PDF Ready

Visible photo or image

Add a photo or image to a PDF on Android

Use PDF Ready to place a visible photo or image on a compatible PDF before preparing the final upload copy. This is for simple visual additions, not full layout editing.

Android-first On-device by default Review before clean export

What you can add

  • One visible photo or image asset for the document.
  • A supporting image, ID photo, or simple visual attachment when the destination allows it.
  • Placement on the PDF before Prepare.

How it differs from creating a PDF from photos

  • Creating a PDF from photos turns images into document pages.
  • Adding a photo places an image onto an existing compatible PDF.
  • Both workflows can then go through Prepare and clean export.

Size and readability impact

  • Adding an image can increase file size.
  • Choose the upload target after adding the image.
  • Review the result to make sure both the original document and added image are clear.

Boundaries

  • PDF Ready is not a full image layout editor.
  • Use the feature only when the destination accepts a visible image inside the PDF.
  • Keep the original untouched in case the destination rejects the modified copy.
