About Screenshot Tool: Capture, Annotate and Edit Screenshots

Take a screenshot of your whole screen, one window or a browser tab, then mark it up without installing anything. A delay of 3, 5 or 10 seconds gives you time to open a menu or hover over something before the picture is taken. You can also paste an image you already copied with Ctrl+V (or Command+V), or drop in a file.

The editor has the marks you need to explain something: boxes and circles with an optional tinted fill, arrows and lines, a pen and a see-through marker, text with an optional label background, numbered steps that count up by themselves, and a blur tool that pixelates passwords, email addresses or faces. Hold Shift for straight lines and perfect squares. Every mark can be selected, moved or deleted, text can be edited with a double-click, and undo and redo cover every change. Crop to the area that matters at any point.

When you are done, download the result as PNG, JPG or WebP at half, normal or double size, with a quality setting for JPG and WebP, or copy it straight to the clipboard to paste into a chat or document. An optional frame adds padding, a background colour, rounded corners and a shadow. The image never leaves your device.

How to use it

  1. Click Capture screen and choose what to share, or paste or drop an image.
  2. Pick a tool such as Arrow, Box, Text, Number or Blur and draw on the screenshot.
  3. Crop, move or delete marks and undo anything you do not want.
  4. Choose PNG, JPG or WebP and download, or copy the image to the clipboard.

Questions

How do I screenshot only part of the screen?

Capture the screen, window or tab, then choose Crop, drag over the area you want to keep and click Apply crop. You can reset the crop later without losing your marks.

How do I hide private information?

Use the Blur tool and drag over the text or face. It pixelates that area of the picture in the saved file, and the Strength slider makes the blocks bigger.

Can I edit a screenshot I already took?

Yes. Press Ctrl+V or Command+V on this page to paste it from the clipboard, or drop the image file onto the page.

Which format should I download?

PNG keeps text and lines sharp and is best for most screenshots. JPG and WebP make smaller files, which helps for photos or when a site limits upload size.

Does it work on a phone?

Screen capture is usually only available in desktop browsers, but on a phone you can open a screenshot you already took and annotate it.

Is the screenshot uploaded anywhere?

No. Capturing, editing and saving all happen in your browser.
