Spade: Draw on and Annotate the Web & PDFs Extension

★ What Spade Does
Spade puts a powerful toolbar on every webpage that allows you to draw anywhere and mark down important information with a pen, highlighter, and text box. Your imagination can flow uninterrupted on webpages, allowing you to connect your thoughts without having to jot down notes elsewhere. These annotations are saved to the cloud and can be organized into folders on our website. Download annotated web pages as PDFs and share them with with others to help them understand your thought processes. *Everything is FREE to use!*

Oleg Shubaly (ID: 000000c48ddeafc0) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/13/2023 Unfortunately, annotations and underlines break when changing devices - computers / tablets / phones

Harsh K (ID: 0000001ff9ae9275) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/07/2023 This is the best highlight and annotation tool that exists. The only question I have is whether it will stay free? Because I can see myself using it a lot, and I don't want to store all the annotations only to later find out that continuing to use the features will require a hefty subscription fee. As of now, 5 stars from me.

ana gomez (ID: 000000f4dc3f0c31) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/09/2023 Simple, sleek, smooth. It is the best one, but I would give some suggestions. First, if possible, add support for other browsers, like opera and opera gx (on these opera browsers, the eyedropper doesn't work). Second, allow us to connect lines to lines. Thirdly, let us change the font style. Thanks!

brenna senger (ID: 00000046cd315d1a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/30/2022 Uploading a PDF didn't work at all. It says uploaded, but clicking 'submit' did absolutely nothing. Super upsetting.
