The screenshot editor

REC screenshot editor with the highlight, arrow, redact, blur, crop and text tools
The editor opens full size and moves through every screenshot with ◀ ▶ or the arrow keys.
ToolWhat it does
▭ HighlightRed outline around the area that matters.
→ ArrowArrow pointing at a spot on the screen.
■ RedactSolid bar over data that must not leave.
▦ BlurMosaic over the region: hides it without the visual weight of a black bar.
◱ CropKeeps only the selected area and discards the rest; nothing improves the readability of full-screen shots more.
T TextWrites over the image. Drag the box into place and confirm with Enter.
  • Ctrl+Z undoes the last action; Restore screenshot brings back the step's original image.
  • Remove highlight swaps the screenshot for the clean capture when the automatic highlight landed off target. Password redaction is preserved. It works during the review; once a saved session is reopened, the stored screenshot is final.
