How to add arrows to a screenshot

Drop or paste the screenshot

PNG keeps UI text sharp. JPG and WebP work too.

Place the arrows

The Annotate panel is open. Add an arrow, drag the ends onto the control, then set color and thickness.

Download the PNG

The arrows are baked into the image, so they stay visible in Slack, Notion, docs, and email.

When an arrow is clearer than a paragraph

Support replies

Point at the exact menu instead of describing it as the third icon from the left.

Tutorial stills

One arrow per step keeps a screenshot sequence readable without a screen recording.

Design reviews

Mark the element you are commenting on so the feedback is attached to the UI, not a vague region.

Release posts

Call out the new control in a Product Hunt or changelog image.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I annotate a screenshot?

Drop or paste the image, then click Add arrow in the Annotate panel. Drag either end to aim it, pick a color, and set the thickness. Download the PNG when the pointer sits on the control you want people to notice.

Can I add more than one arrow?

Yes. Each arrow is its own object. Add as many as the screenshot needs, and drag them independently. They are all included in the exported PNG or JPG.

Can I add a caption as well as arrows?

Yes. Switch to the Text tab for a headline above or below the image. The dedicated Add Text to Screenshot page opens on that panel if the caption is the main job.

Is the screenshot uploaded?

No. Arrows are drawn on a canvas in your browser. The file stays on your device.
