Features

Everything you need to annotate the web

Highlights, arrows, and shapes

Mark key text, draw arrows, and frame sections with anchors that survive layout shifts.

Freehand ink + eraser

Sketch, underline, and clean up with quick pen strokes and an eraser that respects the page.

Sticky notes with comments

Drop notes anywhere, keep context next to the content, and add comment threads or checklists.

Whiteboard workspace

Open a contained blank board directly from the popup for sketches, review flows, and freeform planning without relying on any host page layout.

Local PDF workspace

Load a local or Google Drive PDF into the built-in viewer, navigate pages with document controls, and keep page-aware annotations stored locally.

Screen recording

Record screen, camera, and microphone together with picture-in-picture and instant preview links.

Reader mode and offline reading

Extract clean, ad-free article snapshots and save them locally for later. Annotate saved articles even without an internet connection.

Presenter mode

Step through your annotations as slides. Walk teammates through a review or demo without switching tools or losing context.

Real-time projection

Share your drawing session live. Hosts can allow or revoke guest drawing, and new joiners inherit the current room state automatically.

Command palette (Ctrl+K)

Jump to any tool, export format, or action in under a second. Pair it with remappable shortcuts, presets, and macro replay for faster review flows.

Global offline search

Search saved highlights, notes, comments, and checklist tasks across pages with local filters and result restore.

PKM sync

Push highlights and notes directly to Notion databases or Obsidian vaults. Sync runs entirely from the browser with no cloud relay involved.

AI summaries and tagging

On-device summaries and auto-tagging when Chrome AI is available help keep sensitive notes private.

Annotations panel

Review everything in one list, filter by type, jump back to context, or delete quickly.

Export-ready output

Capture annotated views and export to Markdown, JSON, CSV, PDF, image bundles, or full local archives.

Workflow

From page to shareable output

01

Launch on any page

Pin the extension and open the toolbar on the page you want to review or explain.

02

Annotate in context

Highlight, sketch, and add notes directly on top of the content without leaving the tab.

03

Share or export

Export, sync, present, or project the result without rebuilding the page in another tool.

Why It Works

Designed for stability and speed

Shadow-root UI

Toolbar styles stay isolated from the host page, protecting typography and layout from collisions.

Page anchored storage

Annotations are stored by normalized URL so revisiting a page restores highlights and notes automatically.

Viewport-aware layout

The toolbar respects the visual viewport so it stays reachable even when scrollbars or overlays appear.

Server-managed updates

Onboarding copy and support links are hosted by the server so changes ship without a new extension release.

Popup diagnostics

The popup includes separate Whiteboard and PDF Viewer launch actions plus Quick Start and Page Health views for access, injection, and realtime checks.

Trust

Privacy-first by design

Smart Page Annotator keeps annotations local by default and only sends data to the server when you explicitly use sharing, recording, or projection tools.

Read the privacy policy
  • Annotations are stored locally by default.
  • Recordings and share links require explicit user actions.
  • Guest sessions expire automatically, and accounts can be deleted on request.
  • Google Drive access is requested only when you explicitly choose Drive import in the PDF workspace.
