Tips for Adding Images to PDFs

Use PNG for Logos

PNG images support transparency, so your logo won't have a white box around it. Perfect for placing logos on colored backgrounds.

Optimize Image Size First

Very large images can increase PDF file size significantly. Resize your images before adding them if file size matters.

Consider Placement Carefully

Images appear on top of existing content. Position them in white space or where they won't cover important text.
