What is Image Editing Mode in PDFDepth?

Pick a target: a placed image or the page itself

Select an image annotation and it becomes the target — its pixel size is shown in the panel. With nothing selected, the target is the current page rendered as an image, which is how you photo-edit a scan. Page edits flatten: the page is replaced by the edited image, so the panel warns when the page still has live text or vector linework, keeps an undo entry, and offers a "Revert last page edit" button that restores the pre-edit page.

The local toolbox — nothing uploaded

Three neighbours round out the panel: "Remove Background" opens the free remover on pdfdepth.com; "Export as PDF" turns the selected image (or page) into a PDF; and "Paste Screenshot" drops the clipboard onto the sheet — Ctrl+V works anywhere on the page. A placed image can also be recolored from its hover toolbar — the pipette remaps the image’s dominant colors, the same editor used when you cut a region and paste it as a transparent overlay.

• Compress — quality slider, JPEG or WebP out, before/after sizes.
• Upscale — 2× or 4× enlargement.
• Resize — exact pixel dimensions with aspect lock and percentage shortcuts.
• Crop — drag a rectangle, free or locked to 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, or 3:2.
• Convert Format — PNG, JPEG, or WebP, with a background color for flattening transparency.
• Remove Watermark — drag boxes over the mark; the regions are inpainted.
• Add Text / Watermark — text or a logo image at nine positions, with size, color, and opacity.

AI edits via Gemini

An AI Edit section sends the target image to the Gemini image model — it needs your API key in Settings. The tools cover region edits on a marked area, adding or removing objects and people, replacing one thing with another, whole-image restyling, clothing and appearance changes, background swap or extension, blending up to three reference images, generative aspect-ratio expansion, designed text insertion (cards, flyers, certificates, social posts), and Magic Layer, which detects objects and lifts each into its own movable layer.

Doing it in PDFDepth

Right panel → Image Editing Mode. Click an image on the sheet to target it, or leave nothing selected to work on the page-as-image. Run a tool, check the preview, and Apply — annotation targets update in place with undo; page targets flatten with a warning and a one-click revert.
