In illustrator, you can't add a stroke to an image file. But when you click on an image, it shows the option to select a stroke colour/size

In Illustrator 23.0.2 in order to add a stroke to an image, whether linked or embedded, it is necessary to go to the Appearance panel > Add New Stroke. Then, to the stroke you must apply Outline Object effect.
Applying Outline Object to the image or linked file results in the disappearance of the image, although the bounding box remains.
This is significantly different from the behavior of Illustrator 2018 and earlier versions, and is not an improvement.
