How to insert an image into a PDF

Open the document, choose a PNG or JPEG image, and place it on the page. It moves with the mouse or a finger, resizes by its handles while keeping its proportions, and sits above or below whatever is already there. A logo at the top of a quote, a photo in a report, a stamp on a purchase order, a screenshot in a manual: the gesture is the same. Images already in the file are handled exactly like the ones you add, which few online tools allow. The image is not recompressed behind your back, and it is sent nowhere — it goes from your disk into your document without a detour through a server. An image can be removed or replaced afterwards without touching the rest of the page.

A logo, a stamp, a signature

For a stamp or a signature, prefer a PNG with a transparent background: the transparency is preserved, and the mark sits on the text without masking it with a white square. If you have to repeat the same element on every page — a letterhead, a frame, a notice — the overlay tool does that in one go, from a second PDF, and saves starting again page after page.

Frequently asked questions

Which image formats are accepted?

PNG and JPEG. A PNG’s transparency is preserved — a cut-out logo stays cut out on the page.

Can I move an image already in the PDF?

Yes. Click it: it takes its handles like any other element, and can be moved, resized or removed from the document.

Is the image recompressed?

No. A JPEG is embedded byte for byte; a PNG is re-encoded without loss. Either way, the quality you see is the quality you download.

Can I put the same image on every page?

For a repeated logo, the overlay tool suits better: it applies a whole layer to every page at once, instead of placing the image page after page.

Can I place an image on top of another?

Yes, and the order is yours to set: an image you place covers what is underneath, including an image from the document. That is how a logo gets replaced without touching the rest of the page.
