Editing & Beautification
Annotations, themes, backdrops, watermarks, and the full Snappix editor toolkit.
After capturing a screenshot, the Snappix editor gives you a complete toolkit to annotate and beautify your images.
Annotation Tools
Text
Add text labels anywhere on your screenshot. Customize font, size, color, and background.
Shapes
Draw rectangles, circles, and rounded rectangles. Use filled or outline styles with adjustable colors and border width.
Arrows & Lines
Point out specific elements with arrows and lines. Adjust thickness, color, and arrow head style.
Blur & Redact
Protect sensitive information:
- Manual blur — Drag over areas to apply pixelated or gaussian blur
- Auto-Redact — Snappix automatically detects and blurs emails, phone numbers, and addresses
Numbered Steps
Add numbered markers (①②③) to create step-by-step tutorials. Numbers auto-increment as you place them.
Theme System
Themes let you transform a plain screenshot into a professional visual asset with one click.
Preset Themes
