How it works

Add an image to PDF online

The “Add an image to PDF online” workflow consists of 3 consecutive stages. Review the settings and expected output at each stage because processing creates a new copy instead of overwriting the source.

  1. 01Upload file

    Upload the source PDF here.

  2. 02Choose settings

    Choose the settings and review the expected result before processing.

  3. 03Get the result

    Download a separate result without changing the source file.
