Layered markup
Every annotation stays selectable as its own layer, so you can move it, resize it, hide it, lock it, or reorder it without starting over.
Mark up screenshots and images with layered annotations.
Image Annotator opens any screenshot or still image as a layered markup canvas. Add arrows, boxes, text, step numbers, highlights, freehand notes, blur, pixelation, or redaction, then copy, save, beautify, or pin the final image without losing the original.
