Choose a Marker
Select an arrow, text label, or numbered marker, then click the preview to place it.
03
Adjust or Undo
Move the latest annotation with the controls or keyboard, change its color or size, or undo it.
04
Export and Inspect
Download a flattened PNG, reopen it, and inspect every visible pixel before sharing.
