Use annotated screenshots to improve how people learn web apps
The Process: capture, annotate, save, and share
Creating a web screenshot takes four steps: we capture, annotate, save, and share an image. You can complete the process with system tools, but isn't elegant.
First, capture a web screenshot with your system:
- Windows: Windows key + Print Screen (or, use the Snipping Tool to capture a region)
- Mac: Command-Shift-4
- Chrome OS: Shift + Ctrl + Windows switcher key
Each of these tools saves the screenshot to your local drive (in Pictures, the desktop, or Downloads, respectively).
Next, annotate the image with a meaningful arrow or note in your favorite image editing software. Rename the file something other than 'Screenshot_2013-11-30_09:09:15.jpg' to make it able to be found in the future. System tools all save captured files to local storage.
Finally, upload or email the image to share it with other people.
Better tools
Web screenshot tools make the whole process faster. The tools save the captured image to online storage, which eliminates the manual upload of a file. Many tools also offer annotation and sharing options. If you use Google's Chrome browser, here are four screenshot tools worth a look (pun intended).

It's the simplest - and least powerful - tool of the four.
