How it works

  1. Upload your background photo

    Drop your main image into EditThisPic. This is the base photo that the overlay will be placed on top of. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB all work.

    Expect: Simple overlays: 20-30 seconds. Complex positioning with resizing: may need 2-3 refinements.

  2. Add your overlay image

    Click the reference image button and upload the photo, logo, or graphic you want to overlay. PNG images with transparent backgrounds work best for clean overlays, but the AI can handle any image format.

    Tip: If your overlay doesn't have a transparent background, the AI can often figure out what to place and remove the background automatically.

  3. Describe the overlay placement

    Type your instruction: 'overlay the logo in the bottom right corner at 20% size' or 'place the frame around the entire photo.' Specify position, size, and opacity if needed. The AI positions the overlay exactly where you describe.

    Tip: Use specific positions: 'top left corner,' 'center,' 'bottom right with padding' for precise placement.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Logo in corner overlay the logo in the bottom right corner, sized to about 15% of the image width with slight transparency
    Try This →
    Decorative frame place the frame overlay around the entire photo, fitting it perfectly to the edges
    Try This →
    Center watermark overlay the watermark in the center of the image with 30% opacity so the photo shows through
    Try This →
    Sticker placement place the sticker in the top left area, angled slightly and sized to look natural like it was stuck on
    Try This →
    3 more prompts
    Product badge overlay the sale badge in the top right corner at a slight angle, making it prominent but not blocking the product
    Try This →
    Multiple positioning place the logo in all four corners of the image, each one small and subtle
    Try This →
    Transparent gradient overlay overlay the gradient on the bottom third of the image, fading from transparent at top to solid at bottom for text space
    Try This →

  4. Generate and adjust

    Tap generate and review the overlay placement. Check positioning, size, and visibility. If the overlay needs adjustment, describe the change: 'move it slightly left' or 'make the overlay larger.'

    Tip: If positioning isn't quite right, tap a marker where you want the overlay and regenerate.

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly where you wanted the overlay placed. This happens when position descriptions are ambiguous.

Try: Tap a marker on the exact spot where you want the overlay, then regenerate with the same prompt
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS spot specifically.' Use them when you need precise positioning.

Overlay is the wrong size

Why: Without specific size guidance, the AI makes assumptions about how big the overlay should be relative to the background.

Try: overlay the logo at 10% of the image width, or: make the overlay twice as large as before
Try This →

Tip: Use percentages (10%, 20%, 50%) or relative terms (twice as large, half the size) for size control.

Overlay has unwanted background visible

Why: The overlay image had a non-transparent background that the AI included. This commonly happens with JPG files or images with white backgrounds.

Try: overlay just the logo/element without its background, remove the white background from the overlay
Try This →

Tip: For cleanest results, use PNG images with transparent backgrounds. The AI can often remove backgrounds but it's not guaranteed.

Overlay is in the wrong position

Why: The AI interpreted your position description differently than you intended. 'Bottom right' can mean different things at different scales.

Try: move the overlay to the exact bottom right corner with a small margin from the edges
Try This →

Tip: Add 'with margin' or 'with padding' to keep overlays from touching the very edge of your photo.

Overlay is too transparent or not transparent enough

Why: The default transparency might not match your needs, especially for watermarks or artistic overlays.

Try: set the overlay to exactly 50% opacity, or: make the overlay fully opaque with no transparency
Try This →

Tip: Specify exact opacity percentages: 20% for subtle watermarks, 80-100% for prominent logos.

Quick answers

Do I need to use layers or masking to overlay photos?

No. Just describe where and how you want the overlay placed: 'put the logo in the bottom right corner' or 'place the frame around the photo.' The AI handles positioning, sizing, and transparency automatically. Markers are only needed if you want to specify an exact pixel position.

How do I overlay one photo on top of another for free?

Upload your background photo to EditThisPic, click the reference image button to add your overlay image, then describe the placement: 'overlay in the top left corner at 20% size.' The AI positions it in 20-40 seconds. No account, no login, no watermarks. Works with logos, frames, stickers, and any image.

Is there a free photo overlay tool that doesn't need an account?

Yes. EditThisPic overlays photos without requiring signup or login. Upload both images, describe where you want the overlay, and download your result. No watermarks. Works directly in your browser without installing any software.

Can I add a logo to multiple product photos?

Yes. Process each photo individually with the same prompt like 'overlay logo in bottom right at 15% width.' The AI applies consistent positioning across photos. For batch processing, just repeat the workflow for each product photo.

What file format works best for overlays?

PNG with a transparent background works best for clean overlays. However, the AI can often remove backgrounds from JPG overlays automatically. Just describe 'overlay just the logo without its background' if you need the AI to isolate the element.

Is EditThisPic's AI photos overlayer really free?

Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For unlimited edits, plans start at $3.99/month.

Can I overlay photos on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android, tablet. No app download needed.

What photo formats does the AI photos overlayer support?

JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Upload any common photo format and EditThisPic handles the rest.
