Can I move or edit text after adding it?

Yes. You can drag text boxes to reposition them, double-click to edit the wording, or press Delete to remove them.

Does the text render cleanly on high-DPI Retina screens?

Yes. Canvas rendering is calibrated to your device pixel ratio, ensuring text rasterizes with crisp edges on export.

Readable labels on complex backgrounds

Placing plain text on screenshots often leads to poor legibility when text crosses light and dark UI elements. Screenshot Editor provides auto-contrasting pill backgrounds and stroke options so your notes remain readable across any interface.

Combined with arrows and markers

Pair your text annotations with directional arrows or highlight boxes to create unambiguous documentation in seconds.

If you have private API credentials or user secrets visible next to your annotations, redact them using our blur screenshot tool before submitting your pull request or bug ticket.
