Insert Images into a PDF using Preview on Mac - Updated Tutorial 2024

We go through, how to insert an image into a PDF on Mac using Preview.
This is the best tool I have ever discovered! This makes editing a PDF on Mac, much easier and faster!
Let's get straight into this! Here are some written instructions.
Step 1. Open both your PDF and image side by side in Preview.
Step 2. Select the area of the image, you want to paste into the PDF. Use CMD-C to copy the selection and using CMD-V to paste it into itself.
Step 3. Then select this new image and use CMD-X to cut the image and paste it into the PDF using CMD-V.
I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial!
Cheers
Luke

Do you want to learn more about me?
I grew up in the remote north-west corner of Australia 🇦🇺 known as the Kimberley. It's approximately the size of California, but with a population of about 90,000 people. It was a beautiful & rugged place to grow up.
I started my journey in marketing back in the Kimberley, where I dabbled in videography. Before I knew it, I was filming weddings & commercials for local businesses. As much as I loved videography, I didn't like the pressure of filming for clients 🎥
A few years later, I moved to Adelaide (South Australia) and decided to learn digital marketing 📲. From there it's been a rollercoaster, my business has snowballed as I built up my skills & got better at my work.
Now, I find myself focusing on digital marketing, education & being active outdoors. Follow along for the journey 🌎

HOT DAMN!!! Thank you so much! I was thinking of opening Photoshop for this.

[@ubauba1378]

You beauty! I have been needing to do this with my signature in a PDF document for YEARS. I have literally been > opening the page I want to sign in photoshop > adding my signature > saving at correct scale (difficult) > inserting the page back into the pdf > and it's never been the same resolution. What a palaver! Just tried it and it worked perfectly. Thank you mate. Appreciated.

Doesn't work. Just comes up with some error noise. So frustrating.

[@cruz3444]

wait yes me too did you figure it out. i hate being computer illiterate its so sad and makes work hard CRIES

[@vermatony]

@@cruz3444 and @willforward the error sound is because you are in markup mode. Just OPEN the PDF and try pasting the image, it will work

[@gnogno35]

Yes it does not work on all systems but as always, no info is given for the system needed to make it work. On my 10.14.6, at step 3 there is no mean to copy the newly created image :-(
