How does the Replace Image Area work?

Replace an image area on a PDF page by drawing a white rectangle over the existing visual content and then overlaying your replacement image scaled-to-fit (aspect ratio preserved). Honest about scope: this is VISUAL replacement — the original image's bytes remain in the PDF's underlying XObject store, just visually hidden under the white rectangle and the new image. For privacy-sensitive use cases (replacing a face / logo for redaction reasons), also run Permanent Redaction on the same area to actually remove the original bytes.

Frequently asked

No — pdf-lib cannot directly swap XObject content streams. The original image is still in the file, just visually hidden. For genuine removal, run Permanent Redaction on the same area afterwards.
