Annotate an image online
Mark up a photo, mockup or screenshot with numbered pins, arrows, boxes and text, blur anything private, and download the result. It all happens in your browser.
How to use the annotate image tool
- 1
Add your image
Drop a file, pick one from your device, or paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V (⌘+V on a Mac).
- 2
Mark it up
Choose a tool from the toolbar and click or drag on the image. Use Undo if you change your mind.
- 3
Download
Save the marked-up image as a PNG at the original resolution, ready to send or attach.
Numbered pins for feedback
Pins number themselves 1, 2, 3 as you add them, so you can refer to “point 2” in your message and everyone knows exactly where you mean.
Blur and redact before you share
Pixelate faces, emails or account numbers, or cover them with a solid block, before the image goes anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
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.
What can I add to the image?+
Numbered pins, arrows, rectangles, text labels, pixelated blur and solid redaction blocks, in eight colours.
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.
