How to circle something in a picture

  1. Choose or drop an image. The Oval tool is ready; Box is next to it.
  2. Drag across what you want to highlight. Hold Shift for a perfect circle or square.
  3. Tick Fill the shape for a solid block, or lower Opacity for a highlighter effect. Save from Export.

Good to know

  • A filled box at 30% opacity works like a highlighter pen.
  • A filled black box hides information, but the Censor tool does it in one step.
  • Combine with an arrow and a short label for clear instructions.
