Add arrows to an image
Drag on the image to draw an arrow from where you start to where you let go. Arrows scale with the image, so they look right on small screenshots and large photos alike.

Frequently asked questions
How do I draw an arrow?+
With the Arrow tool selected, press where the arrow should start, drag to where it should point, and let go. The arrowhead is added at the end.
Can I change the colour?+
Yes. Pick one of the eight colours in the toolbar before drawing. Each arrow keeps the colour it was drawn with.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?+
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so the file never leaves your device. Closing the tab discards it.
Which image formats can I open?+
PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, SVG, BMP and, in recent browsers, AVIF. For a GIF, only the first frame is used. The result is always saved as a PNG.
Does it reduce the image quality?+
No. Your marks are drawn onto a copy at the image’s full resolution, and PNG is lossless. Very large images (over about 16 megapixels) are scaled down so browsers can handle them.
Is it free? Do I need an account?+
Yes, it’s free and there’s no signup, watermark or daily limit. An account is only needed if you want teammates or clients to comment on the file in edits.io.
Need feedback, not just a file?
Click anywhere on mockups, screenshots and artwork to leave precise comments. Clients comment with a link, no account needed.
