    Shapes & arrows: common questions

    Can I add several annotations to one image?

    Each export adds one shape. Select Keep editing this result to open that copy and draw the next shape. Keep your original separately so you can start over without accumulated edits.

    How do I draw an arrow in a specific direction?

    Drag on the image from where the arrow starts to where it should point. You can also type the start point and a horizontal and vertical span; negative spans point left or up.
