About AnnotateWeb

AnnotateWeb is a free web tool for marking up public webpages. A user enters a page URL, adds highlights, shapes, and text on top of the live page, and shares a link so others can view the session in real time. The annotated page can also be exported as a PNG image. No account or installation is required, according to the homepage.

The homepage says sessions are private and accessible only through their unique link. It also says annotations are deleted automatically after 2 minutes of inactivity, and that share links are permanent. The homepage does not explain how these two statements fit together, so users should not assume that annotations or sessions persist. The tool works on most public websites. Sites with strict security policies or complex JavaScript frameworks may have limited function.
