Screenshot to Notion & Annotate
Snap, embed, annotate screenshots directly in Notion
The missing link in Notion -- Embedding screenshots and annotating directly in Notion. New Chrome Extension empowers users to snap website screenshots, choose page, embed + one-click add arrows, callouts, highlights, signatures + 25 more markup tools!
We longtime Notion lovers and side hustle hackers. The 3 of us have been building SaaS for ourselves and companies for decades. We have this little screenshot and annotation side project called Markup Hero we launched during Covid. It’s a little buddy with a strong user base. Super useful and people love it.
Now, Notion is gold, no doubt. But it’s missing that simple little feature of annotating images in pages. If you remember back in the day, when Evernote was boss, and they bought Skitch? The integration there was stellar. Paste any image or screenshot, then one-click to add annotations, close and see the image updated. I used it on the daily. Evernote is dead, but that integration haunts me when I use Notion.
Enter our little web based screenshot and annotation tool Markup Hero. We just launched a new Notion integration and Chrome Extension to address this problem. With the Chrome Extension you can snap website screenshots, scrolling screenshots, desktop screenshots and then choose a page to embed. That’s not really that special, there are a few other extensions that do this, although most are pretty janky tbh. The real juice is once the screenshot is embedded in Notion. You can now click an “annotate” button overlay on the image which opens our web-based markup tool. From there, add arrows, callouts, highlights, signatures, paste images and 25+ other markup tools. You can even crop your screenshot. Click save and see the changes reflected.
On top of that, Markup Hero doesn’t flatten annotated images like almost every other markup tool does. So that means you can open and modify/add/remove annotations at any time. Plus all the expected share links, download png/jpg/pdf, copy to clipboard, all that.
Finally, the Notion integration part itself is just enabled by default. So nothing to install. So when you start with a screenshot (desktop app, chrome extension) or even upload an image or PDF, all you need to do is /embed in Notion and paste the link. That connects automatically with our annotation app and you’ll see the annotate image button. Here’s a link you can just try yourself without even signing up or installing anything https://markuphero.com/share/2sU... — just /embed it in Notion.
Love to hear your thoughts. Any Notion peeps that we can connect with to talk about making the integration even better, hit me up.
@meryem_ghazi thx! Yeh, as I mentioned when I used to use Evernote (a lifetime ago lol) the Skitch integration was golden. We did the best we could with the notion api limitations, it’s pretty good. But hoping they get back to us about stepping it up even more!
Congratulations on the launch! The seamless integration with Notion addresses a gap many of us have felt, offering the ability to annotate images directly within our pages. The fact that annotated images remain editable is a game-changer. Great work!
@prateekkapoor Thanks for the +++ . Re-editing image annotations is pretty slick. Check my comment to @sebastian_karges above for more on the integration potential!
I enjoyed this product immensely, and then I needed to reset my password. I never get the email. This would not be the end of the world, but the support team will not respond to me either.
