Photo Overlay Editor

This tool enables layered image composition by applying one or more overlay assets atop a base photo. It handles common image formats (PNG and JPEG) for both base and overlays, preserving transparency and enabling non-destructive edits so the original files remain intact. Users can reuse overlay assets for future projects and maintain consistency across a library of visuals. The workflow is designed for fast iterations, making it suitable for fashion product shots, social media visuals, marketing banners, and editorial layouts where overlays provide branding, texture, or visual emphasis.
Conceptually, each overlay is transformed through independent controls for position, scale, and rotation, then blended with the underlying image using a chosen blend mode (normal, multiply, screen, overlay, and others). A per-layer opacity value and optional masking shape or feathering determine how much of the overlay is visible and where it appears. The system applies layer-by-layer compositing using standard alpha equations, ensuring consistent results across assets and preserving color fidelity through sRGB workflow.
Who benefits includes professional photographers needing quick branding marks, design teams producing product catalogs, and social media managers seeking consistent textures. Typical use cases include watermark overlays for attribution, texture overlays to add mood or depth, color-tint overlays to align with campaigns, and logo accents that stay legible at multiple sizes. The tool supports saving and reusing per-project presets so teams can reproduce a look across dozens of images without reconfiguring settings each time.
Unique value lies in its focused, multi-layer overlay capability combined with a non-destructive workflow and practical presets that speed up common tasks. Core features cover base and overlay imports, per-layer transforms, opacity and blend mode settings, masking with feathering, edge alignment controls, and export options suitable for web, social, and print. By concentrating on overlay-driven edits, users achieve polished, brand-consistent visuals with less complexity than full-image editors and without costly software.
