Overlay PDF
Layer a second PDF on top of another — perfect for annotating templates, drafts and comparisons, entirely in your browser.
Layer one PDF on top of another: stamp a signed cover page onto a report, drop annotation sheets over a template, or combine a marked-up draft with its original for comparison. You choose which file goes on top, and the overlay is applied in your browser — no merging services, no uploads, no accounts.
How to use Overlay PDF
- Upload the base PDF — the document that should sit underneath.
- Upload the second PDF that will be layered on top of it.
- Confirm which file is the overlay so the stacking order is right.
- Apply the overlay and download the combined document.
Frequently asked questions
Which PDF ends up on top?
The one you designate as the overlay — its pages are drawn over the base document's pages, exactly like placing one printed page over another. The base file stays underneath in full, with the overlay content appearing above it wherever the two meet.
What is this typically used for?
Adding signed or stamped cover pages to reports, layering annotation sheets over templates, superimposing a revised header across a document, or keeping an overlay version beside the original for review workflows — anything where two documents belong visually together.
Do my files get uploaded for overlaying?
No. Both documents are parsed and combined inside your browser, and the result is written locally for download. Sensitive drafts can be layered and shared without either file ever leaving the machine you are working on.
