What this tool does

  • Preset transparent overlays (stars, flowers, birds, sparkles, hearts)
  • Drag to position overlay on the canvas
  • Opacity, size, and rotation controls
  • Download or copy flattened output
  • Optional EXIF metadata stripping before export
  • On-device processing — images never uploaded

Layer overlays without a cloud upload

Image Overlay composites preset transparent graphics on a client-side canvas in the browser — not a cloud editor that receives your file first. Choose from stars, flowers, birds, sparkles, or hearts, adjust opacity, size, and rotation, then download or copy. It does not include custom overlay uploads, batch queues, or server-side filters.

Why add image overlays online in the browser?

Cloud overlay tools route every file through a remote server before you see a result. Pix-8 processes locally — the practical fit when you need to add image overlay online without sending portraits, product shots, or campaign assets off-device.

Client-side by default

Your base image and overlay are composited on a local canvas in the browser. Pix-8 never receives your pixel data.

Preset graphics, precise placement

Select a transparent overlay from the built-in library, drag it into position, and fine-tune opacity, size, and rotation before export.

Instant flattened export

Download or copy a single merged image to your clipboard, with optional EXIF stripping before you share.

    Download or copy

    Export the merged image to your device or copy to clipboard — ready for your feed or workflow immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add an image overlay online without uploading my photo?

Yes. Pix-8 Image Overlay runs entirely in your browser. Your base image is read locally, the overlay is composited on a client-side canvas, and you export from your device. It is never transmitted to Pix-8 or any third-party server.

Can I upload my own overlay graphic?

Image Overlay uses a built-in preset library — stars, flowers, birds, sparkles, and hearts — that you position on your photo. It does not accept custom overlay file uploads. For a logo or image watermark from your device, use Pix-8 Watermark. For typed text, use Pix-8 Text Overlay.

How is Image Overlay different from Watermark or Text Overlay?

Image Overlay layers transparent preset graphics with drag positioning, opacity, size, and rotation controls — ideal for decorative effects on social posts. Watermark places your own logo or image file with opacity and position controls. Text Overlay adds draggable typed text with font and color controls. Image Overlay does not include pin-style callouts, arrows, or multi-annotation markup.
