78 Languages
Fully localized so the editor speaks your team's language — every label, alert, and tool tip.
Share & Export
Save edits as PNG / JPG to your gallery, AirDrop or Share-Sheet to any app, copy to clipboard, or send straight to Mail and Messages — all from one tap.
The Complete Photo Markup & Annotation Editor
Snap Markup combines every tool a modern photo annotation app needs into a single, fast editor. Pick a photo from your library, capture from camera, paste from clipboard, or stitch a panorama — then layer drawings, shapes, text, stickers, blur regions, callouts, spotlights and filters until the image says exactly what you want it to.
Every gesture is non-destructive. Tap any layer to reposition, scale, or rotate it; pinch the canvas to zoom for pixel-precise edits; tap-X to remove a stray annotation. When you're done, export an HD PNG or JPG, share to any iOS / Android target, or roll it into a multi-page PDF.

- Arrows, rectangles, circles
- Custom text with shadow / stroke

Type, Caption & Stamp — Studio-Quality Text on Any Photo
Snap Markup's text-on-photo engine goes far beyond the basics. Choose from a curated library of fonts, dial in size, alignment, color, opacity, drop shadow, stroke, and background fill — all live, with the change visible on the canvas as you slide. Stack as many text layers as you need; each one stays editable until you accept the session.
Beyond plain text, Snap Markup ships three text-adjacent tools that give your message more weight on the canvas: numbered step callouts for tutorials and walkthroughs (with optional connector arrows between steps), 10 comic-style speech bubbles with size and rotation sliders, and an EXIF-aware date & GPS stamp that pulls the original capture date and a reverse-geocoded address straight onto the photo — perfect for inspection reports and field photos.

From Site Reports to UX Feedback — One Editor for Every Workflow
Snap Markup is built for people who turn photos into communication, not just memories. Field inspectors stamp date and GPS on every photo, drop measurement rulers, then export a single password-protected PDF report. Designers mark up screenshots, blur sensitive UI, and ship annotated previews back to the team in seconds. Teachers circle key answers and add numbered feedback. Developers reproduce bugs with a clean repro path drawn directly on the screen.
The same editor scales from a 30-second screenshot fix to a full multi-page document. Pick photos, arrange & rotate pages in a 3-column grid, choose Low / Medium / High image quality and Portrait or Landscape orientation, optionally lock the file with a password, then preview the result with Apple's Quick Look — never leaving Snap Markup.

- Student annotations
- Product brochures & demos
- Screenshot walkthroughs

What our users say
Real reviews from inspectors, designers, teachers, and developers using Snap Markup every day.
Ian Frangs
CEO & Founder
Snap Markup is great — it doesn't just annotate photographs, it crops and resizes them too, and isn't ad-ridden. A genuinely useful tool.
Sara Wilsson
Designer
Top notch. I use this for drawing surveys when I plan routes for pipework, electrical cables, drainage, and unit placements. So much faster than explaining over phone or email.
Jena Karlis
Store Owner
I markup product photos for the team daily. The blur tool is a lifesaver for hiding price tags and barcodes when sharing previews.
Matt Brandon
Freelancer
The new multi-photo PDF generator with password support replaced three other apps in my workflow. Site reports are 5 minutes now.
John Larson
Entrepreneur
The AI face blur is genuinely impressive — it picked up everyone in a busy event photo without me drawing a single rectangle.

Everything you need to know about Snap Markup.
How much does Snap Markup cost?
Snap Markup is free on Google Play (Android). On the Apple App Store it's a one-time purchase — no subscription, no in-app purchases, and every feature is unlocked the moment you buy. Both versions are ad-free.
Can Snap Markup blur faces automatically?
Yes. Tap the AI Face Blur tool and Snap Markup uses Apple's Vision framework (or Android equivalents) to detect every face in the photo and pixelate them in one step. You can still hand-blur additional regions afterwards.
Can I create PDFs from multiple photos?
Yes — the Generate PDF flow lets you pick any number of photos, arrange and rotate them as pages, and export a single PDF. Optionally protect it with a password, or export the edits as an image bundle instead.
How do I markup screenshots and add arrows or text?
Open the screenshot in Snap Markup and pick a tool from the bottom toolbar — pen, arrows, shapes, text, mosaic, or stickers. Tools layer on top of the image so you can adjust them before exporting.
Does Snap Markup keep my photos private?
All editing happens locally on your device. Photos are never uploaded to a server. The app uses your Photos permission to read the images you pick and to save the edited result back to your library.
Which languages are supported?
Snap Markup is fully localized in 78 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Arabic, Hindi, Russian, Vietnamese, Turkish, Polish, and many more.
How do I save and share annotated photos?
After editing, tap Save to export to your gallery as PNG or JPG. Or tap Share to send straight to Messages, Mail, social apps, or any iOS / Android share sheet target.
Is Snap Markup ad-free?
Yes — Snap Markup runs ad-free. We don't show banners, interstitials, or video ads inside the editor. The website uses minimal Carbon / BuySellAds slots only on dedicated landing pages and never inside the app.
Does Snap Markup work offline?
Yes. Every editing tool — drawing, blur, AI face detection, text, stickers, PDF generation — runs locally without a network connection. The only features that need internet are the in-app help video, web capture, and reverse-geocoded GPS stamps.
Can I capture and annotate web pages?
Yes — the built-in web capture lets you load any URL, scroll the full page, and grab a single tall screenshot ready to mark up. Map capture works the same way for Apple Maps content.
Does Snap Markup work on iPad?
Yes. Snap Markup is universal on iOS — the same features run on iPhone and iPad with layouts that adapt to landscape and portrait, including a wider photo grid and an iPad-friendly PDF arrangement view.
Can I view EXIF metadata for a photo?
Yes. Tap the ⓘ button on the bottom-right corner of any thumbnail in the Home gallery to open an iOS-Photos-style metadata popover — date, dimensions, file size, format, camera make & model, lens, exposure (aperture / shutter / ISO / focal length) and a map of the photo's location.
Can I add precise measurements to a photo?
Yes — the Measurement tool drops a calibrated ruler onto any photo so you can mark distances, lengths, and dimensions. Combined with date / GPS stamps it's ideal for site visits and inspection reports.
Can I customize the order of editing tools?
Yes. In Settings → Edit → Tool Order you can drag tools to reorder them and toggle individual tools on or off. Hidden tools won't appear in the bottom toolbar so you can streamline the editor for your workflow.
What output formats and quality levels are supported?
Photos export as PNG or JPG, with quality steps from 50 % up to 100 % and image-size presets from 720 px up to 1920 px (or "Auto" to match the source). PDFs export at Low / Medium / High quality with portrait or landscape orientation.
Can I undo or redo edits?
Yes — the editor has unlimited undo/redo within a session. Each tool's accept / cancel flow also gives you a clean exit if you change your mind before committing the change to the canvas.
Can I password-protect the PDFs I generate?
Yes. In the PDF export sheet, toggle "Password Protected" and enter a password. The exported PDF will require that password to open in any standard reader (Preview, Acrobat, Files, etc.).
Can I switch between light and dark themes?
Yes. Settings → Edit → Theme lets you pick Auto (follows iOS), Light, or Dark. The whole editor, including all tool surfaces, adapts to your choice.
