How do I edit an image? - How do I edit an image? Once an image is uploaded to the community, it cannot be edited directly. This includes both the image itself and any associated metadata. To change an image, you must edit your post, remove the existing image, and upload the updated image. Any text, description, or context should be updated in the post body itself. Images attached to posts are tied to that post; there is no separate album or metadata editor. Tip : Always double-check your image before uploading to avoid needing replacements.
