Add direction, context and detail to anything on your screen. Give people a clear picture of what you mean.
A design to review. A problem to explain. An idea to develop.
Capture any part of your screen, open an image or paste one from your clipboard. Add your notes where they make sense, then share the picture with the people who need it.
Keyboard shortcuts and multi-monitor capture keep SnipMaker close to the work, whether you’re reviewing a small detail or a larger layout.
Combine precise pointers with expressive markup. Keep the focus on your idea, not on the tools.
Arrows and callouts connect a comment to the detail it describes. Position the note and adjust the pointer independently, so your annotations follow the layout—not the other way around.
Arrows · Arrow + Text · Independent positioningPut the explanation in the picture. Editable text boxes let you refine a comment, distinguish a question from an instruction, and use typography and colour to set the right emphasis.
Editable text · Font and colour controls · Text fittingTurn a complex screen into a simple walkthrough. Number the steps in a guide or handover, with markers sized to suit the detail and styled to match the rest of your notes.
Numbered markers · Three sizes · Saved preferences

Then shareOutline a change with shapes, draw a freehand line or connect a path point by point. From a rough concept to a precise correction, choose the mark that communicates best.
Highlight a passage without hiding the text. A vertical nib lays down a broad sweep of colour as you move across the words.
Crop the image to focus the conversation, or soften distracting detail with a blur box or brush. Keep the result focused on the point you’re making.
Blur is a visual effect, not secure redaction. Remove sensitive details before sharing an image.
Keep the thinking behind the image.
Your local Snip Library stores captures with their editable annotations. Reopen a snip when the design changes, the issue is resolved or the guide needs another step.
Move annotations individually or select several to adjust them together. Save your preferred fonts, colours and marker size, so the next snip starts in your style.
Copy the finished image into a conversation, document or support ticket. Your editable original stays in the library.
Explain a layout change, compare details or develop an idea without separating the feedback from the design.
Show where an issue appears and what should happen instead. Give a support team or developer a useful visual reference.
Break a task into visible steps. Help colleagues and customers understand what to do and where to begin.

WINDOWS SCREENSHOT WORKFLOW
SnipMaker combines Windows screen capture with practical screenshot annotation: select the detail you need, add arrows, text, highlights or numbered markers, then copy the result into the conversation where it belongs.
For work that changes over time, keep the editable project in the Snip Library rather than starting again. SnipMaker is designed for product feedback, software support, requirements, documentation, training notes and everyday visual explanations.
