ImageEditor: Drawing Annotations Layer - Drawing, Shapes

This is a feature request for an annotations layer that provides lines, shapes, text, etc.

These annotations:

Should not embedded into the bitmap until the image is saved (or otherwise flattened).
Should be importable/exportable as JSON data so that the developer can load/save the annotations separate from the image.

As an example of these features, see Techsmith's SnagIt Editor app.

Hello Frank,

The status of this item is still Unplanned. I can assure you that we have it in mind and track its demand, still cannot share a time-frame when this feature will be implemented for the ImageEditor control.

Hello Kurt,

Thank you for the nice words.

We'll have the mentioned functionalities in mind for the .NET MAUI Image Editor control.

I have upvoted and would like to see the .NET MAUI version of the ImageEditor to be similar to the WPF version.

Add Draw simple shapes and text over image like you have in the WPF image editor component.

You guys are doing an amazing job!

Thank you in advance, Kurt

Hi Raymond,

I am sorry to hear the lack of this functionality prevents the migration to our controls.

We're prioritizing our backlog according to various factors, and customers' demand is indeed one of them, but there are other important factors as well - task complexity and overall product roadmap, to name a few. You can take a look at our current roadmap here: What's Coming in 2024?

I've raised the priority of this feature per your comment, we're going to update the item as soon as there is any progress on it.

Hi Didi,
May we know how many votes this feature need to have in order to be added to your backlog? :)
Lack of adding text annotations blocks our plans for migration from Syncfusion to Telerik...

Hi Juan,

The ImageEditor allows you to save images https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/maui/controls/imageeditor/saving-image. You can save the image in the following formats: Jpeg, Png, Gif and Bmp. Still the annotations are not implemented in the control. When there is an update on this feature request, the status of the item will be changed.

A brand new .NET MAUI course was just added to the Virtual Classroom. The training course is developed to help you get started with the Telerik UI for .NET MAUI components and features. It aims to put you in the shoes of an engineer who adds new features to an existing application. You can check it out at https://learn.telerik.com

Would be nice if you can save the image with the drawing on top as PNG all together.
