Click the tray icon and select a filename. The workspace opens with an empty editor until you choose a capture; arrow keys move between filenames and load the selected item directly.
The full filename appears above the editor controls. Long names wrap instead of being cut off.
Edit and export#
Annotate with arrows, shapes, text, ink, highlights, numbered steps, or pixelation. Crop the image, manage layers, and undo/redo edits. Use Redact for an opaque black cover over sensitive content.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Save | Updates the capture while retaining a private original and editable annotation sidecar. |
| Copy | Copies the edited image without saving it. |
| Export | Creates a separate flattened PNG/JPEG with optional resizing, padding, background, rounded corners, and shadow. Does not replace the editable capture. |
| Import image | Adds an existing PNG/JPEG/BMP without changing the clipboard. |
Export remembers your last style. Save named presets to reuse a look; up to 50 presets are supported. Flattened exports omit AI/OCR text metadata.
Choose any color, including transparency. The preview beside the controls shows your tool, color and thickness before you draw. Editing pointers change with the tool; the normal pointer returns outside the canvas.
Warning Redacting the visible image does not erase its private original or editable sidecar. Saved redactions remove old AI/OCR text metadata, but originals can still contain sensitive content. Share only the flattened exported image, not the application-data folder or a backup containing originals. Pixelation is not the same as opaque redaction.
