Step 1: Open your PDF File
Launch your preferred PDF editing software and open the PDF file into which you want to insert the image. Most software applications allow you to open files by clicking on “File” and selecting “Open”. Browse your computer’s files and select the desired PDF.
Step 2: Locate the Image Insertion Tool
Navigate to the toolbar or menu bar in your PDF editing software and locate the tool that allows you to insert an image. This tool is usually represented by an icon or a dropdown menu labeled “Insert” or “Image”. Click on this tool to proceed.
Step 3: Select and Position the Image
A dialog box or window will appear, prompting you to select an image file from your computer. Browse your files, select the desired image, and click “Open”. Once selected, your cursor will turn into a crosshair or plus sign. Position the crosshair where you want to insert the image within the PDF.

If desired, you can customize the properties of your image. Right-click on the inserted image and select “Properties” from the contextual menu. Here, you can adjust options such as brightness, contrast, transparency, and more. Play around with these settings until you achieve your desired visual effect.
Step 6: Save and Export the Updated PDF
