Put One Image Over Another — Layer on a Local Canvas

Put one image over another in your browser — no upload, no account, no cloud queue. Load your base photo locally, place a transparent preset graphic on top on-device, and export a flattened merge without sending your files to a server.

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

Place a graphic over your photo — locally

Image Overlay puts a preset transparent graphic on top of your base image on a client-side canvas — not a cloud editor 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 accept a custom second image upload or multi-layer compositing.

Why put one image over another in the browser?

Desktop editors and cloud tools often require uploading both files before you can layer them. Pix-8 composites on-device — the practical fit when you need to put one image over another for social graphics, portraits, or product shots without routing pixels through a remote server.

On-device layering

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

Top-layer control

Drag the preset graphic into place, then fine-tune opacity, scale, and rotation before you flatten and export.

Single merged file

Download or copy one flattened image with the overlay baked in, with optional EXIF 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 server upload step.

  2. Step 2

    Load base, place the top layer

    Open your base photo locally, pick 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 composite

    Download or copy the flattened image — one file with the top graphic merged into your base photo.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put one image over another without uploading to a server?

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

Can I use any image file as the top layer?

Image Overlay places a transparent preset graphic — stars, flowers, birds, sparkles, or hearts — on top of your base photo. It does not accept a second custom image file as the overlay layer. To put your own logo or image file over a photo, use Pix-8 Watermark.

How is this different from placing text or annotations on an image?

Image Overlay composites one preset transparent graphic over your base photo with drag positioning, opacity, size, and rotation controls. Text Overlay adds draggable typed text with font and color controls. Image Annotator attaches pin-style callout labels for screenshot markup. Image Overlay does not include arrows, numbered markers, or multi-annotation layers.
