A screenshot annotation tool for Windows. Mark it up in place, before you let go.
Most tools make annotation a second step: capture, wait, open a separate editor, then start drawing. QuipShot puts the markup right inside the capture overlay, so you draw the box, add the arrow and ship the shot without ever opening another window.
What in-place annotation does for you
Annotate the moment you capture, with a full set of tools, and never break your flow to open a separate editor.
Fourteen annotation tools live right in the capture overlay: arrows, boxes, lines, circles, freehand, highlighter, text, numbered steps, emoji, spotlight and more.
An eraser rubs any annotation back to the photo underneath, never a black smudge, even over a blur, with its own size set apart from your pen.
Live blur and pixelate hide anything sensitive before the shot ever leaves your screen, with undo and redo throughout.
Need more room? The full editor is one click from the thumbnail, where every arrow and label stays a separate object you can move or re-edit later.
How to annotate a screenshot
- 1
Capture your shot
Select a region, window or screen from the capture overlay.
- 2
Mark it up in place
Reach for any of the fourteen tools right there: arrows, boxes, text, numbered steps, blur.

Fix and refine
Use the eraser to take back any mark cleanly, or undo and redo as you go.

Ship it
It's copied and saved. Drag it out, or open the full editor for layered, re-editable markup.
Why QuipShot's annotation flows better
Marking up in the overlay, before you let go, removes the slowest part of most tools: the trip to a separate editor. You get fourteen tools plus a true eraser in place, live blur to hide sensitive details, and a full layered editor one click away when a shot needs more. It's all native and instant, so annotating a shot never costs you momentum.
