: What is the best software for drawing tooltips? We are currently using "Snagit" to take screenshots and add tooltips on top of them. These screenshots are later displayed on our site explaining

Probably it exists, but I do not get an application to just do that.

My approach would be using a vector based program, so this tooltips can be edited and re used.

First, define a style. Background and font.

As you can notice, normally you can simply use a rectangle, or rounded shape, and choose some gradients, shadows, etc.

After this you simply re export your image, preferably using the exact same resolution as the original imported screen capture.

A free program I wold use is Inkscape, but you can use Illustrator, Corel Draw or Afinity Designer.

If you want your images to look good, put a little effort into it, and once you have them you can reuse your assets and do this very quickly

I do use snagit, and i never use the inbuilt editor. While i agree that doing this with web features is a good solution its not always practical. What is do instead is open the screen capture into my graphics editor, either illustrator or photoshop in my case. But could be any application.

By using this feature it you are able to change your initial question to a form what application can annotate my pictures as better than snagit? Now this is a question that is easily answered. Nearly any image editing application can do this, but which apps are is as easily usable as snagits editor? LOts of options out there.

If you are displaying tooltips on a website, then you wouldn't create those with a graphics package (except maybe the mockups) - You would create them directly with code (CSS). css-tricks.com/bubble-point-tooltips-with-css3-jquery/ is one example.
