pdfAbout Add Image to PDF
Add Image to PDF runs the PDF document workflow job locally inside your browser. Add an image to your PDF — choose position, size, opacity, and which pages. Perfect for logos, stamps, watermarks, and signatures. The work happens on your machine, the result is generated on your machine, and the page exposes the controls you need to drive it without burying them in menus.
The processing pipeline is straightforward: your input is parsed by the open-source pdf-lib JavaScript library, transformed according to the options you select, and serialised back into a downloadable result. Accepted input formats are PDF, PNG, and JPG. The 200 MB per-file ceiling matches what a typical browser tab can handle without paging to disk.
Most people land on Add Image to PDF via a search at the moment they actually need the tool. That shapes the design: the page is a single screen with the input on one side, the controls in the middle, and the result on the other, so a first-time visitor can complete the job without reading documentation.
The execution model is straightforward: your file is bytes in the tab's memory, the engine reads those bytes, computes the result, and hands the result back to the browser. The transformation happens locally, which is why the tool keeps working when your network connection drops mid-job and why it produces the same result every run for the same input.
Constraints worth knowing about: inputs are capped at 200 MB to keep memory usage in a sensible range, multiple files can be processed in a single run, and the tool must be loaded over HTTPS for the in-browser engine to work. These are properties of the architecture.
As a workflow component, Add Image to PDF is the part you reach for when a single, well-defined PDF document workflow step needs to happen. It performs that step and returns a standard file you can carry into the next part of your pipeline.
Add Image to PDF is shaped around the recurring needs of two audiences: researchers archiving reference papers, who use it as a quick utility between bigger tools, and teachers distributing course handouts, who use it as their primary way of getting the job done. Both groups get the same defaults and the same speed.
When the job finishes, Add Image to PDF hands you the result as `{name}-image-added.pdf`. Filenames are derived from your input where possible, so a quick batch of jobs leaves you with a tidy folder rather than a pile of generic "output (3)" files. Nothing is auto-saved on Favtoo's side because nothing was ever sent there.
Add Image to PDF is honest about scope: it handles a single, well-defined PDF document workflow step. Specialist edge-case work — uncommon formats, very large inputs, or pipelines that need scripting — is what dedicated desktop apps are for. This page handles the common case quickly.
Add Image to PDF is one example of a broader pattern: utility software increasingly works as single-page, client-side experiences. Every page in the catalog is shaped that way, which keeps each tool fast to load and easy to recommend in a single link.
Useful patterns when working with Add Image to PDF: keep the input file open in another tab so you can compare against the result; give the output file a descriptive name when saving so you can find it later (the default name is sensible but generic); and treat each run as independent — the tool has no concept of "history", which means you cannot accidentally pollute one job with leftovers from another.
Add Image to PDF is built around the moment of need: a focused page you open when you have a specific task, complete the task, and close. The catalog contains many adjacent tools so the same model serves the surrounding parts of a typical PDF document workflow workflow.
For most failure modes, refreshing the page and re-running the job is enough — the engine has no persistent state to corrupt. If the same input fails twice in a row, the input itself is most likely the problem (a truncated file, an unexpected variant of the format, or a stream the engine does not recognise).
If Add Image to PDF solved your problem, sharing the page link with someone who has the same problem is the most useful thing you can do. The catalog grows mostly through word of mouth; visitors arriving through a recommendation tend to be the ones the tool serves best.
How it works
- 1Land on the Add Image to PDF page. The tool is ready to use the moment the page renders.
- 2Select the PDF, PNG, and JPG files you want to process — drag-and-drop and the file picker both work.
- 3Adjust the options to match what you need. Sensible defaults cover the most common case, so you can usually skip this step.
- 4Trigger processing. the open-source pdf-lib JavaScript library reads your input, applies the transformation, and writes the result back into the page.
- 5Save the output (`{name}-image-added.pdf`) when it is ready.
- 6Re-run with different settings as often as you want. Each run produces a fresh output and the original file on disk is never modified.

FAQ
How does it work?
Drop a PDF and an image (PNG or JPEG). Choose where to place the image, how large it should be, its opacity, and which pages to apply it to.
Where can I place the image?
Nine positions: top-left, top-center, top-right, center-left, center, center-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, and bottom-right.
Can I control the size?
Yes — choose from Small (15%), Medium (25%), Large (50%), or X-Large (75%) relative to the page dimensions.
Can I make the image transparent?
Yes — set opacity to Solid (100%), Light (75%), Semi (50%), or Faint (25%) for watermark-style overlays.
Which pages?
Apply the image to all pages, first page only, or last page only.
Image formats?
PNG and JPEG are directly supported. Other formats are converted automatically.
Private?
Yes — everything runs in your browser. No file ever leaves your device.
How accurate is Add Image to PDF?
Add Image to PDF is built on the open-source pdf-lib JavaScript library, which is the same class of engine used by professional PDF document workflow pipelines. For deterministic operations, the output is byte-identical to what an equivalent CLI run would produce; for operations involving a codec or a model, the result is well within the range of what comparable tools generate. If you have a specific reference output you need to match, run a small test job first to confirm the configuration produces what you expect.
Are there any usage limits on Add Image to PDF?
Inputs are capped at 200 MB per file, which keeps memory usage stable across phones, tablets and older laptops. You can run Add Image to PDF as often as you need; every run produces a full-quality result.
Are there any restrictions on using Add Image to PDF at work?
Add Image to PDF can be used for personal and commercial work alike — there is no separate "business" licence to purchase. The output you generate is yours to use however you want, including in client deliverables, internal documents, or commercial products. Favtoo's only ask is fair, individual use; the tool is not designed to be embedded as a backend service or wrapped behind an API for resale.
How long does Add Image to PDF take to process a file?
Most jobs finish in seconds. Speed scales with input size and with how many CPU cycles your browser tab has available — the engine runs in your browser, so it shares resources with whatever else you have open. For inputs near the 200 MB ceiling, expect anywhere from a few seconds to roughly a minute on a typical laptop. Closing other heavy tabs noticeably speeds things up.
Which file formats does Add Image to PDF accept?
Add Image to PDF accepts PDF, PNG, and JPG. If your input is in a format that is not directly supported, convert it first using one of Favtoo's converter tools — every Favtoo converter outputs a file that is a clean input to the next tool in the chain.
Where does my file actually go when I use Add Image to PDF?
Your file is processed inside your browser by the open-source pdf-lib JavaScript library. The engine reads the file's bytes from your tab's memory, computes the result, and writes the result back into the tab. You can confirm what the page does by opening developer tools and watching the Network tab during a run — the requests you see are for the tool's static assets only.
Will Add Image to PDF keep working in a year?
Add Image to PDF is updated whenever the underlying engine releases an improvement or a bug fix. Because the tool is delivered as a static page, every visit fetches the latest version automatically — there is no "version" to manage on your end. If a particular release ever changes default behaviour, the change is documented on Favtoo's changelog so you can confirm what shifted.
Will Add Image to PDF ask me to pay to download the result?
Add Image to PDF is free to use. The processing runs in your browser, which keeps the per-user cost low enough that the tool can be offered openly. The download is the same file the engine produced — you can use it for as many runs as you need.
