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 logo, image watermark and PNG frame 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 PNG based on your edited canvas. PicOverlay does not add its own watermark.

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, image watermark, or transparent PNG 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 image watermark — and it composites cleanly over your photo.
How do I add a watermark to a photo?＋
Upload your photo as the background, then upload your logo or transparent PNG watermark as the overlay. Reduce the opacity for a subtle mark, drag it into 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.
What is a photo overlay?＋
A photo overlay means placing one image on top of another — typically a logo, image watermark, or transparent PNG on top of a base photo. The overlay image sits on a separate layer so you can adjust its position, size, and opacity without changing the original photo underneath.
Can I overlay two photos together?＋
Yes. Upload your first photo as the background, then upload the second photo as the overlay. Use the opacity slider to blend them — lower opacity creates a double-exposure effect, full opacity places one cleanly on top of the other.
