What an annotated screenshot looks like

A highlight on the line that matters, numbered steps in order, and an arrow on the button to press: the same treatments you apply in the editor.

Everything You Reach for When You Annotate

The Annotate palette lives under Assets in the editor. Every tool below is on the free plan.

Arrows, connectors, and lines

Straight or curved arrows for pointing, plus draggable connectors you can bend until the tip sits on exactly the right pixel. Lines mark boundaries and underline what matters without covering it.

Add arrows to a screenshot

Auto-numbered step badges

Click where step one happens and a 1 appears. Click again: 2. Again: 3. No typing numbers into circles by hand, and if you reorder the walkthrough later, the number on any badge is editable.

Number your steps

Highlight marker

A translucent yellow wash that runs over a line of text like a real highlighter, so the reader's eye lands on the field, setting, or sentence you mean while the text underneath stays legible.

Highlight the important line

Blur and redact

Region blur hides an email, name, or key. Spotlight mode inverts it: everything blurs except the area you choose. And when blurred is not hidden enough, a solid redact ink bar makes content unreadable for good.

Hide the sensitive bits

Redacting more than a line or two? The blur screenshot page walks through region blur, spotlight blur, and redaction in depth.

Numbered Steps Without the Busywork

Most annotation tools treat numbered steps as text you type into a circle: place a shape, open the label, type "1", repeat, and hope you never have to reorder them. Screenhance treats numbering as the tool's job. Pick the step badge, click where step one happens, and the badge arrives already numbered; each click after that increments automatically, so a five-step walkthrough is five clicks, not five clicks plus five edits.

That matters most to the people who annotate screenshots all day: the person writing the onboarding doc, the support agent answering "where do I find that setting?" for the tenth time, the QA engineer showing the exact click path that triggers a bug. Number the steps, run the highlight marker over the field the user needs to fill in, and pull an arrow from your note to the button it describes. When the flow changes and step three becomes step two, edit the digit on the badge instead of rebuilding the sequence.

Made for the People Who Explain Things

A screenshot with the right annotations replaces a paragraph of instructions. Three jobs it does especially well:

Tutorials and documentation

Auto-numbered steps plus the highlight marker turn a raw screenshot into a walkthrough. Keep the same badge and arrow styling across a whole guide so every page reads as one document.

Support replies

Point at the exact setting instead of describing where it lives. An arrow and a highlight in a reply closes tickets faster than three sentences of “top right, no, the other menu.”

Bug reports

Circle the broken state with an arrow, number the steps to reproduce, and blur the account data before it lands in a public issue tracker. One image, whole report.

How It Works

Create professional mockups in three simple steps. No design skills required.

Step 1

Upload your screenshot

Drag and drop or select any screenshot, design, or image from your device.

Step 2

Choose frame & background

Pick from iPhone, iPad, MacBook, browser frames and beautiful gradient backgrounds.

Step 3

Export & share

Download as PNG, WebP, JPEG, GIF, or video. Ready for marketing in seconds.

Why Choose Screenhance?

Two capabilities that separate Screenhance from every other mockup tool in 2026: animated exports and App Store screenshot localization.

Animated GIF & WebM exports

Template-driven motion — float, reveal, parallax. Export animated mockups at Product Hunt, landing-page, and Twitter/X dimensions. Most mockup tools are static-only.

App Store localization in 80+ languages

One master design, per-locale captions, every required Apple and Google Play size per language. RTL and CJK support. Apple reports localized listings drive 2-3x install lifts.

Every required Apple & Google size

iPhone 17 Pro Max (1320×2868), iPhone Air (1260×2736), iPad Pro M4 (2064×2752), and the full Google Play set — exported from one design in a single pass.

30 seconds, zero design skills

Pick a template, drop in your screenshot, export. No Figma, no Photoshop, no learning curve. Free tier covers 3 exports a month; $6 Week Pass unlocks unlimited for a launch.

Annotated does not have to mean ugly

The quiet problem with most screenshot markup is that it looks like markup: jagged red arrows, mismatched circles, the unmistakable texture of something drawn in a hurry. That is fine for a one-off Slack message; it is not fine for the docs page a thousand customers will read. Screenhance's annotations come from the same design system as the rest of the screenshot editor, so arrows, badges, and highlights land clean and consistent by default.

It also means annotation is not a separate stop in your pipeline. The editor that draws your arrows also does device frames, backgrounds, text, and cropping, so you can annotate a screenshot and make it presentation-ready in the same pass: frame it, set it on a background, add a caption, export. If the polish side is what you are after, the screenshot beautifier page covers that half of the workflow.

And when a screenshot contains something the world should not see, you do not need a second tool for that either: blur it in region or spotlight mode, or strike it out with the redact bar, right next to the arrow you just drew. The blur screenshot guide goes deeper on when to blur and when to redact. One editor, in the browser, exporting PNG, WebP, or JPEG.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the screenshot annotation tool free?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 exports per month with a subtle watermark, and every annotation tool is available on it: arrows, connectors, lines, the highlight marker, numbered step badges, blur, and redact. Paid plans remove the watermark and lift the export cap, but for occasional annotation work the free tier is genuinely usable.

Do I need to sign up to annotate a screenshot?

Not to edit. The editor opens straight from the browser with no account, so you can drop in a screenshot, add your arrows and steps, and see the finished result before deciding anything. You create an account at the moment you export, and the free plan covers that first export.

How do the auto-numbered step badges work?

Select the step badge in the Annotate palette and click where each step happens. The first click places a 1, the second a 2, the third a 3, with no typing. If you reorder your instructions later, the number on any badge is editable, so you change the digit instead of deleting and re-placing the whole sequence.

Can I blur or redact sensitive information in the same tool?

Yes. The blur tool has two modes: region mode blurs a specific area, like an email address or an API key, while spotlight mode blurs the entire screenshot except the area you choose, which focuses attention and hides everything else in one move. For content that must be completely unreadable rather than blurred, there is a solid redact ink bar that covers it outright.

What formats can I export annotated screenshots in?

PNG, WebP, and JPEG. PNG keeps crisp edges on arrows, badges, and text, which makes it the usual choice for documentation. WebP gives you smaller files for web publishing, and JPEG works when a tool in your workflow requires it.

Is it good for tutorials, documentation, and support replies?

That is the main use case. The auto-numbered step badges turn a screenshot into a walkthrough without manual numbering, the highlight marker points readers to the exact field or line, and arrows connect a caption to the thing it describes. Because the same editor also does device frames, backgrounds, and text, the finished image looks like it belongs in your docs rather than something marked up in a hurry.
