Use the background upload for the bottom image and an overlay slot for the top image. You can reposition, resize, rotate, and adjust its opacity before exporting.

Can I overlay a transparent PNG?

Yes. Transparent areas in a PNG overlay remain transparent over the background. To export a transparent canvas, use a background image that already has transparency.

What if the two images are different sizes?

The background sets the canvas and export dimensions. Resize the overlay with its corner handles until it fits the composition.

Why does my exported image look blurry?

The export follows the background image's pixel dimensions. Enlarging a small source image can make it look soft, so use higher-resolution files when you need a larger result.

How do I change the transparency of the top image?

Open Settings, choose Opacity, and move the slider. The preview updates as you change the value.
