Combine Two Images Online — Merge Layers in the Browser

Combine two images online in your browser — no upload, no account, no cloud queue. Load your base photo locally, layer a preset transparent graphic on-device, adjust opacity and position, and export one merged file without sending pixels to a server.

No upload · No server · One merged file

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

Base photo plus preset graphic — not two custom uploads

Pix-8 Image Overlay combines your base image with one preset transparent graphic on a client-side canvas in the browser — not a cloud merger that ingests both files first. Choose stars, flowers, birds, sparkles, or hearts, drag into position, adjust opacity, size, and rotation, then download or copy one flattened result. It does not merge photo grids, accept a second custom image upload, or queue batch folders.

Why combine two images online in the browser?

Cloud image combiners route every file through a remote server before export. Pix-8 merges locally — the practical fit when you need to combine two images online for social graphics, portraits, or product shots without sending assets off-device.

Local merge

Your base photo and preset graphic are combined on a canvas in the browser tab. Pix-8 never receives your pixel data.

Placement control

Drag the preset layer into position, then fine-tune opacity, scale, and rotation before you flatten and save.

Single combined file

Download or copy one merged image with the graphic baked in, with optional EXIF metadata stripping before you share.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Open Image Overlay

    Navigate to Pix-8 Image Overlay in your browser — no install, no account, and no upload dialog.

  2. Step 2

    Load base, add the layer

    Open your base photo locally, select a transparent preset from the gallery, and drag it on top. Adjust opacity, size, and rotation on-device in your browser tab.

  3. Step 3

    Export the combined image

    Download or copy one flattened file — your base photo merged with the preset graphic, ready to post or send.

Frequently asked questions

Can I combine two images online without uploading to a server?

Yes. Pix-8 Image Overlay runs entirely in your browser. Your base photo is read locally, combined with a preset transparent graphic on a client-side canvas, and exported from your device. Your files are never transmitted to Pix-8 or any third-party server.

Can I combine any two image files from my device?

Image Overlay combines your base photo with one preset transparent graphic — stars, flowers, birds, sparkles, or hearts — per export. It does not accept a second custom image file as the top layer. To combine your own logo or image file over a photo, use Pix-8 Watermark. For multi-photo collages side by side, use Pix-8 Image Collage Maker.

How is this different from a photo collage or merger app?

Image Overlay merges one preset graphic onto one base photo and exports a single flattened file with drag positioning, opacity, size, and rotation controls. It does not arrange multiple full photos in a grid, stack unlimited layers, or batch-process folders automatically.
