Image editing has become an essential aspect of modern businesses, facilitating updates and collaboration, and emphasizing specific elements within images. WorkDrive now offers a convenient built-in image editor tool, powered by Zoho Annotator, to efficiently fulfill these editing needs.
Note: Currently, we support image editing only for the following file formats: PNG, JPG, JPEG, HEIC, BMP, SVG, and WEBP.
Here's a guide on how to edit images using the Image Editor:
- Right-click on the image you wish to edit.
- Select the Open with > Image Editor option. Alternatively, open the image in preview mode and choose Edit image from the top menu.

This will open the Image Editor window.
- Make the necessary changes and click Save.
- If you want to save the changes as a new file, click on the drop-down menu next to the Save button and choose Save as a new file.
- If you want to discard the changes and close the file, click Discard changes and confirm it in the confirmation dialog box.
Edit options
The image editor window comprises the below edit options in the left pane:

- Select tool: Select added objects within the image for editing, moving, or deletion.
Note: To select multiple objects at once, hold the Shift key while clicking each object. This enables you to perform actions such as delete or copy across all selected items simultaneously.
- Highlighting tool: Highlight essential sections of the image for quick retrieval of key information in the future or to annotate specific details.
- Rectangle: Add rectangular highlights to the image.
- Ellipse: Add elliptical highlights to the image.
- Marker: Add handwritten text, annotations, or drawings. You can also strike out, underline, or emphasize text using this tool.
- Highlighter pen tool: Highlight sections of the image using a highlighter pen. You can choose from different colors, including yellow, red, green, and orange, to emphasize specific areas.
- Arrow and line tool: Add arrows or lines to the image to draw attention to particular elements or illustrate connections between different parts. Here, you have the option to use a single arrow, double arrow, or a straight line.
- Text tool: Add textual information directly onto the image. You can input text boxes with annotations, explanations, or any other relevant information.
- Tagging tools: Add tags to specific elements within the image for clarity or categorization. You can add numbering and mark items as correct, wrong, or unclear to indicate their status.
- Concealing tools: Hide certain parts of the image, either for privacy reasons or to focus attention on other areas. You can blur or smudge sections of the image to remove the unwanted content.
- Crop tool: Select and retain a specific area of the image to adjust image composition or to remove any unwanted elements.
