Drop it. Mark it. Ship it.

The fastest way to annotate a screenshot.

editss is a browser-native screenshot editor built for people who value their time. No sign-ups, no file uploads, no Electron bloat — just an instant canvas that runs entirely in your browser's memory.

Paste a screenshot, draw an arrow, blur a secret, and hit save. The whole flow takes seconds, not minutes.

Why editss?

Most screenshot tools are either too simple (basic crop & draw) or too complex (full image editors with 200 features you'll never use). editss sits right in the sweet spot:

• Instant start. Paste from clipboard (⌘V) or drag a file in. No "File → Open" dialogs.
• Professional tools. Arrows, rectangles, ellipses, text, freehand pen, chat bubbles, numbered counters, blur, highlight, and spotlight — everything you actually need.
• Calm, focused design. A restrained parchment & ink palette keeps the UI out of your way.
• Full history. Unlimited undo/redo with ⌘Z / ⇧⌘Z. Duplicate objects with ⌘D.
• One-click export. ⌘S downloads a PNG. ⌘C copies to clipboard. Done.
• Completely local. Your images never leave the browser tab. Zero servers, zero tracking.
