Description

A lightweight tool to mask parts of images directly in the Editor. Works on Mobile & Web! Simple Mask solves the problem of "clutter" when creating image occlusions. Instead of generating dozens of new notes for a single image, it lets you draw masks directly onto your existing pictures. It is non-destructive : it never modifies your original image file. Instead, it saves the masks as lightweight code hidden behind the image. Key Features 📱 Works Everywhere: Because Simple Mask uses standard code, your masks work perfectly on AnkiDroid , AnkiMobile (iOS), and AnkiWeb . 👆 Hide All, Reveal One: Tap a specific mask to peek behind it. 🔓 Instant Reveal: Simply press the standard Show Answer button to make all masks disappear at once. 🎨 Flexible Shapes: Draw Rectangles, Circles, Triangles, and Hexagons in multiple colors. See it in Action 1. Adding a Mask Quickly cover complex anatomy like the bones of the hand using custom shapes. 2. Moving a Mask Easily adjust the position of your masks even after they are placed. 3. Deleting a Mask One-click removal using the Eraser tool to keep your diagrams clean. How to Use Select an Image: Click on any image in the "Add" or "Edit" window. Draw: Select the Pen tool and drag to cover the text or diagram. Review: On your phone or computer, the answer will be covered. Tap a mask to reveal just that part, or press Show Answer to reveal everything. Tools & Shortcuts 🖊️ Draw Shape ( Ctrl+Shift+M ) — Activates drawing mode. ✂️ Eraser ( Ctrl+Alt+D ) — Click on any mask to remove it. 👁️ Preview ( Ctrl+Alt+V ) — A quick way to check your masks in the editor. ⚙️ Settings — Change mask color and opacity via the menu. 🛠 Support & Feedback If you have any questions, find a bug, or have an idea for a new feature, please visit the official support thread: 👉 SimpleMask Official Support Page Your feedback helps make this tool better for everyone! 👋 A Note from the Author This is my very first add-on!
