Paint Tool — Marker Drawing for Chrome Browser

Paint Tool Marker — Draw, Highlight, Annotate in Chrome

What it is

A Chrome extension that adds a lightweight drawing and annotation layer over web pages and images.
Lets you draw freehand, highlight text or areas, add simple shapes, and erase.

Key features

Freehand marker: Draw with adjustable brush size and opacity.
Highlighter mode: Semi-transparent strokes for emphasizing text or page sections.
Shapes & lines: Add rectangles, circles, straight lines, and arrows (basic set).
Colors & presets: Quick color palette and the ability to save recent colors.
Undo/redo: Stepwise undo and redo for quick corrections.
Eraser: Erase parts of your drawing without clearing the whole canvas.
Save & export: Export annotated pages or screenshots as PNG or copy to clipboard.
Keyboard shortcuts: Toggle tool, undo, redo, and save via configurable shortcuts.
Cloud sync (optional): Save annotations to a linked account or local storage (varies by build).

Typical uses

Usability & performance

Designed to be minimal and fast; overlays are non-destructive (original page remains unchanged).
Works offline for basic drawing; some export or sync features may require internet.
Lightweight memory footprint but performance depends on page complexity and number of annotations.

Privacy & permissions

Common permissions: access to active tab and capture visible tab for screenshots.
Some versions request storage access for saved presets or cloud sync.
If privacy-sensitive, prefer builds that store data locally only.

Limitations

Not a full-featured image editor—limited layer and text tools.
Annotations may not persist across page reloads unless explicitly saved.
Accuracy of drawing can vary on pages with complex scrolling or dynamic content.

Recommendation

Good choice for quick, in-browser markups and screenshots; choose a trusted source (Chrome Web Store) and review permissions before installing.
