Highlite - Draw on Web Pages Firefox

Highlite - Draw on Web Pages

Drawing tool for any web page: pen, arrows, shapes, sticky notes, highlighter. Web annotation + screenshot. 100% local.

Features & Capabilities

Highlite transforms any webpage into an interactive canvas, allowing you to layer insights, feedback, and reminders directly on the source, then capture it all as an annotated screenshot.

Whether you're conducting deep research or giving design feedback, Highlite keeps your annotations organized right where they belong.

🔒 PRIVACY FIRST: YOUR DATA IS YOURS

Built with a privacy-by-design approach.

• 100% Local Storage: All your highlights, notes, and screenshots stay on your machine. • No Cloud Servers: Nothing is sent to our servers or any third party. • Zero Tracking: We don't track your browsing history or collect analytics.

✨ MASTER YOUR WORKFLOW WITH THESE FEATURES

• Annotated Screenshot Capture: Annotate the live page first, then capture and copy your screenshot to the clipboard in one click. • Precision Highlighting: Use multiple colors to categorize and organize text snippets instantly. • Contextual Comments: Pin thoughts to specific sentences or paragraphs so you never forget your initial reaction. • Digital Sticky Notes: Leave reminders or "to-do" prompts anywhere on the page. • Visual Markup Tools: Use arrows, boxes, and freehand drawing to spotlight UI elements or key data. • Zero-Friction Interface: Lightweight, fast, and requires no complex setup. Install and start annotating in seconds.

🚀 HOW IT WORKS

  1. Open any webpage and click the Highlite icon.
  2. Highlight text, draw, add arrows or sticky notes directly on the live page.
  3. Capture your annotated screenshot and paste it anywhere: Slack, email, docs.
🎓 WHO IS IT FOR?

• Researchers & Students: Cite sources and organize thesis points effortlessly. • UX/UI Designers: Provide clear, visual feedback on live staging sites and share annotated screenshots with your team. • Content Creators: Curate inspiration and annotate articles for future scripts or posts. • Developers: Mark bugs or UI inconsistencies directly on the browser and capture them for your bug reports.

🔍 WHY THESE PERMISSIONS?

• Access to page content: required to draw and highlight on the page you're viewing. Nothing is read or stored beyond your own annotations. • Clipboard: lets you copy your captured screenshot in one click.

We ask for the minimum. No background access, no data collection.

melhor extensão para usar caneta no navegador. Apenas usem
by gu*****, 2026-08-12

I've found this pretty helpful when practising exam questions that would normally need pen and paper to work out, and when pointing out parts of screenshots to other people. Some features that I'd like to suggest: - A ruler and protractor tool to measure parts of a web page - Keyboard shortcuts (e.g esc to stop the extension)
