Method 1: How to Insert Picture in PDF

The first method uses the Add Image function in PDFelement to insert a picture into PDF. It's a simple, three-step process that will take you less than a minute to execute. Let's look at the process in detail:

Step 1: Open your PDF File

After you download and install the software on your PC, click the "Open File" button on the Home page to import the document into the program.

Step 2: Click the "Add Image" icon under the Edit Menu

Click and go to the "Edit" tab, under which you'll see an image icon for "Add Image". The tooltip when you mouseover the icon will say, "Insert picture to the document".

Step 3: Select and Insert Picture to PDF

Choose the image you want to insert into the PDF file and hit the "Open" button. This will insert the image into your file. You can then position it where you want and resize it to fit the content.

Note: Don't worry about the layout being affected because PDFelement will automatically adjust the layout to make the image fit into the chosen position without making the surrounding content look odd or funny.
