    I tried this on 0.14.0 (the x64 portable build) on Windows 11 with a mouse, and moving and resizing worked:

    • In All tools ▸ Edit a PDF, and in the Edit tab, I clicked an image that was already in the PDF. It got corner handles, a drag moved it, and a corner drag resized it.
    • An image added with Add content ▸ Image moved and resized too.

    So something about your setup or file probably matters. 0.14.0 changed how taps and pen input reach the page, so the input device is worth knowing. Could you share:

    1. Your operating system, and whether you use a mouse, a touchpad, a pen or a touchscreen.
    2. Which tab and tool you start from, and what happens when you click the image. Do the corner handles appear?
    3. Whether the image is part of a scanned page or sits under text. If you can, attach a PDF where it happens.

    I am using Windows 11.

    Across different PDFs, images simply are not movable, or editable.

    Thanks for the video, it shows what's happening. Edit a PDF is open from All tools, but the page is still on the Select tool: clicking the image highlights it and shows the text bar (Add comment, Highlight, … Copy) instead of corner handles.

    In 0.14.0, opening Edit a PDF from All tools shows the panel but doesn't turn editing on. Only the Edit tab in the top bar does. My earlier test didn't catch that, sorry.

    Until a fix ships: click Edit in the top bar, next to All tools, then click the image. It should get corner handles you can drag to move or resize it.

    #4605 fixes this, so that All tools ▸ Edit a PDF turns editing on straight away. It's approved and waiting to be merged.
