Describe the solution you'd like On mobile, if you tap on an image, it will show full screen. From there, it would be wonderful if Excalidraw would allow to edit the image.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Either without using Excalidraw :

  1. Open file explorer, search for the image (which can be very difficult or impossible in large vaults, depending on naming conventions) and edit it using system's annotation (e.g. : open iPad's file explorer, and once the image is found, select "annotate" option).

Or using Excalidraw :

  1. In the note, delete the image embed link.
  2. Add an Excalidraw embed link to the note, in place of the old image embed link.
  3. Search for your image and add annotations in Excalidraw.
  4. Save the Excalidraw drawing using same name convention as the image that existed before.
  5. Delete the old image.

Thanks for raising. This feature is certainly on the radar screen.
