Why Insert an Image into a PDF?
Adding images to PDFs is useful in many situations:
- Company logo: Add your logo to letterheads, invoices, or reports
- Signature image: Insert a scanned handwritten signature

How to Insert an Image into a PDF with DocMint
Step 1: Open the Annotate PDF Tool
Navigate to DocMint's Annotate PDF tool. This tool supports adding images as annotations that are permanently embedded into the PDF.
Step 2: Upload Your PDF
Click "Select PDF" or drag your document onto the upload area. The PDF will open in the annotation editor.
Step 3: Add Your Image
Click the "Add Image" button in the toolbar (the image icon). Select your image file from your device. Supported formats include JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP.
Step 4: Position and Resize
Once the image appears on the PDF, you can:
- Move: Click and drag the image to any position on the page
- Resize: Drag the corner handles to make the image larger or smaller
- Rotate: Use the rotation handle to adjust the angle
- Delete: Click the delete button to remove the image if needed
💡 Pro Tip:
For logos and signatures, use PNG images with a transparent background. This ensures the image blends seamlessly with the PDF without a white box around it.
Step 5: Save and Download
Click "Save" to flatten the image into the PDF permanently. Then download the file. The image will be visible to anyone who opens the PDF.

Common Use Cases
Adding a Company Logo to Invoices
Upload your invoice PDF, add your company logo PNG (with transparent background) to the top-left corner, resize to the appropriate size, and save. Your branded invoice is ready.
Inserting a Signature
Scan your handwritten signature and save it as a PNG with a transparent background. Insert it into the signature field of any PDF form. Alternatively, use DocMint's Sign PDF tool to draw a signature directly.
Adding an Official Stamp
Create or scan your official stamp as a PNG image. Insert it onto the relevant pages of your document. This is commonly used for "APPROVED", "CONFIDENTIAL", or "RECEIVED" stamps.
Converting Images to PDF
If you want to convert an image file into a PDF (rather than inserting an image into an existing PDF), use DocMint's Image to PDF tool. This converts JPG, PNG, and other image formats into a PDF document.
