Tool details and privacy
Write on a picture or screenshot in Arabic or English, and add arrows, numbers and rectangles to explain a step or point out a problem, then download the image.
Marks scale with the picture, so they stay clear on a small screenshot and on a large photo alike, and the download matches what you see.

- Up to 40 marks per image, and numbers from 1 to 99.

Privacy
The image and what you draw on it stay in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Questions
How do I add text to an image?
Choose “Text”, type your words in the text box, then click the picture where you want them. Arabic is written right to left with joined letters.
How do I draw an arrow on a screenshot?
Choose “Arrow”, then drag from the starting point to what you want to point at; the arrow head sits where the drag ends.
Is my original image changed?
No. The download is a new file whose name ends in “annotated”; your original stays as it was.
Can I use it without a mouse?
Yes. By touch: tap to place text and numbers, and drag to draw arrows and rectangles. With a keyboard: move to the picture, steer the pointer with the arrow keys and press Enter to place the mark.
