What Maxisnap Focuses On
The arrow
Maxisnap's arrow tool renders with 3-layer depth — drop shadow, outline, and a linear gradient.
Text with pointer tail
Inline text editing opens at the arrow tail immediately after drawing. Type, press Enter, done. Subtle drop shadow keeps text readable over busy screenshots.
Numbered pins
Auto-incrementing numbered circles for step-by-step callouts. Delete one in the middle and the rest renumber automatically.
Pixelation blur
Blur reduces visible detail in a selected region, including earlier annotations. Keep secrets outside the capture or crop them out; this visual effect is not secure redaction.
Clean shapes
Rectangle, ellipse, line. No gradient fills, no drop-shadow fluff by default.
