About This Feature
Overview
Replace Image lets you replace an existing image in a PDF with a new image file in WPS PDF on Windows. After replacement, the new image keeps the original image position and display size, which is useful when you want to update visuals without rebuilding the page layout.
Core tasks include:
- Replace an image: Select the original image, open the Image Editing tab, and use Replace Image to import a new file.
- Adjust the replaced image: After replacement, drag the image to a new position or resize it with the handles to finalize the page layout.
This feature is useful for updating marketing PDFs, correcting outdated visuals in reports, and refreshing product or profile images in fixed-layout documents.
