      Hi everyone,

      we’ve developed a (mobile) application that, among other features, allows users to upload images. We’re now looking to enhance the user experience by enabling image editing features directly within the app.
      For example, we’d like users to be able to:
      – Add text to images
      – Draw or annotate freely
      – Insert (predefined) shapes or forms

      The more options, the better!

      Are there any libraries/plugins/other ways of implementation, you would recommend for such requirements? I’m sure, there are a lot of different apps out there, which already do something similar.

      Any recommendations, experiences, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

      Thanks in advance!

      Hi David,

      for simple drawings on pictures, you can use the signature pad widget. We have a demo application for this specific case. For image manipualtion including shapes, you might be able to make use of fabric.js. (I have to admit I have not used it myself).
      You can find more information about how to add libraries directly to simplifier here.

      Maybe default canvas behavior is already enough for your usecase. You can find a nice tutorial for working with canvas in the MDN.

      My list is definitely not exhaustive, so there are many other options which could be helpfull for you. I hope this helps in your search.

      Kind Regards
      Lukas
