One of the most polished screenshot + annotation tool

As long as I am working within a browser, this is a must have productivity tool. I can literally save hours everyday buy annotating screenshots instead of typing instructions for my team.

PROS

I really like the way this tool can work with PDFs. This is a new thing. Also, it can create a history trail for all the edits to screenshots, which comes in handy sometimes if I need to rework annotations. Also, I like the way I can arrange the images in my cloud for different groups of people and access levels.

CONS

I would really love to see it as an independent app instead of a browser extension. Being ties to a browser is really restrictive for sich a great app.

Reason for choosing Markup Hero

Markuphero UI/UX is a lot better. I like the features better too.

Reasons for switching to Markup Hero

The windows version of cloudapp has a very ugly and buggy text annotation tool. Markuphero is much nicer.

Vendor Response

Sweet! Thx for feedback. Did you download the app instead of the extension? We have both.

Great tool

A great tool to take screenshots, create markups, edit and share them. It also stores images, allowing users to query history and group them into collections.

PROS

- easy to take screenshots - easy to edit images - easy to share - group images in collections - search for images - It's a Chrome extension. You don't need to install a new software

CONS

- only allows to delete 1 image at a time

Reasons for switching to Markup Hero

- You don't need to install anything on your computer. I use it as a Chrome extension. - The image history is in the cloud and can be consulted from other computers

Vendor Response

We are glad to see you are enjoying Markup Hero and seeing the value of using the Chrome Extension. It's quite nice to keep everything in the browser where you can access your markups from any device!

Easy & Quick To Use.

PROS

The scrolling screenshot feature is my go to option!

CONS

When using the Chrome extension, you have to log back in after you do a mockup to associate it with your account.

Reasons for switching to Markup Hero

Previous product was not compatible with Windows 11 upgrade at the time. Had to find a new product that was.

Vendor Response

Hi Diamond, thanks for the feedback. Once you have logged into Markup Hero on your Chrome browser you should be all set for all future screenshots to be associated with your account. Let us know at support@markuphero.com if you need further assistance!

Future of Screenshots!!

PROS

1. Universal annotations tool to annotate images, screenshots, URL's, PDF's, Docs, Spreadsheets, Slides, etc. 2. Annotations you make using Markup Hero are not usual annotations, these annotations are layered and editable, meaning that annotation can be edited even after sharing it (link will remain the same but image will get updated). In other words, Markup Hero has the capability for share once but edit repeatedly and go back repeatedly. 3. Layered annotations open all possibilities for real-time collaborative editing. 4. Bloat free editing experience!! You get only the tools that are required and useful. No useless features that are used once in a blue moon. 5. I haven't tried Slack integration but Markup Hero is available as a Drive Add-on and can be installed from the Google Workspace Marketplace. This means Markup Hero can be used directly from Google Drive to create and edit files. This also means that just one click and you are annotating any Google Doc, Google Sheet, Google Slide.

CONS

1. No custom hotkeys 2. No scrolling screenshots 3. No multi-select for annotation objects 4. No custom branding, no custom domain. 5. Tags instead of folders All mentioned stuff is also present in their roadmap. Hopefully, they will release these features soon.

Vendor Response

Thx for feedback! On your comments: 1) releasing in a few days. 2) on roadmap, probably early next year. 3) on roadmap, hopefully by Jan. 4) building now, released by Jan. On the Tags vs. Folders, would love more feedback here as we're trying to decide optimal implementation. Would love to see comments on that roadmap item.
