Image markup/annotation

Posted on by russrimm1 85

Hello!

I am wondering if there's some way to enable using annotation tools in a Canvas app so that the user can draw arrows and boxes around things on the image displayed in the Canvas App.  Would it be potentially possible to use a free image markup site like annotely.com in an iFrame component?  It doesn't require any authentication and has annotation features but doesn't appear to have an API so things like automatically loading an image into annotely don't appear to be possible.


Thanks in advance

    Hi @russrimm1 

    You can have a Pen Input control over an Image control, then you can let your users draw over that image. But for this approach, there is no out-of-the-box function that combines the image and the annotation into one file, so you will have to stack two images together in order to let users view it properly in Power Apps.

    Please see this guide on how to build an image annotation tool in Power Apps:
