MarkMan - Efficient Design Annotation and Measurement Tool

Overview

MarkMan is a high-efficiency design annotation and measurement tool specifically developed for designers, front-end developers, and product teams. It enables fast and accurate annotation of design稿 elements such as dimensions, colors, and coordinates, significantly improving communication and collaboration efficiency between design and development.

Core Features

1. Precise Measurement and Annotation

• Length Measurement: Easily measure the distance between any two points in the design稿.
• Coordinate & Rectangle Marking: Quickly obtain the exact position (X, Y coordinates) and area of elements.
• Color Value Marking: Instantly sample the color of any pixel on screen, supporting multiple formats (e.g., HEX, RGB).
• Text Annotation: Label and describe text content within the design稿.

2. Smart and User-Friendly Features

• Automatic Length Measurement: Automatically calculates and displays length while dragging measurement lines.
• Drag-to-Delete Markers: Remove unwanted annotations simply by dragging them out of the canvas.
• Auto-Refresh Design稿: If the original design稿 (e.g., PSD) is modified and saved, MarkMan automatically reloads it to ensure annotations stay synchronized with the latest design.
• Customizable Marker Styles: Right-click on markers or blank areas to customize annotation colors, text size, color formats, etc., to meet personalized needs.
• Drag-to-Delete: Streamlined operation for improved usability.

3. Strong Format Compatibility

• Supports Multiple Image Formats: Directly opens and annotates common design稿 formats including PSD (must be saved with “Maximum Compatibility”), PNG, BMP, JPG.
• Perfect Retina Display Support: For Retina design稿 named with @2x, the software automatically loads at 50% scale, ensuring measured dimensions match actual development sizes and preventing double-sized results.
