How to add an image to a PDF with SimplePDF

A photo of a signed form, a scanned receipt, or a screenshot is often the only copy you have, but most tools expect a PDF. SimplePDF adds a JPG, PNG, or HEIC image as a page in your document, right in your browser, so you can fit it onto a clean A4 page and keep going.
Add an image as a PDF page
- Open the SimplePDF editor.
- Select your image from your device (or drag it onto the editor). JPG, PNG, and HEIC are all supported.
- Each image lands on its own A4 page, fitted and centered, ready to edit.
Your image becomes a real PDF page. You can keep editing it like any other document: add more pages, fill in fields, sign it, or download it. Add more images one at a time and each one becomes its own page.
Adjust the image on the page
The image sits on the page as a regular picture you can edit directly:
- Move and resize the image anywhere on the A4 page. It keeps its proportions while you resize.
- Rotate the image 90 degrees with the rotate control on the picture.
- Copy the picture to place it more than once.
- Replace it with another image by selecting the picture and choosing a new file.
Add an image to an existing PDF
You can also add an image to a document you are already working on:
- Load or create your PDF in the editor.
- Select the + button to add a page and choose your image.
- The image is appended as a new page, fitted and centered, ready to edit.
Your image stays on your device
This runs entirely in your browser - your image is turned into a page on your device, not sent to a server to do it. The finished PDF stays with you until you choose to download or submit it. HEIC photos are decoded locally too, so an iPhone photo works the same way as a JPG or PNG.
That's it! Your image is now a PDF page you can edit, sign, and download - all without leaving your browser.
