Resizing drawings in Apple Notes? Is it possible?

Can you not resize a drawing you have drawn in Notes after drawing it?

Every other drawing app I have ever used on all my Apple devices allows you to do this.

I cant see a way to do it in Notes.

Am I missing something?

Because it is exactly how I stated it is.

The iOS Notes app is just a basic notes app, lacking in features.


I use Notability, Good Notes and NoteWriter Pro and these are, by far, better notes apps than the basic Apple iOS Notes app.

If you have something you like Apple to put into its iOS Notes app in the next major release of iPadOS, you can send unacknowledged feedback to Apple in the link below.

Apple, to the best of my knowledge all of these years, has never done any sort of, within year, updates to their iOS Notes app.

Apple will issue more regular Pages/Numbers/Keynote and iMovie updates during the year, before offering ANY updates to

their iOS Notes app.

The iOS Notes app does not appear to be a regular priority for Apple.

Something along the same lines as a non-priority for Apple to create/develop its own, native iPadOS calculator for iPads.

I do realize that Apple notes is not as sophisticated as some of the other note taking applications like good notes or Noteshelf etc. But with its latest release and with scribble implemented, it now makes taking notes within our notes that much more appealing. The lack of the ability to size up a graphic within a page, is a ludicrous omission. How hard could that be? Just too weird.

There is NO way to do this in the default, free Apple iOS Notes app.


Apple's default iOS Notes app is limited in its functionalities.

The Apple iOS Notes app is NOT strictly a drawing app.

There are many things the basic Apple iOS Notes app does NOT do.

Apple's iOS Notes app is more of a “showcase” app that demonstrates/inspires what the potential is for a notes-style app can be and more.

IMHO, the default, free Apple iOS Notes app is just a basic, barebones notes app with a limited set of features.

The fact that Apple ONLY updates this app once a year, with the introduction of a new iOS/iPadOS, instead of on an ongoing, regular basis, is an indicator of how Apple treats this app.


There are much better and stable, pay third party notes apps with better feature sets that get regular weekly/monthly app updates from their developers, that will do what you need to do with imported images.



Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
