One PDF — the image is added in your browser, nothing is uploadedAbout adding an image to a PDF
You need a picture on a PDF: your company logo on a quote, a photo on a form, a "PAID" stamp on an invoice, a scanned signature on a letter, a map on page 3 of a report. You do not want to buy a PDF editor for one picture.
Open the PDF here, click Add image, pick the picture and click where it should go. Drag it into place, pull the corner to make it bigger or smaller, and download the finished PDF. Everything else in the PDF stays as it was.
The file is never uploaded. The PDF is opened and changed inside your browser.
Features
- Any page — flip through the PDF and put images on the pages that need them
- Click to place, or drop — the picture follows your mouse and lands where you click, or drop a file straight onto the page
- Drag and resize — the shape is always kept, so a logo never gets squashed
- PNG with transparency — a logo or stamp with a see-through background sits right on the page
- JPG photos stay small — a JPG goes into the PDF as a JPG, not as a much bigger PNG
- Cover what is underneath — tick *Enable Background Color* for a solid box behind the image
- Text too — the same page has *Add text* for a caption, a date or a name
- Zoom — for exact placement on a busy page
Which picture to use
| You want to add | Best file | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| A logo or a stamp | PNG with a see-through background | It sits on the page with no white box around it |
| A signature | PNG from Signature Maker | Draw it once, then place it here |
| A photo | JPG | It stays a JPG, so the PDF stays small |
| A screenshot or a chart | PNG | Small text stays sharp |
WebP pictures work too.
Size and sharpness
The picture is kept at up to 1,600 pixels on its long side. How sharp it prints depends on how big you make it on the page:
| Long side on the printed page | Sharpness |
|---|---|
| 2 inches (5 cm) | 800 pixels per inch |
| 4 inches (10 cm) | 400 pixels per inch |
| 6 inches (15 cm) | about 267 pixels per inch |
| 8 inches (20 cm) | 200 pixels per inch |
300 pixels per inch is print quality, so a logo, a stamp or a photo up to about 5 inches long prints sharp.
Good to know
- Each image stays on the page you added it to. To put the same logo on every page, use Add Watermark to PDF or Add Header to PDF.
- The image is added on top of the page. The text and pictures already in the PDF are not changed or removed.
- A password-protected PDF must be unlocked first with Unlock PDF.
