Use this only when the destination accepts a passport-style photo inside the PDF instead of as a separate upload. Add the image first, check placement, and continue with Prepare only if the document still needs route or size work.
Visible passport photo inside the PDFBefore PrepareOnly when the destination allows it
When to use this
Use it only when the photo belongs inside the document
Add one visible passport-style photo only when the destination accepts the photo inside the PDF.
If the destination wants a separate photo file upload, do not use this path.
Do this before Prepare when the file still needs route or size work afterwards.
What this is not
Not a compliance shortcut or acceptance guarantee
Adding a passport-style photo to the PDF does not guarantee that the destination accepts it. This is not a photo editor and it should not replace a separate photo upload when the destination explicitly asks for one.
From the current file row in Originals, open the row menu and choose Add photo/image.
Step 1
Start from the current document
Open the source row menu in Originals and choose Add photo/image. This is a before-Prepare edit on the current document.
Step 2
Choose one passport-style photo
Pick the photo you need to include. In this workflow, think of it as one visible image asset for the current document.
Step 3
Place and resize it on the page
Put the photo where it belongs on the page and resize it so the document still reads clearly. This updates the current document in place; it does not create a separate prepared result just for adding the photo.
Step 4
Reuse it only where needed
Reuse the same image on the pages that need it. In this version, the safe mental model is one image asset per document, reused where needed.
Step 5
Prepare after adding the photo
When the photo is in the right place, open Prepare, choose GENERAL, IRCC, or CEAC, review the prepared result, and clean export only at the end.
