5. Then select your image from your computer and click on Open. Your image will automatically be added to the page. You can resize the image by clicking and dragging on the handles. Move the image by clicking on the image while it’s active and drag it to position the image accurately.

6. Once you’re done, click on Download to save the new PDF to your device or Save a copy to your Google Drive or Xodo Drive.

Using the above method, you can add popular image formats to your documents. You can add PNG to PDF documents or add JPG to PDF pages by simply selecting either of the image file formats in step 5 above.

2. Upload your PDF and select Crop from the menu in the toolbar.

3. Click on the Snipping Tool.
