도쿄 3년차인데 아직도 신주쿠역에서는 길을 잃는다. 출구가 200개도 넘는다는 게 말이 됨? 🗼

그래도 결론은 하나: 야마노테선만 붙잡으면 어디든 간다. 오늘의 동선 저장.

Capture, annotation, and output

How do you annotate and share a screenshot?

Press Ctrl + Shift + C to select an area and open the Screenshot Studio. Add pen, highlighter, text, line, arrow, rectangle, or ellipse, then adjust the background, margin, corners, and shadow.

When the screenshot is clear, choose Copy to paste it directly into a ticket, chat, or email, or Save PNG to keep a file. To point at something over a live screen before capturing it, press Ctrl + Shift + D.

Step by step

From a raw crop to a self-explanatory image

A screenshot works best when every mark has one job: point, frame, highlight, or name.

  1. 01

    Capture the evidence

    Press Ctrl + Shift + C and keep only the context someone else needs to orient themselves.

  2. 02

    Use a few clear annotations

    Arrows point, rectangles frame, highlights emphasize, and text explains. Avoid covering the evidence itself.

  3. 03

    Prepare the output

    Adjust margin, background, inner radius, aspect ratio, and shadow so the capture stays distinct where it is pasted.

  4. 04

    Copy or save as PNG

    Paste it into the work channel or keep a file. The original image and captured application remain untouched.

Where it helps

Visual communication for work that needs to continue

Support and bugs

Circle the wrong field, point to the critical message, and give a ticket enough context to avoid another question.

Review and feedback

Mark a detail in an interface, document, or layout without rewriting the entire observation as text.

Teaching and explanation

Combine live screen drawing with a final capture the group can keep and refer back to.

Real limitations

What to know before you capture and send

A screenshot is a copy of what was visible at one moment. Review its content and destination before sharing it.

The output format is PNG

The Studio does not export editable PDFs, video, or layered design files. Annotations are embedded in the final image.

HDR can overexpose the image

On some displays, Windows HDR makes captures too bright. Temporarily toggle it with Win + Alt + B and try again.

Protected screens may be empty

Content protected by Windows or the application can block capture. The tool does not remove that protection.

Sensitive data remains visible

Before copying, check names, email addresses, keys, notifications, and anything else that should not travel with the image.

Common questions about annotated screenshots

Do I have to save before pasting the screenshot?

No. Copy sends the final PNG to the clipboard, ready to paste into a chat, email, document, or ticket.

Can I draw directly over a live screen?

Yes. Ctrl + Shift + D opens a drawing layer over any application. Esc or right-click closes it without changing the app underneath.

Which annotation tools are included?

Pen, highlighter, eraser, text, line, arrow, rectangle, and ellipse, with undo, redo, and clear controls.

Does capturing change the original file or page?

No. Editing happens on a copy inside the Studio. The captured file, website, or application is not modified.

Less text explaining where to look. More clarity in the screenshot.

Install Sincron on Windows and turn your next capture into a message that explains itself.
