Make the match moment
make sense.

Explain football screenshots with professional annotations, graphics mapped to the pitch, and player occlusion.

Get Started

Desktop Screenshot Annotator for Mac and Windows (Windows beta).
Browser annotation tools also included in your membership.

Make your coaching point clear

Highlight a passing lane, connect a defensive unit, or draw attention to the player who creates space. Combine arrows, zones, player markers, spotlights, and text to turn a screenshot into a clear tactical explanation.

Match your graphics to the pitch perspective

Map the pitch plane so your drawing follows the camera angle. Place circles, zones, and arrows in perspective to show space and positioning with graphics that sit within the football scene.

Keep players in front of the graphics

Use player occlusion to place pitch graphics behind detected players. It helps highlighted areas and drawings fit into the scene while keeping the players visible.

Create a visual you can use again

Save your work as an editable desktop project, then choose a crop and export an annotated PNG. Use it in a team briefing, session plan, or tactical breakdown, and reopen the project when you want to refine it.

From screenshot to tactical explanation

Import the moment

Choose a PNG, JPEG, or WebP screenshot in the desktop app.

Build your analysis

Place your graphics and notes to show the coaching point.

Refine the picture

Review the pitch perspective, player occlusion, and annotation styling.

Export and share

Save the project and export a cropped PNG for your briefing or audience.

Prefer to work in your browser?

The browser Screenshot Annotator is a useful option for straightforward image analysis without installing software. Add arrows, shapes, and text, customise the colours, and export a PNG to share.

Choose desktop when you want the professional graphics, pitch mapping, and player occlusion demonstrated above. Both versions are included in your membership.

Want to recreate the moment on a tactics board?

Screenshot annotation adds your explanation directly to the original image. Screenshot-to-Board instead maps visible players onto an editable pitch, ready for a diagram or animation.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose desktop or browser screenshot annotation?

Choose desktop for professional annotation graphics, pitch mapping, player occlusion, and editable local projects. The browser tool is a useful option for straightforward arrows, shapes, and text without installing software. Both versions are included in your membership.

What does pitch mapping do?

It estimates the pitch plane in the screenshot so supported graphics align with the camera perspective. This helps circles, zones, and other pitch graphics sit within the scene. It does not turn the screenshot into a freely rotatable 3D match reconstruction.

What is player occlusion?

Player occlusion uses detected player masks to keep players in front of supported graphics. The desktop editor and PNG export use those masks. Detection can miss details, and unclear images may produce imperfect results or leave drawings in front.

Which images can I import into desktop?

The desktop Screenshot Annotator supports PNG, JPEG, and WebP images. Import a clear match screenshot with visible players and pitch markings for the best chance of useful mapping and occlusion.

Can I save my annotations and edit them later?

Yes. Save an editable desktop project and reopen it to adjust your annotations. Export a PNG when you need a finished image for your session plan, presentation, or tactical content.

Are screenshots uploaded for desktop processing?

Desktop screenshot processing runs locally on your computer. The app keeps the image in your local project folder. An internet connection is needed for sign-in and membership verification.

How is this different from video analysis?

Screenshot annotation works on one still image and exports a PNG. Desktop video analysis adds moving footage, timed freeze-frame scenes, player tracking, and annotated MP4 exports. Explore video analysis.

Is Screenshot Annotator a separate subscription?

No. Monthly and annual DrawTactics memberships include desktop and browser screenshot annotation alongside the other tools. Compare membership plans.
