Features
Everything you need on the page itself
HighShot mirrors a drawing toolkit inside Chromium browsers — draw when you need to, Interact when you need the page, and keep the toolbar with you across navigations.
- 01
Interact while marking up
Switch to Interact to click buttons, follow links, and use the app — Markup Mode stays on. Pick a drawing tool when you’re ready to mark again.
- 02
Highlighter & Pen
Freehand markup that stays anchored as you scroll — wide translucent washes or precise ink lines.
- 03
Shapes & arrows
Call out UI with rectangles, ellipses, stars, lines, and arrows sized by drag, just like a sketch tool.
- 04
Emoji stamps
Drop reactions on the page and resize them with a drag so they match the moment.
- 05
Privacy blur
Blur emails, names, or secrets before you screenshot or screen share — drag a container over what should stay hidden.
- 06
One-click capture
Viewport, area, or full-page shots with a true-to-page preview, optional brand watermark, and your markup burned in.
- 07
Sticky notes
Pin thoughts on the page with movable notes so feedback stays next to what you’re talking about.
- 08
Lifetime & persistence
Choose Ephemeral, On this page, or Temporary fades. Persist across refresh restores drawings and reopens the toolbar — turn it off anytime in Settings.
- 09
And many more
Undo & redo, History, Temporary marks, Persist across refresh, watermarks, and more — with new tools shipping regularly.

Use cases
Built for people who work on the open web
Teaching & demos
Circle UI, add arrows, and stamp emoji live — switch to Interact to click through the flow, then mark the next screen without closing the toolbar.
Bug reports
Draw on the broken state, blur personal data, navigate the app with Interact, then capture a screenshot with context intact.
Private sharing
Blur emails, IDs, and balances before you screenshot or screen share — so nothing sensitive leaves your browser.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Quick answers about markup, Interact, navigation, persistence, privacy, and screenshots.
HighShot is a Chromium extension to annotate pages and blur sensitive data before you screenshot or screen share — plus markup tools (highlighter, pen, shapes, emoji), Interact for click-through, undo/redo, and captures with your markup burned in. It works on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, and other Chromium-based browsers.
HighShot supports Chromium-based browsers — including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, Arc, and Vivaldi. Install it from the Chrome Web Store in your preferred Chromium browser.
Yes. Choose the Interact tool to click buttons, follow links, and use the app normally. Switch back to Highlighter, Pen, or another tool when you want to draw again — no need to close Markup Mode.
Yes, when Persist across refresh is on (the default). Drawings restore as the page loads, and the toolbar reopens until you close it. Lifetime Policy still applies: Ephemeral, On this page, or Temporary fades. You can turn persistence off in Settings anytime.
Markup Mode stays on across in-tab navigations until you close it. Strokes from the previous page clear on a real page change; same-page hash links keep both Markup Mode and your strokes.
Yes. Viewport, area, and full-page captures include your strokes and blurs. The in-page preview keeps the webpage’s aspect ratio so you see a faithful thumbnail before you copy or download.
Yes. Use the Blur tool to drag a blurred region over emails, names, or other private details before you screenshot or screen share — no post-editing required.
No. Markup lives in an overlay. Use Interact to click the page without closing Markup Mode. When Markup Mode is off, the page works normally — strokes kept by On this page or persistence stay visible but non-interactive until you reopen the toolbar.
Yes. Use Undo and Redo on the toolbar, or keyboard shortcuts (Esc / Ctrl+Z to undo, Ctrl+Shift+Z or Ctrl+Y to redo).
Yes. Install it from the Chrome Web Store in any supported Chromium browser and start marking up pages right away.
