Explain with fewer words
A focused screenshot editor for Mac
Annotate Mac screenshots with arrows, shapes, text, blur, numbered steps, backgrounds, rounded corners, borders, and shadows.
Built for “screenshot editor for Mac” intent—without pretending Snip Halo records video, captures scrolling pages, or includes OCR.
A screenshot is most useful when the next person instantly knows where to look. Snip Halo keeps its editor centered on visual explanation instead of burying the image under a full photo-editing interface.
Why it fits
A focused answer to the job.
Every feature below exists in the current Snip Halo app—not on a someday roadmap.
Purpose-built markup
Use arrows, rectangles, circles, text, blur, and numbered or lettered steps.
Presentation styles
Add margin, a gradient or dark background, rounded corners, a border, and a soft shadow.
Export once
The final styling is applied when you copy, save, or drag the image.
The workflow
From shortcut to useful image.
Snip Halo is designed to keep the capture moving rather than becoming a project of its own.
