How to Add an Image to a PDF

By Ayaz · Updated July 2026 · 5 min read

You've got a PDF that needs a logo, a photo, or a signature. You could paste it into Word and re-export, but that's a hassle. Or you could just add the image directly to the PDF.

Why add an image to a PDF?

  • Branding: Add your company logo to proposals and invoices.
  • Signatures: Insert a scanned or drawn signature without printing.
  • Visuals: Add screenshots, diagrams, or photos to reports.
  • Watermarks: Add image-based watermarks for branding.

How to add an image to a PDF

  1. Open PDFly's Add Image to PDF tool.
  2. Upload your PDF.
  3. Upload your image — JPG, PNG, or WebP.
  4. Click on the page to place the image, then drag to reposition or resize.
  5. Download your updated PDF.

What image formats work?

  • JPG: Best for photos and complex images. Smaller file size.
  • PNG: Best for logos and graphics with transparency. Larger file size.
  • WebP: Modern format with good compression.

Tips for positioning

  • Logos: Place in the top-left or top-right corner for consistent branding.
  • Signatures: Place near the bottom of the page, usually right-aligned.
  • Photos: Center them or align with text blocks for clean layout.
