Important Facts You Should Not Miss

Search Text is case sensitive

The placeholder match is exact and case sensitive. A template placeholder written as SIGNATURE will not be found by a Search Text of signature, so keep the casing identical on both sides.

Two files in, one document out

The module needs both the Word document and the image as binary buffers. Map each from its own prior download module, then read the finished document from the Doc Data output.

Target pages precisely

Pages accepts a single number, a list like 1,3,5, a range like 2-4, or all. Combine it with Skip first page to leave a cover page untouched during the replacement.

What is Replace Text with Image in Word in Make?

Replace Text with Image in Word is Make's PDF4me module for swapping a text marker in a DOCX file for a picture. It accepts a Word document, an image, and a search term, then returns the document with the image inserted at each match. Unlike editing each file by hand, this module personalizes documents at scale inside an automated scenario.

How does the Replace Text with Image module work in Make?

The module scans the pages you select for the exact Search Text, then substitutes each match with the mapped image while preserving the surrounding layout. It returns a new DOCX and leaves the original untouched. The most common use is dropping a signature or seal image into a contract at a fixed placeholder. Microsoft documents the manual equivalent in its Word help center. For scenario building patterns, see the Make help center.

Typical Setups

Insert signatures into contracts

Trigger when a contract is ready in cloud storage.
Download the DOCX and the signature PNG from their steps.
Set Search Text to SIGNATURE and Pages to all.
Convert the result to PDF and send it for records.

Drop a logo into templated letters

Read letter data and download the template.
Map the logo image and set Search Text to LOGO.
Upload the personalized DOCX to SharePoint.

Stamp a seal on one page

Download the document and the seal image.
Set Search Text to SEAL and target Pages to the specific page.
Use Skip first page to avoid the cover.

Practical Tips

Search Text is case sensitive

Keep the casing identical between the template placeholder and Search Text. SIGNATURE will not match Signature.

Use a unique placeholder

Choose an unlikely marker such as SIGNATURE or LOGO so it never collides with ordinary body text.

Pages accepts ranges

Use a single page 1, a list 1,3,5, a range 2-4, or all. Combine with Skip first page to exclude a cover.

Map both filename and data pairs

Provide Word File Name plus Word File, and Image Filename plus Image File, mapped from their own download steps.

Original is preserved

The module returns a new DOCX and leaves the source untouched. One credit per document.
