Balsa Image Annotations enable designers, PMs, and engineers to annotate UI mockups and screenshots directly within Balsa documents, making it easier than ever to clearly document how new features should work.

Hi Product Hunt! We're excited to share a new feature we have always wished existed -- Image Annotations. As builders, we have long sought a "single source of truth" for product specs and PRDs, and we built Balsa to be that tool. With Image Annotations, we're addressing the pain point of wanting to comment on specific functionality within UI mockups. It's a heavily used capability of Figma, but no document tools supported this, until now. :) Give Balsa a try for your next design doc or PRD -- and when it comes time to upload mockups, use our Image Annotations to give your team context on specific bits of each mockup. It's super quick, lightweight, and brings added clarity that will help you ship faster. The team is here with me -- let us know what you think! Paul

@zachary_dewitt we envision this being heavily used to annotate mockups when writing PRDs, giving designers and PMs a new level of granularity for clearly communicating what's what, and how things should work. That's how we're using them internally and they are helping us a lot! We'll be keeping an eye on new use cases customers find, too. :)
