Bring first-class annotation and markup capabilities to JPEG, PNG, and TIFF files, with non-destructive editing that preserves the original image.
Work directly with image files — no conversion required — while adding highlights, shapes, notes, or stamps.
Annotations are stored in ISO 16684-1:2012 XMP metadata, keeping the source image untouched and fully reversible.
Open annotated images later and continue editing or removing markups without losing quality.
Available on Web, iOS, and Android, with a consistent API for mobile, desktop, and embedded workflows.
HOW IT WORKS
Image Documents makes images “first-class citizens” for annotation and collaboration — with the same flexibility you’d expect from PDFs.
Open JPEG, PNG, or TIFF directly into the viewer via URL, blob, or array buffer — no conversion step needed.
Draw, highlight, comment, or attach images and stamps. All markups are stored in XMP metadata, separate from the original pixels.
Export as an image document with annotations embedded as XMP metadata — or as a PDF if you need a standardized format. Reopen later to continue editing.
