How to add an arrow to an image

  1. Choose or drop an image. The Arrow tool is ready.
  2. Drag from the tail to the tip. Hold Shift to snap to 45-degree angles.
  3. Pick a bright color that stands out from the image, then save from Export.

Good to know

  • Red, yellow and the orange swatch show up on almost any screenshot.
  • Thicker arrows read better when the image will be viewed small, such as on a phone.
  • The Line tool draws plain straight lines for underlining or connecting things.

Questions

Can I move an arrow after drawing it?

No. Undo and draw it again.

Does the arrowhead scale with the line?

Yes, it grows with the stroke size so thick arrows keep their shape.

Can I add a label next to the arrow?

Yes. Switch to the Text tool and place the label.
