Step numbers, an arrow to the button, and a blurred amount column.
In four lines
The problemSometimes one image with an arrow and a number says more than three paragraphs. A plain screenshot leaves people guessing where to look.
Where it is on screenPress Ctrl+Shift+4 anywhere in Windows and drag over the part of the screen you need. The capture opens in Markshot’s editor.
What you doAdd arrows, boxes, text and numbered steps. Blur anything private. Press Save for a PNG, or Copy to paste it into a chat or a document.
What you getA clear PNG in seconds, with the arrow pointing at the right button. Your images are never uploaded: Markshot saves where you choose.
What you can do
Arrows, boxes, text and step numbers
The rail on the left holds the tools: select, arrow, text, step, stamp, box, oval, line, pen, marker and blur. Number your steps so people know the order. The toolbar also has a Capture scrolling button for pages longer than the screen.
Mark up what matters
Highlight a line with the marker, circle a field and label it, or drop a check stamp. Pick the width and colour of the tool you are using in the bar under the toolbar.
Marker, stamps, an oval and a text label.
Blur what you can’t show
Drag over an area to blur it, and choose how coarse the blur is. The dark theme is one click away.
Blur with a choice of coarseness, in the dark theme.
Save it with a background
Save and copy with a background puts the capture on a coloured backdrop. Choose the colour, the margin (small, medium, large), the corners, the aspect ratio (as is, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1) and a shadow.

Make it yours

Good to know

If the hotkey does nothing, another app probably has the same combination. Click the Hotkey box at the top of Markshot’s window and press a different one. New Capture… in the window always works.

Questions

The hotkey does nothing.
Another app has probably registered the same combination. In the Hotkey box at the top of Markshot’s window, click and press a different combination. Markshot tells you right away if the new one is also taken. Reset to default goes back to Ctrl+Shift+4.
Is anything uploaded?

What does it cost?

How do I report a bug?
Email support@hullspark.com with your Windows version, the Markshot version shown in your Microsoft Store library, what you did and what you expected. A screenshot helps. Blur anything private first.
