🎯 Why Use a PDF Overlay Tool?

Overlaying files is useful whenever you need to combine visual elements without editing the original document. Instead of recreating a PDF from scratch, you can simply place another PDF or image on top of it.

This is ideal for adding company branding, approval stamps, signatures, forms, labels or design elements while keeping the original document intact.
