Fluffmark is an easy-to-use, non-destructive annotation app for photos, GIFs, and Live Photos. Add text, arrows, lines, freehand drawings, rectangles, ellipses, blur, pixelation, and image layers. Every annotation stays editable, and Recent Edits lets you return to a project whenever you need. Optimized for large and long images: • Fit the whole image or inspect it at a true 1:1 pixel scale • Zoom from 2% to 400% • Use Hand mode to move around without disturbing annotations Export in the original media type: • Still photos remain still photos • GIF frame timing and looping are preserved • Live Photos remain paired Live Photos • Original dimensions and clarity are retained whenever the format allows Your media stays private. Fluffmark imports only items you choose with Apple’s system photo picker. Editing and export happen on your device, and the app does not upload your original media or annotation documents to a server. From a quick arrow on a screenshot to detailed notes on an extra-long image, Fluffmark keeps annotation precise, reversible, and pleasant.
