A contract that needs your signature on the last page. A report that needs your company logo on the cover. A form that needs a passport photo stuck onto a specific spot. All of these need one thing — placing an image exactly where you want it on a PDF page.
This guide shows you how to do that using QuickPDFOnline's Insert Image tool. It's free, works in your browser, and your file never gets sent anywhere.
What Does Inserting an Image Mean?
Inserting an image means placing a picture — a logo, a signature, a stamp, a photo — directly onto a PDF page, at the exact spot, size, and angle you choose. Once placed, the image becomes a permanent part of that page, just like the original text and graphics already on it.
Why You Might Need This
- Signing a document: Place a scanned or photographed signature onto a contract, agreement, or form.
- Branding a report: Add your company logo to a cover page or letterhead before sending it out.
- Filling in a photo requirement: Place a passport-style photo onto an application form that needs one.
- Stamping approval: Add an "Approved" or "Verified" stamp image to a specific page.
How to Insert an Image — Step by Step

Move, Resize, and Rotate
Once your image is placed on the page, three simple controls let you get it exactly right:
Move
Click and drag the image anywhere on the page.
Resize
Drag the corner handle to make it bigger or smaller.
Rotate
Drag the rotate handle to angle it however you need.
You can adjust as many times as you like before saving — nothing is final until you click Done and download the file.
Copy the Same Image Across Multiple Pages
Placing a logo or signature fresh on every page by dragging it in each time rarely lands at the exact same size — it drifts a little each time and starts to look uneven page to page. The tool now has a proper Copy and Paste, so the exact same image, at the exact same size and rotation, drops onto any page in one click.
→ Paste
Select the placed image
Click the image box you already positioned and sized on the page.
Click Copy
This remembers its exact size, rotation, and opacity — not just the picture itself.
Switch to any other page
Use the Next / Prev buttons to move to the page where you want the same image.
Click Paste Image, then click on the page
The copy lands at the exact same size and rotation as the original — no manual resizing needed.
Selecting and copying more than one image at once
Need to copy a logo and a signature together, or a pair of photos, while keeping their spacing? Hold Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) and click each image to select several at once. Copy remembers their layout too, so pasting drops the whole group together, in the same arrangement, wherever you click next.
→ Paste
Benefits of Placing Images This Way
- Exact placement: Position the image precisely, instead of guessing coordinates in a different tool.
- No design software needed: No need to open Photoshop or a PDF editor with a steep learning curve.
- Full control: Move, resize, and rotate as many times as you need before finalizing.
- Consistent across pages: Copy an image once and paste the exact same size onto every other page — no repeated resizing, and no drift between pages.
- Stays private: On QuickPDFOnline, everything happens in your browser. Your file and image are never sent to a server.
Common Problems and Simple Fixes
My signature has a white box around it
This happens with JPG images, which don't support transparency. Use a PNG with a transparent background instead — most signature apps and scanning tools can export in this format.
The image looks blurry after placing it
This usually means the original image was small or low resolution, and resizing it larger stretched it beyond its original quality. Start with a higher-resolution image if you need it to appear large on the page.
I need the same image on multiple pages, at the same size
Placing it fresh on each page by hand rarely matches exactly — the size drifts a little every time. Instead, position and size it once on the first page, click Copy, then move to each other page and click Paste Image. It lands at the identical size and rotation every time, so there's no visual mismatch between pages. See Copy the Same Image Across Multiple Pages above for the full walkthrough.
