## Description

Overlay is a creative canvas for stunning layered designs, AI cutouts, and social-ready graphics. Remove backgrounds with precision, stack photos, text, and shapes, and blend them with professional effects. Design with gradients, outlines, and glow to make your images pop, plus a built-in sticker maker to reuse favorites.

From quick edits to masterpieces, Overlay guides you through a four-step flow: Cut Out (AI removes backgrounds), Compose (add layers and backgrounds), Perfect (tweak shadows, filters, and blend modes), and Share (export high-resolution creations).

## Review summary

Many users praise Overlay for being easy to use, distraction-free (no ads), and offering good value with a lifetime option, especially for long-time users. However, frequent complaints center on a radical, feature-drop-heavy update, a costly subscription model with messy cancellation, missing core features like opacity and multi-layer support, and occasional technical issues such as blurring and media loading problems.

### Pros

- Easy to use and intuitive interface
- No ads / distraction-free experience
- Perceived good value with a lifetime subscription (one-time/ lifetime option appreciated)
- Trusted and widely used by long-time users

### Cons

- Radical update that changes core features and UI from the old version; many users feel it’s a different app
- Pricing/subscription model is expensive; many prefer a one-time fee
- In-app cancellation / subscription management is difficult or unclear
- Missing essential features in the new version (opacity control, multi-layer support) and limitations (only one overlay; no fade/blend tools)
- Technical issues in the new version (output can become blurry; media loading problems)
