How to overlay an image using Pixlr?

Step #1

Access the Pixlr Editor: First, navigate to the Pixlr website (pixlr.com) and choose the Pixlr Editor that best suits your needs, such as Pixlr E or Pixlr X. Once in the editor, open the image you want to work with by clicking "Open Image" or "File" > "Open."

Step #2

Add an Overlay Image: To add an image overlay, click the "Add image" or "Layer" > "Add image" option in the editor. This will open a new window where you can browse your computer or cloud storage to select the image you'd like to overlay.

Step #3

Once the overlay image is added, use the transformation tools to resize and position it. Click and drag the corners to adjust the size, and click and drag within the image to move it to the desired location on the base image.

Step #4

To create a seamless blend between the base and overlay images, adjust the opacity and blending mode. In the Layers panel, select the overlay layer and use the Opacity slider to control transparency. Experiment with blending modes from the drop-down menu to find the best fit.

Step #5

When you're satisfied with your image overlay, save your work by clicking "File" > "Save" or "Download." Choose your preferred file format, quality, and destination, then click "Save" or "Download" to export your final image with the overlay.
