Note Annotation for Clearer Screenshots
TrarrenShot Note Annotation lets you add numbered frames or arrows and write an explanation for each one in the One Shot editor. When you export a screenshot with notes, the result includes a numbered notes panel beside the capture.

Best for
- Explain specific UI details in a bug report or design review.
- Pair numbered callouts with instructions in a screenshot.
- Keep feedback points organized before exporting a visual explanation.
Point out what matters, add the context, and give every callout a number your audience can follow.
Keep visual explanations together
Choose Note in the Inline Editor, draw a frame or arrow around any part of a screenshot, and add a short explanation. The Note Overview keeps callouts organized before export.
When you export notes, TrarrenShot places a numbered notes panel beside the screenshot so the visual and its explanations stay together.
How it works
- Capture a window or region with One Shot and open it in the editor.
- Select Note, then draw a numbered frame or arrow toward the detail you want to explain.
- Add text, review the numbered list in Note Overview, and export when it is ready.
Before you start
- Note Annotation is available in the One Shot editor, not in Live Canvas.
- Notes change the exported image by adding a numbered panel beside the screenshot; longer notes can increase the output canvas size.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I add both callouts and text to a screenshot?
- Yes. Each Note annotation has a number, a frame or arrow, and supporting text that you can edit in the One Shot editor.
- What does the exported image look like when it includes notes?
- TrarrenShot places the annotated screenshot on a white canvas with a numbered notes panel beside it. The canvas can grow to fit the notes.
- Can I edit or remove a note before exporting?
- Yes. Note Overview lets you select, edit, or delete notes before you export the capture.
- Can I use Note Annotation in Live Canvas?
- No. Note Annotation is available in the One Shot editor and is not included in the Live Canvas toolbar.
