What the image overlay tool does

The overlay tool places a logo, watermark or text caption on top of an existing image, anchored to the corner, side or centre you choose. It is the fast way to brand a photo, add a watermark before sharing, or caption an image for social media - no design software required. Your base image keeps its original size and quality; the overlay simply sits on top.

What you can overlay

  • A logo or sticker: upload a transparent PNG to brand product shots and posts.
  • A watermark: protect images you share publicly with your mark or handle.
  • A text caption: add a short headline, price or label directly on the image.

Getting a clean overlay

For a logo, a transparent PNG looks best because only the mark shows. Keep text short so it stays readable, and pick a position with calm background behind it so it does not clash. If you are building images for posts, our guide to AI images for social media covers sizing and placement; for the right file format to export, see PNG vs JPG vs WebP.

Overlay vs thumbnail vs collage

Use overlay to brand or caption a single image at any position. To build a bold 1280x720 title card, the YouTube thumbnail maker is purpose-built, and to combine several photos into one frame, try the photo collage maker.

Questions about the image overlay

Can I add both a logo and text?
Yes. You can place a logo or sticker image and a text caption in the same run, both anchored to the position you choose.
What file works best for a logo overlay?
A transparent PNG gives the cleanest result because only the logo shows, with no box around it. You can make one with the background remover first.
Will it cover my whole image?
No - the overlay is scaled to a fraction of the image and placed in the corner or position you pick, so your photo stays visible underneath.
