Overlay PDF — Merge Pages as Layers

Overlay two PDF files by placing one on top of the other as transparent layers. Perfect for combining templates with content.

What does this tool do?

PDF overlay (also called PDF stamping) places the content of one PDF on top of another. This is different from merging: both PDFs occupy the same page position.

Common uses include adding a letterhead template to a content PDF, combining form data with a blank form, or adding a background to pages.

How to use — 3 simple steps

1
Upload two PDFs

Upload the base PDF and the overlay PDF you want to place on top.

2
Configure alignment

Choose how the overlay is positioned: centered, top-left, or custom offset.

3
Download overlaid PDF

Download the PDF with both documents combined as layers.
