Annotate a Screenshot on a PC

Annotating a screenshot can be a useful way to enhance visual materials in online learning settings. You can add geometric shapes and draw lines freehand, among other effects. When you have a screenshot copied to the clipboard, the image can be edited in the Paint 3D app, which comes standard with Windows 10. 

With a screenshot on the clipboard, navigate to the Paint 3D app. 

   



Once the app is open, click New to start a new project.


Then, paste (Control + V) the screenshot into the app. 


From there, you can explore the different editing and annotating options, including cropping, adding text, adding shapes, using various types of brushes, etc.. The final result is shown below. 



Once the annotation is complete, go to Menu > Save as Copy > Image to save the updated image as a .PNG file. Of course, you can annotate any image using the same method.
