How does this tool work?

Adding an image to a PDF lets you insert a logo, a photo, a plan, a QR code or a scanned seal at the exact spot you want on a page. You place the image with the mouse or your finger on the preview, adjust it with handles, then download a new copy of the document. The PDF and the image stay in your browser, which also suits personal documents.

The Add image button accepts PNG and JPEG files. The image appears on the page shown: drag it, resize it with the corner handles and rotate it freely with the rotation handle. You can place several, on one or more pages.

On download, each image is built into its page at the chosen position, size and angle. A PNG keeps its transparency, so a cut-out logo sits on the page without a white frame; a JPEG stays rectangular and opaque.

The image is embedded at its original resolution: a 4,000-pixel photo shrunk to stamp size makes the PDF needlessly heavy. Resize large images before inserting them if file size matters.

How to use this tool

  1. Import the PDF

    The document opens in the editor; go to the page that should receive the image.

  2. Insert and adjust the image

    Click Add image, choose the PNG or JPEG, then move, resize and rotate it.

  3. Download the PDF

    A new copy contains the image at the chosen spot; the original is not modified.

Use cases

Add a logo or graphic header

Place the company logo on a quote or letter exported without a layout.

Complete a document with a photo

Insert an ID photo, a product photo or a screenshot into a form.

Attach a QR code

Add a payment or website QR code to a poster or voucher.

Examples

Logo on a quote

The PNG’s transparency is kept, which a JPEG would not allow. The other pages of the quote are unchanged.

Input

Transparent logo.png, 600 × 200 pixels, placed top left of page 1 and shrunk to 5 cm wide

Result

Quote with the logo built in at that spot, with no white background around it

Tips and best practices

  • Prefer a transparent PNG for a logo and a JPEG for a photo.
  • Zoom in on the page to line the image up precisely with a frame or margin.
  • For a handwritten signature, Add a signature to a PDF also offers an area to draw one.

Frequently asked questions

Which image formats are accepted?

PNG and JPEG. Convert a WebP, HEIC or other image to PNG or JPEG first with a tool from the Images category.

Is transparency kept?

Yes for a transparent PNG: only the visible parts of the image cover the page.

Can I rotate the image?

Yes. The rotation handle allows any angle, on top of moving and resizing.

Can I add the same image to several pages?

Yes, by inserting it on each page you want. For the same visual on every page, Overlay two PDFs may be quicker.

Why did my PDF get much heavier?

The image is embedded at its original resolution, even when shown small. Shrink it before inserting.

Are my files sent to a server?

No. The PDF and the image are read and combined in your browser.
