Photo montage
Drop a background, then add cut-outs or PNGs on top and drag, scale, rotate and flip each one. Flatten it into a single image. Nothing is uploaded — it all happens in your browser.
Layering photos: one background, anything on top
A montage here is a stack: one background photo at the bottom, and as many images on top as the joke, the mock-up or the poster needs. Drop the background first, then use Add image on top for each layer — a friend's face onto a film poster, your product photographed into a room, a car parked somewhere it has no business being. Each layer stays its own object until the very end, which is the whole advantage over drawing apps: you can pick any layer up again, nudge it two pixels, shrink it, or throw it away without disturbing anything underneath. The order of the stack matters too — later additions cover earlier ones, and Bring to front promotes whichever layer you have selected when something important ends up hidden.
Moving, sizing, rotating and fading each piece
Click a layer to select it — a frame appears around it — then drag to move. The Size and Rotation sliders do the fitting: matching a pasted object's angle to the perspective around it is what separates an obvious paste-job from a double-take. Flip mirrors a layer, which quietly fixes the most common problem of all — a cut-out facing the wrong way. Fade makes the selected layer see-through, from 0% (solid) to 100% (gone), and its sibling Background fade does the same to the bottom photo, which turns a busy background into a soft backdrop that lets the layers carry the image. Every slider has − and + buttons for single-step precision, because landing a drag on exactly 12 degrees is nobody's idea of fun.
The transparent-PNG trick that makes montages look clean
The single biggest difference between a montage that works and one that does not is the edges of what you paste. An ordinary rectangular photo dropped on top brings its whole rectangle — object, background, everything. The clean way is to prepare the layer first: cut the object out with /cut-out-shapes, or key its background away with /image-transparency, and save the transparent PNG. Dropped in here, only the object itself shows — no box around it, no white corners — and it settles onto the new background as if it were photographed there. This is the intended workflow, not a power-user trick: clean the piece first, then montage. Thirty seconds of preparation in the cut-out tool routinely saves ten minutes of trying to hide a rectangular border.
Flattening: the point of no return, clearly marked
Flatten & download bakes the whole stack — background, layers, fades — into one PNG at the background's resolution and hands it to you. It is worth being clear about what that means: the download is a single image, and the layers cannot be separated again in the file. Inside the tool, however, your stack is still alive after downloading — so if the result reveals a layer one nudge off, adjust it and flatten again; nothing was lost. Do the same when you want variants: download, change one layer, download again. Like our other image tools, the free tier covers five images per day at up to 10 MB each, and free downloads carry a small CONVERTBURDA.COM mark — a day pass or unlock removes it. The photos themselves never leave your browser at any point.
How it works
Everything happens in your own browser — no photo is ever uploaded. Drop a background, add one or more images on top (a transparent PNG, like a cut-out from our Cut out shapes tool, sits cleanly on the background), arrange them, and flatten to a single PNG. Perfect for putting an object where it doesn't belong — for a laugh, a mock-up or a poster.
What kind of images can I put on top?
Any image works, but a transparent PNG looks best — only the object shows, with no rectangular border around it. Cut one out first with our Cut out shapes tool, then drop it here.
