Can Greenshot add labels or text annotations?
Use the editor text tool to add readable labels next to the action being explained.
How to do it on Windows
Use the editor text tool to add readable labels next to the action being explained. Before changing capture or export settings, save any important existing work and check the Windows notification area for a running Greenshot process.
- Step 1. Open the screenshot in Greenshot image editor.
- Step 2. Choose text, click in an uncluttered area and enter your short instruction.
- Step 3. Adjust font size and contrast, then export.
How to verify the result
Text should remain legible at the size recipients will view it. Check the actual image file or open capture result instead of relying only on a successful shortcut animation. If the expected output is missing, repeat the task with a known local folder and the tray-menu command.
Common limitation or mistake
For repeatable troubleshooting, record your Windows version, Greenshot release, capture mode and chosen destination. Changing one setting at a time makes it easier to identify which adjustment helped.
