How to Insert Image in PDF

Insert image into PDF

The procedure is simple:

  1. Upload the file you want to edit to the PDF Editor tool.
  2. Click on a page thumbnail on the left.
  3. Choose an editing tool from the menu above the preview (Add Image).
  4. Image settings: choose the Width, Height, Aspect Ratio, or Transparency of the image.
  5. Click on "Save as", and once more on the "Save" button to receive your edited PDF!

Pro Tip: Before clicking on the "Save" button, you can also change the file's name (or leave it blank to preserve the original name of the file) and even select the Advanced Security option to prevent others from further editing the document or revealing potential hidden areas.

Before uploading your file, you can also choose to optimize preview for scanned documents in the Optional Settings. It is recommended to enable this option if your file is a scanned document or your file was not correctly shown in the PDF editor.

By selecting editing tools from the menu above the preview, you can easily draw, add text, highlight, add different shapes, etc. on the full-size image of your PDF. Zoom in and out on the page using the magnifying glasses buttons, undo changes, reset the whole page, and so on. It is possible to change the color, font, stroke size, etc. by opening the "Options" menu on the left. All tools you may need for editing PDF documents are at your disposal.

PDF and Image Security – Are My Files Secure?

Absolutely! All servers and connections for the upload and download of your files are encrypted using 256-bit SSL encryption. This makes the transfer of your files between your device and our servers safe and secure. The link with which you can download your converted/edited document is non-guessable and expires after 24 hours or 10 downloads, whichever occurs first. You also have the option to delete your file from our server immediately after the conversion.

The file privacy is guaranteed because no one else has the access to the file except you. PDF2Go does not back up or actively monitor your files: the service is completely automated.
