How do I draw an arrow on a Greenshot screenshot?
Capture the region, choose the image editor and use the arrow tool to point at an important UI element.
How to do it on Windows
Capture the region, choose the image editor and use the arrow tool to point at an important UI element. Before changing capture or export settings, save any important existing work and check the Windows notification area for a running Greenshot process.
- Step 1. Capture the desired window or region and select Open in image editor.
- Step 2. Choose the arrow tool, select an appropriate thickness and draw from label to target.
- Step 3. Save a copy under a meaningful filename.
How to verify the result
The saved copy should clearly indicate the target without obscuring its label. Check the actual image file or open capture result instead of relying only on a successful shortcut animation. If the expected output is missing, repeat the task with a known local folder and the tray-menu command.
Common limitation or mistake
For repeatable troubleshooting, record your Windows version, Greenshot release, capture mode and chosen destination. Changing one setting at a time makes it easier to identify which adjustment helped.
