Why use it

What this free tool does

On top or underneath

Letterhead usually goes underneath; stamps and notes on top.

First page on every page

One letterhead page for the whole document.

Page by page

Overlay page 1 on page 1, page 2 on page 2, and so on.

Repeat in turn

Cycle through the overlay pages.

Fill, fit or actual size

Choose how the overlay is sized on each page.

Opacity

Make the overlay as faint or solid as you like.

Letterhead without retyping

Many companies keep their letterhead as a PDF. Instead of pasting text into a template, write your letter in any app, save it as PDF, and lay the letterhead underneath here. The result looks as if it was written on the letterhead.

Both PDFs stay as vectors, so text from either one stays sharp and selectable.

Tip: Overlay hides the content? Choose Underneath, or lower the opacity.

Your files stay on your device

Most online PDF sites upload your documents to their servers. Aleynray Ai does the work inside your browser instead, on your own computer or phone.

Nothing is sent anywhere, so contracts, bank statements, IDs and medical forms stay private, and there is no waiting for uploads.
