Frequently Asked Questions

- Three ways: drag and drop an image file onto the editor, click the browse button to open a file picker, or press Ctrl+V to paste a screenshot directly from your clipboard.
- How do I blur part of an image?
- Select the Blur tool from the left sidebar (the squares icon). Click and drag over the area you want to pixelate. Use the + / − controls in the floating toolbar to adjust the pixel block size. You can draw multiple blur regions on the same image.
- Can I move or resize an annotation after placing it?

- No. All editing happens entirely in your browser tab. No image data is ever uploaded, transmitted, or stored on any server. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
