What Overlay PDF does

Overlay PDF is a browser-based Filozy tool built for this task: Lay one PDF over another — letterhead, a draft mark, a stamp. It runs on this device, creates a separate result, and does not require an account or document upload.

Use Overlay PDF to choose a base PDF and an overlay PDF, place letterhead, draft marks, or repeated pages over the original. Both files remain local and page matching is performed before a combined copy is exported. Filozy starts the document engine only after you choose a file, performs the work inside this tab, and creates a new result for you to save. Your selected document, its filename, and its contents are not sent to Filozy.

How to overlay pdf in your browser

1. Choose a base PDF and an overlay PDFSelect a base PDF and an overlay PDF from the dropzone. Filozy reads it locally and shows the relevant preview or controls before changing anything.
2. Review the settingsUse the page preview and available options to decide exactly how overlay pdf should handle this document.
3. Create and check the resultRun the tool, review the reported page count, size, or notes, then save the newly created file while keeping the original.

Before you start

• Plan the pages, position, text, color, and size before applying a repeated change.
• Keep important text inside a safe margin so printers and page crops do not hide it.
• Work on a copy when the output will make comments, fields, or additions permanent.

Limits worth knowing

• The result depends on the structure and quality of the source document, so visually inspect the exported file before relying on it.
• Browser memory varies by device. Very large or unusually complex PDFs may work better when processed in smaller groups.
