Insert SVGs 🖼️ , copy annotation text & cursor improvements
Happy Friday annotation heroes and superheroes! Today we released some new features and improvements to Markup Hero.
Insert SVGs 🖼️ - You can now insert SVG graphics along with PNGs and JPGs into your markups using the insert image feature!insert-image.gif3.25 MB
Copy annotation text ⌨️ - When selecting text annotations you've added to a markup you can now copy the text using CTRL C on Windows and CMD C on Mac.
Cursor improvements ↔️ - When editing a text annotation you can use your keyboard left, right, up, and down arrows to move within a text box without triggering a move to the next / previous page in a markup.
We have also updated the Chrome Extension shortcuts to improve conflicts with other tools and apps as well as added a quick `Screenshot Tab` feature with improved image quality. Get started by installing the extension today!
We've updated tags to now be collections. As a Superhero, you can now add and sort your markups into collections from your history. Begin by dragging the markup thumbnail image to start organizing!
In the future we plan on making shared collections as well.
Our new improved desktop app 1.1.2 for Mac & Windows has customizable keyboard shortcuts to take screenshots and open your markups. Download the update here!
We made significant improvements to the service that converts and renders PDFs. This should help speed up uploads and keep image heavy PDFs working smoothly.
Many of you have asked about this feature, and it's finally here. Superhero's can now blur markups to obfuscate sensitive information. We even flatten the blur into the markup file so it's secure and can't be edited. Upload something and try it out.
We've released the first version of our Chrome extension so that you can take screenshots straight from your browser and on Chrome OS. Install the Markup Hero extension for free from the Chrome Web Store.
We've added a support for editing markups on mobile and tablet! Happy annotating.
We've added a Delete Object button to clearly show you when and how to delete an object while editing.
We've reworked history to be easier to navigate. It's now accessible through the Markups button on the nav. View your history here.
Superhero accounts can now add tags to organize their markups as well as star important markups for quick access in history. Upgrade here to try it out!
Every markup now has link share permissions which determine whether a link can be viewed by others. By default, link share permissions are set to public. Private link settings are only available for Superhero accounts. Read more here.
We released our new Superhero pro plan. Superhero gives you access to all our features including unlimited uploads, markup edits, and history. It will soon include custom privacy and sharing options as well. As a big thank you we are giving early adopters a free year of Superhero with no credit card required. Message us on Intercom to get your free promo code.
You can now insert images into your markups! On any screenshot, multipage image upload, or PDF you can insert images by clicking the Insert Image button or pasting an image from you clipboard using CTRL V / ⌘V.
We've expanded the text size range to allow for smaller and larger fonts. To adjust font outside the default size presets you can simply drag the corner of the text box to scale up and down to fit your needs.
We released an update to our Slack app to include PDF annotations. Now you can annotate any image or PDF straight from Slack channels and direct messages. Learn more and install the app for free here.
Markup Hero now supports PDFs and multipage markups. Upload PDFs to annotate, and upload multiple images at once to create a multipage markup. Try it out here.
Markup Hero released an official Slack app allowing you to annotate images directly from Slack with a click. Learn more about the Markup Hero Slack app and its easy installation here.
Markup tool settings are now saved locally so that you continue marking up images and screenshots with your most recent selected tool, font weight, line thickness, and color.
Users can now delete markups they own or created. To delete a markup open the hamburger menu > click on the 3 dots to the right of any of your markups in the My Markups history tab > select Delete markup.
Integrations improved for Slack, Telegram, iMessage, Discord, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn – all shared links now show the screenshot with all markup included in the image preview along with link to view/edit the markup
