You can use a

element for this purpose.
and following CSS
.container {
background-image: url('background-image.jpg');
position: relative;
}

.overlay {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: 1;
}

Hi, I've created a Word doc with a few different examples of an overlay with CSS.

You can overlay an image over a background using CSS by using the position property and the ::before or ::after pseudo-elements. Here's a basic example:

HTML:

<div class="container">
  <img src="overlay-image.jpg" alt="Overlay Image">
  <p>Content goes here</p>
</div>

CSS:

.container {
  position: relative;
}

.container::before {
  content: "";
  background: url('background-image.jpg');
  background-size: cover;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  opacity: 0.5; /* Adjust the opacity as needed */
  z-index: -1; /* Place the overlay behind the content */
}

In this example, the ::before pseudo-element is used to create the overlay. Adjust the background property with the path to your background image, and you can also adjust the opacity to control the overlay's transparency.

Make sure to adjust the paths to your actual image files, and customize the styles to match your design.

The HTML will look like this:

 <header>
        <section class='hero-header'>
            <h1>Software development</h1>
            <h2>Javascript developer</h2>
            <button>Hire Me</button>
        </section>
    </header>

The css will look like this

 header {
        height: 100vh;
        width: 100%;
        text-align: center;
        padding-top: 100px;
        color: white;
        overflow: hidden;
        background: #c04848; /* fallback for old browsers */
        background: linear-gradient(rgb(72, 0, 72, 0.8), rgb(192, 72, 72, 0.8)),
          url("/luke-peters-B6JINerWMz0-unsplash.jpg");
        background-size: cover;
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
      }
      header h1,
      h2 {
        margin: 2rem;
        font-size: 3rem;
      }
      header button {
        padding: 1.5rem;
        border-radius: 0.2rem;
        background-color: white;
        border: none;
        font-size: 1.5rem;
        color: rgb(72, 0, 72, 0.8);
        font-weight: bold;
      }

The result will look like this
