Taking a screenshot is a neat way to share what’s on your screen. But if the purpose behind taking a screenshot is to share it with someone, editing the screenshot can help you get that message across effectively. And that’s where the Markup tool on your iPhone can come into play.
While taking a screenshot is pretty simple, there’s a lot you can do afterwards. In this post, we will cover all the tools you can use to edit screenshots on your iPhone. So let’s get straight to it.
Begin
Once you’ve taken a screenshot on your iPhone, a small thumbnail will appear in the bottom left corner of the screen. Click it to see your screenshot.
After opening the screenshot, tap the Markup icon at the top and a bunch of editing tools will appear at the bottom.
Crop and scale your screenshot
Not every element in your screenshot is always important. So let’s start by cutting out the unwanted parts of the screenshot. Touch and drag one of the corners or edges of the border to crop your image.
Similarly, you can also use your fingers to perform a pinch in or out gesture to zoom in on your screenshot.
Draw on screenshot
On the Markup screen, you’ll see a few tools at the bottom. You can choose from the available pen styles to easily draw arbitrary shapes or highlight part of your screenshot.
Select a pencil, pen, or highlighter from the toolbar below and choose your preferred pen size to start drawing.
Use the color picker to choose a color for your pens, pencils, or highlighters.
You can use the Lasso tool to draw a circle around the artboard and drag it.
There is also a Ruler tool for drawing straight lines. Tap the Ruler to add it to your screenshot and place it in your preferred position.
If you make a mistake at any point, use the Eraser tool to erase part of the object or the whole object.
Add text to screenshot
In addition to drawings, you can also add text to images. For that, tap the Plus icon in the bottom-right corner and select Text from the pop-up menu.
Enter your text and move the text box to the preferred position. Tap the aA icon in the bottom left corner to change the color, font, size, alignment, etc.
Add signature to screenshot
Like adding a text box, Markup also allows you to add your signature to the screenshot. You have to tap the Plus icon and select Signature from the menu.
You can add a new signature or drop one of your previously saved signatures from the pop-up menu.
Add shape to screenshot
The Markup Tool also gives you a few basic shapes that you can use in your screenshots.
Tap Plus and choose from the available shapes. Once added, use the blue dots around the shapes to resize the object.
Touch and drag the green dot to add a curve to the shape.
You can also achieve this with square, round or speech bubbles. For instance, you can take advantage of the rectangle and resize its border to hide sensitive information like email addresses, contact details, etc.
Enlarge part of Screenshot
Another way to bring focus directly to a section without cropping the screenshot is to use the Magnifier tool. You can use it to zoom in on a specific area that you want the viewer to focus on.
Click the Plus icon to select the Magnifier tool.
Once added, rotate the green dot clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or decrease the magnification respectively.
Similarly, touch and drag the blue dot inward or outward to enlarge the magnifying glass.
You can use the blur tool in conjunction with the zoom tool to hide extraneous information.
Tap Plus and select Opacity from the list. Then use the slider to increase or decrease its intensity.
Undo or redo tool
If you make a mistake while editing your image, you can use the forward or backward arrows at the top to undo or redo the changes.
Alternatively, if you want to remove the shape, text box, or signature without having to go back and forth, tap the object and choose Delete from the menu.
After editing your screenshot, tap the Done button in the top left corner to save your edited screenshot.
Alternatively, tap the share button at the top to share the screenshot.
Easy editing
The Markup tool on iPhone certainly makes it easy to edit screenshots with various options. Hopefully the above guide has given you a clear understanding of all the tools available. If you have any questions, ask us in the comments section below.
