Highlight Image Area

Direct attention to one part of an image with a rectangle or ellipse, adjustable outside dimming, and a colored border.

Upload an image, define a rectangle or ellipse, and dim everything outside the selected area.

Rectangle or ellipse

Match the highlight shape to interface controls, products, faces, or circular details.

Adjustable focus

Use exact source-pixel coordinates and dimensions for repeatable placement.

Dimmed surroundings

Control how strongly the rest of the image recedes behind the selected area.
