Drop in a site photo, a precedent image, or a consultant's drawing and crop it to sit right next to your plans, or sketch a quick markup to flag a revision for the team. Paper's sheets aren't limited to viewports: you can draw and place images directly on them.
Add an image
Add an image to a sheet in any of these ways:
Click the image tool in the toolbar, or press
Cmd/Ctrl+U, and pick a file.Paste an image from your clipboard.
Drag a file from your computer onto the sheet.
Paper accepts JPEG, PNG, GIF, and SVG images, plus MP4 and MOV video.
Crop an image
Double-click an image to enter crop mode, then drag its edges or corners to crop it. Double-click a crop handle or edge to snap the crop to that edge.

Paper's toolbar has a full drawing toolkit for markup and diagrams, not just images and viewports.
A freehand draw/pencil tool (
D), an eraser (E), and a laser pointer for presenting (K).
An arrow tool (
A) and a line tool (L), including directional block arrows.Shape tools: rectangle (
R), ellipse (O), diamond, triangle, trapezoid, rhombus, hexagon, cloud, star, and more.A sticky note tool (
