final screenshot.
Deliver
Copy the image, download WebP/PNG, create a presentation, or turn review notes into a professional report.
Built for real review work
More useful than sending a raw screenshot and a paragraph of instructions.
QA & bug reports
Mark the exact broken component, add a numbered issue and explain what should change.
Design feedback
Comment on hierarchy, spacing, alignment, typography and responsive behavior visually.
Customer support
Add simple arrows and instructions to show customers exactly where to click or what to enter.
Documentation
Create cleaner visual instructions using numbered callouts, highlighted controls and short labels.
Developer handoff
Pair visual annotations with review notes and priority so implementation questions are reduced.
Client reviews
Turn marked-up screenshots into branded review reports or presentation-ready visuals.
Screenshot editor in Chrome
Why annotate screenshots instead of explaining everything in text?
A screenshot already provides visual context. Annotation adds intent. An arrow can identify one control immediately, a box can define the exact affected area, and a short label can replace several sentences describing where a problem appears.
Annotate a full page screenshot
Capture is not limited to the visible part of a webpage. A long scrolling screenshot can be opened in the same editor, marked up and cropped using controls designed for very tall captures.
Annotate selected areas or elements
If you only need one component, capture a selected region or DOM element first. You can then add the same arrows, shapes, text, blur, pixelation and callouts without editing an unnecessarily large image.
Private screenshot markup
A screenshot annotation tool should not require uploading every screenshot.
Capture is designed around local screenshot processing. Normal capture, stitching and annotation happen on your computer, allowing you to review and redact an image before it leaves your device.
Screenshot blur and pixelation
Blur and pixelation help prepare screenshots containing information that should not be shared. They are useful for internal dashboards, account portals, invoices, CRM screens, admin tools and support screenshots.
From annotation to structured review
For deeper reviews, numbered callouts can carry a title, note and priority. Pro workflows can collect those issues into review reports and multi-screenshot PDF deliverables.

Screenshot annotation FAQ
Common questions about editing and marking up screenshots.
How do I annotate a screenshot in Chrome?+
Capture the page or area you need, then use Capture's built-in editor to add arrows, text, boxes, circles, highlights, freehand marks, callouts, blur, pixelation or crop.
Can I blur text or private information?+
Yes. Blur and pixelate tools are available for concealing sensitive information before the screenshot is copied or downloaded.
Does Capture upload my screenshot so I can edit it?+
Normal screenshot capture and editing are designed to happen locally on your computer. The screenshot image does not need to be uploaded to RATdeck for normal annotation workflows. Account and subscription communication is separate.
Can I add arrows and text after I place them?+
Annotations remain editable. Existing annotations can be selected and moved, and supported properties such as color, size, thickness, direction, alignment or fill can be adjusted.
Can I annotate a long full-page screenshot?+
Yes. Full-page captures open in the same editor. Long-page crop controls include Fit Page, Fit Width and numeric crop boundaries to make very tall screenshots easier to work with.
Can I create a professional report from annotated screenshots?+
Yes. Pro review workflows can combine callouts, notes, priorities, branding and multiple screenshots into professional reports and PDFs.
