Pizazoo 1.0.2: A Full Markup Editor Inside Your Screenshot Library
Pizazoo 1.0.2 ships a complete markup editor: annotate, redact, blur, watermark, sign, background-remove, perspective-fix. Non-destructive, on-device, free.
Pizazoo started as a screenshot organizer: watch the folder, run on-device AI, OCR-index everything, make it searchable. With 1.0.2 it becomes a screenshot editor too.
This is a single-app workflow change: you no longer have to bounce between Pizazoo (to find a screenshot) and Skitch / Preview / CleanShot (to edit it). Everything happens in one place, on your Mac, with the original always preserved.
The full tool inventory
Per reader request, here is the complete list of tools shipping in the 1.0.2 markup editor. The Features page intentionally summarises these; this post is the canonical reference.
Annotation tools
- Crop: non-destructive rectangular and aspect-locked crops
- Shapes: rectangle, rounded rectangle, oval, line, and arrow (solid, dashed, or dotted)
- Text: multi-line text boxes with system fonts, weight, size, colour
- Ink: freehand pen and marker
- Highlighter: translucent freehand for emphasis
- Step badges: auto-numbered tutorial badges (1, 2, 3…)
- Emoji stamps: drop any emoji as a sticker
Privacy tools
- Redact: solid block redaction (the safe one: irreversible to viewers)
- Blur: variable-radius gaussian blur for soft cover
- Pixelate: classic mosaic
- Auto-redact: Apple Vision text recognition plus pattern matching finds emails, phone numbers, card numbers, IP addresses, and common API keys and tokens (faces and people optional)
- Auto-blur QR codes: protect tickets, boarding passes, 2FA QR codes
Branding tools
- Watermark: import your logo or mark once, then place it with position, size, and opacity
- Signature: capture once with your trackpad, drop on any screenshot or image
- Window chrome: wrap a screenshot in a macOS-style window frame
- Background frame: gradient / solid backdrop for social-friendly exports
Vision-powered tools
- Background removal: one-click, Apple Vision powered, transparent PNG export
- Lift subject: isolate a person / product / object
- Perspective correction: fix a phone-photo of a monitor
- Smart straighten: auto-detect horizon and rotate
Focus tools
- Magnifier: zoom-loupe over a region
- Spotlight: dim everything except the focus area
- Ruler: measure regions in pixels
Adjustments
- Color: brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, invert, and film-style presets (Noir, Mono, Sepia, Chrome, Fade, Instant, Vivid)
- Beautify presets: one-click "make this presentable" looks
Non-destructive everything
Every tool above is a layer. The original screenshot is preserved untouched in your library. Click Done and Pizazoo applies the edits while keeping the pristine original, so you can reopen the editor and change or remove any layer later. Choose Save a copy to keep both versions side by side.
Why an editor inside the organizer
Three reasons.
1. You already opened Pizazoo to find the screenshot. Why hand it to another app to edit when the editor can live in the same window?
2. Edits should stay searchable. When you edit a screenshot in Skitch and save to Desktop, it falls back out of your library and out of OCR. In Pizazoo, the edited version is automatically re-indexed.
3. Privacy. Pizazoo is native macOS, needs no account, runs Apple Vision on your Mac, and the editor never uploads your screenshots.
What it doesn't do (yet)
Honesty matters. 1.0.2 does not include:
- Scrolling page captures (use Shottr or CleanShot X to capture, then edit in Pizazoo)
- Video / screen recording (use macOS’s built-in or Snagit)
- GIF capture
- PDF import or signing (export a page as an image first)
- Multi-screenshot bulk redaction
These are tracked. If something is critical for your workflow, tell us at support@pizazoo.com.
