Why Edivect
Open → Draw → Export
Launch to first stroke in under two seconds. Copy a finished markup to the clipboard with a single keystroke.
Everything stays editable
Select, move, rotate, restyle or regroup any object — hours later. Nothing is flattened until you export.
Private by design
Runs fully offline. No account, no telemetry, no cloud. Your screenshots never leave the machine.
Built for CAD workflows
3-point arcs, angle measurement and freeze mode match how CATIA, NX and Creo users already think.
Interactive editing
A vector editor that opens as fast as a screenshot
Tools for drawing, measuring and reviewing directly on your screen.
Editable objects
Nothing is baked in. Click any arrow, shape or label to get eight resize handles, a rotation handle and a right-click menu of colour, width and opacity — hours after you drew it.
CAD measurement
Angle and 3-point arc tools follow CATIA/NX muscle memory: click start, end, then vertex, with a live degree/radius readout that trails the cursor. Measurements stay editable objects.
QA stamps & markers
Drop auto-incrementing ①②③ markers, letter markers, check/cross and one-click OK / NOK stamps at a uniform size — built for inspection reports.
Blur & focus
Blur serial numbers and operator names, or drop a focus rectangle that dims everything except the region under discussion. Both remain adjustable objects.
Freeze & boards
Freeze all monitors so live gauges can’t change mid-markup, or switch to whiteboard / blackboard for training sessions — annotations persist per mode.
Three steps
From “I need to mark this” to a shared image in seconds
Open
Press the global hotkey. The overlay activates on the current monitor with your last tool pre-armed. Freeze the screen if it’s live.
Draw
Arrows, callouts, blur, stamps, measurements — each is a single keystroke. Everything you place remains a selectable object.
Export
Copy to clipboard, save a PNG/JPG, or keep the editable JSON project for re-inspection later. Repeat your last export with one key.
Everything included
One portable tool, the whole annotation toolkit
Pen & highlighter
Freehand ink and translucent highlight, with optional auto-fade for presentations.
Lines & arrows
Straight lines and arrows with four arrowhead styles, dash/dot, and Shift-to-45° locking.
Shapes
Rectangle, rounded rectangle, ellipse and 3-point arc with adjustable corner radius.
Text & speech bubbles
Rich text objects and speech bubbles with full typography controls.
Number & letter markers
Auto-incrementing badges you can renumber, restart or switch between digits and letters.
Check, cross & stamps
One-click checkmarks, crosses and OK / NOK stamps at a consistent size.
Layers & groups
Group, lock, hide and reorder objects in a Figma-style layers panel.
History & autosave
Named, clickable undo history and a 30-second autosave that survives crashes.
Flexible export
PNG, transparent PNG, JPG, clipboard, per-monitor, selection region — or an editable JSON project.
How it compares
Illustrator-grade editing at Snipping-Tool speed
Pointofix is the closest thing to Edivect — the same draw-anywhere overlay, free, and it has been doing it for years. The difference is what happens after you let go of the mouse.
