The Annotator

Where to find it#

The Annotator marks up screenshots and any other image: arrows, shapes, text, highlights, blur and redaction. It is the same editor in three places:

• On this website, at /annotator, in any modern browser, with no extension and no account.
• In the extension: open it from the side panel's Settings (More from Nitpique, Annotator) or by right-clicking the Nitpique toolbar icon and choosing Open the Annotator.
• Straight from a capture: with Output set to Annotate, a capture opens in it, in a new tab beside the page.

Start in one click#

With nothing open, the Annotator offers three ways in: Try a sample, a web page with a few marks already on it to move, change or delete; Blank canvas, a white board to sketch on; or Open your images.

Opening images#

Open chooses images from your computer (Ctrl⌘+O). You can also drop images anywhere on the page, or paste one you copied. PNG, JPEG, WebP and GIF all work.

Each image opens in a tab of its own at the top, with its own marks and its own undo. Switch with the tabs, the round arrows at the window's sides, or Alt⌥+← and Alt⌥+→. With many tabs the strip scrolls; the arrows at its ends page through it. The × on a tab closes that image, and asks first if its marks are not copied or saved.
