In their own words
Markup Hero
Markup Hero creates annotated markups from screenshots, uploaded or pasted images and PDFs, blank canvases, or captures made with its Chrome extension. It runs on Mac, Windows, and Chrome, with scrolling capture, annotation tools, OCR, and cloud sharing. Markups can be exported as JPG, PNG, or PDF. The free Hero plan includes all product features, up to 25 markups, and 24 hours of editing for each free-plan markup. An account is required after five markups; the stated reasons are linking files to users and providing customer support. Super Hero offers unlimited markups, editing, and saving. Premium Monthly is $5 a month, while Premium Annual is $3 a month billed annually; those listings include unlimited markups and permanent editing history. Super Hero Monthly is $5 a month, and Super Hero Annual is $3 a month billed annually. Team and lifetime plans are also listed, with no prices specified.
