Screenshot editor
Annotate screenshots with arrows, rectangles, circles, text, and drawing tools. Crop, zoom, and save your annotations.
After capturing a screenshot, SERP Lens opens the annotation editor where you can mark up the image before saving. The editor includes drawing tools, shapes, text, cropping, and zoom controls.
Annotation tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Pen | Freehand drawing for circling or underlining elements |
| Rectangle | Draw outlined rectangles to highlight areas |
| Filled rectangle | Draw solid rectangles to redact or emphasize |
| Circle | Draw circles around specific elements |
| Arrow | Point to specific items with directional arrows |
| Text | Add text labels anywhere on the image |
| Crop | Trim the screenshot to a specific region |
Select any tool from the toolbar, then click and drag on the image to apply it.
Color picker
Each annotation tool uses the active color. To change it:
- Click the color swatch in the toolbar to open the picker
- Select from the default palette or choose a custom RGB color
- Save colors to your user palette for quick reuse across sessions
- Set a default color that new annotations use automatically
