Logos are added next to the frame(s) in your layout. When you upload a logo, extra space is created in the layout to accommodate it.

📍 Logos do not cover any part of the photo itself — they appear outside the frame area.

Overlays are placed on top of your layout, directly over the frame(s). This means your overlay file should already include the graphic elements positioned exactly where you want them to appear.

📍 Files intended as logos won't look right when uploaded as overlays — they’ll sit in the center of the layout and cover part of the photo.

Your overlay design should be finalized before uploading it to your settings. You won’t be able to move or adjust elements after the file is uploaded.

💡 Think of the overlay file as a finished sticker — you’re placing the entire design on top of the layout in one step.

Overlays do not stretch or scale to fit your layout. It’s important to design your overlay at the correct size from the start.

📍 A landscape-sized overlay should match a landscape layout, and a portrait-sized overlay should match a portrait layout.

Most design programs ask you to select a size before you begin. The best size for your overlay depends on your iPad orientation and layout settings, including:

💡 Refer to our Design Guide for sizing recommendations based on your setup.

Overlay files sit on top of your photos, similar to a watermark. That’s why most of the file should be transparent, so your photo still shows through.

📍 Only the graphic elements (like borders or text) should be visible. The rest of the overlay should be completely see-through.

Some graphics programs prompt you to choose a transparent background when you start a new file. Others let you add it later in the design process.

💡 For beginners, the easiest option is to start with a blank transparent canvas, then import your logo or add other elements like text and stickers.
