Tool guide

Insert an image into a PDF

Use the Image controls in the FOLD editor and verify the downloaded result.

Before you start

A PDF you have permission to edit and a saved original copy.

1. Open and inspect

Open the PDF editor and choose your document. Navigate to the correct page and zoom in until the target area is clear.

2. Use Image

Choose a PNG or JPG, place it on the page and adjust its position and size. Preserve its proportions so the image does not look stretched.

3. Download a new copy

Review the edited page, open the download dialog and save a separate file. Inspect the downloaded file rather than relying only on the preview.

Check the result

Check transparency, crop boundaries and image sharpness after export.

What to know

A small source image does not gain real detail when enlarged.
