The controls you need to get it right
Every tool you need to place an overlay exactly the way you want it — without a learning curve.
Up to 5 overlays at once
Stack a watermark, a frame and a sticker all on the same photo — up to 5 overlay images per canvas.
Resize, rotate and flip
Scale the overlay to any size, rotate it to any angle, flip it — each layer independently, without affecting others.
Opacity control per layer
Slide opacity from fully transparent to fully opaque on each overlay. Essential for natural-looking watermarks and blends.
Snap to corners and edges
Align your overlay to any corner or edge with one click, or drag it freely anywhere on the canvas.
Crop to any ratio first
Crop your photo to square, 4:3, 16:9 or freeform before adding the overlay. Drag the handles for a precise crop.
Export at full resolution
Download a lossless PNG at the original photo's full resolution. No compression, no watermark added, always free.
Nothing is uploaded — everything runs in your browser
Unlike most online editors, PicOverlay never sends your photos to a server. All editing happens locally using the browser Canvas API, so your images stay on your device the entire time.
- No server upload — your photos never leave your device
- No account or email required

Questions about photo overlays
How do I add an overlay to a photo for free?＋
Upload your photo as the background, then add the logo, watermark, texture, or sticker you want on top. Adjust the position, size, and opacity, then export the finished photo as a PNG.
Can I add a transparent PNG overlay to a photo?＋
Yes. Upload a PNG with a transparent background — like a logo or sticker — and it composites cleanly over your photo. No white box, no fringing.
How do I add a watermark to a photo?＋
Upload your photo as the background, then upload your watermark logo or text graphic as the overlay. Reduce the opacity to around 30–50 % for a subtle watermark, or keep it higher for a stronger one. Drag it to any position, then export.
Can I overlay more than one image on a photo?＋
Yes — you can add up to 5 overlay images on a single photo. Each layer has its own opacity, position, size, rotation and flip controls.
Does it work on iPhone or Android?＋
Yes. PicOverlay works in any modern mobile browser — Safari on iOS, Chrome on Android — with no app to install.
What image formats can I upload?＋
You can upload JPG, PNG (including transparent) and WebP. The exported result is always a full-resolution PNG.
