 ## Examples
 
+### <a name="annotation"></a> Add annotations to an image (--annotation)
+
+The `--annotation` flag lets you add annotations the image index, manifest,
+and descriptors when creating a new image.
+
+The following command creates a `foo/bar:latest` image with the
+`org.opencontainers.image.authors` annotation on the image index.
+
+```console
+$ docker buildx imagetools create \
+  --annotation "index:org.opencontainers.image.authors=dvdksn" \
+  --tag foo/bar:latest \
+  foo/bar:alpha foo/bar:beta foo/bar:gamma
+```
+
+> **Note**
+>
+> The `imagetools create` command supports adding annotations to the image
+> index and descriptor, using the following type prefixes:
+>
+> - `index:`
+> - `manifest-descriptor:`
+>
+> It doesn't support annotating manifests or OCI layouts.
+
+For more information about annotations, see
+[Annotations](https://docs.docker.com/build/building/annotations/).
