“The button, no, the other button”
Five messages to point at one thing on a page. A circle and an arrow would have done it.
Draw & HighlightAdd to ChromeFor feedback, lessons and bug reports
Circle it. Send it.
Draw right on the page you are reading. Highlight a line, circle a bug, point an arrow, write a note, then save the page as a PNG to drop into chat or a ticket. Marks stay after a reload. Free, no account.

The real extension
Every tool is one click away.
Marker, highlighter, square, circle, arrow, line, text and eraser, with color dots and a stroke slider. Undo and redo with Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y.
Sound familiar?
Explaining a web page in words is slow.
Screenshot, open an editor, draw, export
Four apps to say “this is broken”. By the time you send it, you forgot the second bug.
Students lose your cursor on the shared screen
You need to underline what you are talking about, live, on the page itself.
You read it, you forget what mattered
Highlights on the page that are still there when you come back beat a separate notes file.
How it works
Mark up any page in three steps.
- 1
Press Ctrl+Shift+D
Or click the icon and press Start Drawing. A small toolbar opens on the page you are on.
- 2
Mark it up
Pen, highlighter, arrow, line, box, circle or text, in any color and width. Ctrl+Z undoes a stroke, Ctrl+Y brings it back.
- 3
Save the picture
Save the page with your marks as a PNG to send in chat, a ticket or a lesson. Marks stay on the page after a reload until you clear them.
What it does
A pen, a highlighter and a camera for the web.
Free
Draw and highlight like on paper.
Freehand marker and a see-through highlighter in any color and width. The eraser cleans up mistakes, Ctrl+Z undoes the last stroke.
- Marker + highlighter
- Color dots and stroke width
- Undo / redo: Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Y
Free
Point at the exact thing.
Arrows, lines, boxes and circles snap a shape where you drag, and the text tool writes a note anywhere on the page.
- Arrow, line, square, circle
- Text notes anywhere
Free
Save it as a picture. Find it again tomorrow.

Privacy
Your marks stay on your screen.
Nothing is uploaded
Marks are drawn on a layer in your browser and saved in Chrome storage on your computer. There is no server and no account.
The site is untouched
Nobody else sees your drawings. Reloading or clearing them never changes the website.
Why it can open on any site
So the toolbar works on whatever page you are on and can redraw your saved marks when you come back. It does not read or send page content.
Screenshots stay with you
The PNG is saved to your Downloads folder. Where it goes after that is up to you.

Good to know
Questions before you install.
Does it change the website?
No. Your marks are drawn on a layer over the page in your browser only. Nobody else sees them, and reloading the site does not touch its content.
Do my marks stay after I reload?
Yes. Annotations are saved in Chrome storage for that page and come back when you open it again, until you clear them.
How do I share what I drew?
Save a screenshot of the page with your marks as a PNG, then drop it into Slack, an email, a bug ticket or your slides.
Why does it ask for access to all websites?
So the drawing layer can open on whichever page you are on and redraw saved marks when you come back. It does not read or send page content anywhere.
Is it free?
Yes, every tool on this page is free, with no account and no watermark. A one-time Pro is in the works; leave your email to hear when it is ready.
Stop describing it. Draw on it.
