How to Add Arrows and Circles to a Screenshot With Skitch

Skitch is a popular screenshot and annotation tool developed by Evernote. With Skitch, you can easily capture screenshots and add annotations such as arrows, circles, text, and shapes to highlight specific parts of the image. Here's how to add arrows and circles to a screenshot with Skitch:

1. Capture a screenshot: Use Skitch to capture the screenshot of the image you want to annotate. You can do this by selecting the "Capture" button on the Skitch toolbar or by using the keyboard shortcut Command+Shift+5 (on Mac) or Windows key + Shift + S (on Windows).

2. Open the screenshot in Skitch: Once you have captured the screenshot, it will open in Skitch automatically. If it doesn't, you can open the screenshot by dragging and dropping it onto the Skitch icon in your dock (on Mac) or by clicking the "Open" button in Skitch and selecting the file.

3. Add arrows and circles: To add an arrow, select the "Arrow" tool from the Skitch toolbar and click and drag to draw the arrow where you want it. You can adjust the size, color, and thickness of the arrow using the options in the Skitch sidebar. To add a circle, select the "Circle" tool from the Skitch toolbar and click and drag to draw the circle where you want it. Again, you can adjust the size, color, and thickness of the circle using the options in the sidebar.

4. Save your annotated screenshot: Once you have added the arrows and circles to your screenshot, you can save the annotated image by selecting the "Save" button in Skitch and choosing the file format you want (e.g., PNG, JPG, PDF).

5. Share your annotated screenshot: You can share your annotated screenshot by using the "Share" button in Skitch to send it via email, message, or other social media platforms.

That's it! With Skitch, adding arrows and circles to your screenshots is quick and easy.
