Preview has a built-in option to add a signature, and you should use that to sign PDFs on your Mac.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Use Your Mac&#8217;s Preview App to Merge, Split, Mark Up, and Sign PDFs<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Add_an_Image_to_a_PDF_with_Preview\"><\/span>How to Add an Image to a PDF with Preview<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By default, you can\u2019t paste an image into a PDF file in Preview. But here\u2019s an unconventional way around that limitation. Luckily, it\u2019s quick and easy to perform.<\/p>\n<p>In Finder, open the folder containing the image that you want to add to your PDF. Right-click the image and select Open With &gt; Preview in the menu.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-722974\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/open-image-preview.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Right-click an image and select Open With &gt; Preview.\" width=\"650\" height=\"265\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>When Preview opens, press Command+A on your keyboard to select the entire image.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-722975\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/copy-image-preview.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Select the entire image in Preview.\" width=\"650\" height=\"382\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Next, press Command+C to copy the image. Now, bear with us: This may seem strange, but it works. Press Command+V to paste the image, and the new copy of your image will cover the original image.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-722976\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/paste-image-preview.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Paste the image on top of the original image.\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Although both images look the same, the one that you just pasted has now become an object that can be pasted into a PDF if we copy it again.<\/p>\n<p>Copy this \u201cobject image\u201d by pressing Command+C. The \u201cobject version\u201d of your image is now in your Mac\u2019s clipboard. It\u2019s OK to close Preview showing the original image file.<\/p>\n<p>Next, locate the PDF that you want to paste the image into in Finder. Right-click the PDF and select Open With &gt; Preview in the menu.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-722977\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/open-pdf-preview.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Right-click a PDF and select Open With &gt; Preview.\" width=\"650\" height=\"241\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In the Preview window, scroll to the PDF page that you want to add your image to. Press Command+V to paste your copied image.<\/p>\n<p>Now, use the handlers around the pasted image to reposition and resize it in your PDF document.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-722978\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/add-image-pdf-preview.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Use the object handles to position and resize your image in the PDF file.\" width=\"650\" height=\"272\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Since Preview automatically saves your changes, you don\u2019t need to manually save your edited PDF. Just close the document and your changes will be saved. If you need to add more images, just open them in Preview and repeat the process listed above.<\/p>\n<p>Preview can be used for many other file manipulation tasks (such as editing photos). You can use this versatile app for many more tasks than just viewing files.
