What is Annotate?

Annotate by Dropshare is a fast, polished markup app for iPhone and iPad. It bridges the gap between capturing a screenshot and sharing it: open an image, mark it up, and export - without the back-and-forth of switching to a desktop image editor.

Annotate is built by the team behind Dropshare for macOS and iOS, so it slots neatly into the same capture-and-share workflow. Use Annotate to highlight a bug, redact sensitive content before sending, or dress up a screenshot with a clean gradient backdrop before posting it.

Highlights

• 14 tools in a single, focused toolbar: crop, blur, pixelate, text, number badges, SF Symbols stamps, rectangles, ovals, arrows, pen, marker, loupe, backdrop, and image.
• Apple Pencil support for natural, precise drawing.
• Auto-Redact uses Apple's Vision framework to find and blur sensitive text (emails, IPs, numbers) in a single tap.
• Expandable canvas - add room on any edge with a single tap when you need space for callouts or shapes.
• Backdrop styles with gradients or solid colors, and a choice of pad (grow the canvas) or fit (shrink the image inside).
• Layers, snapping, and ∞ undo/redo for clean, precise edits.
• Export as PNG, JPEG, or HEIC and hand off to any share destination.
