How to add image overlay to video

  1. Drop the video in, then upload the image you want to overlay (PNG with transparency works best).
  2. Set position, scale and opacity. The preview shows how it will look.
  3. Optionally restrict to a time range, then process and download.

About this tool

Video watermarking and logo placement are common post-production steps, whether you are adding a channel bug to a recording, branding screen captures for a presentation, or protecting footage before sharing a preview. Opacity is the main quality lever — a fully opaque logo in the corner is easily cropped out, while a semi-transparent tiled pattern is much harder to remove.

PNG with alpha is the right image format for this purpose. A logo exported as a PNG with transparency composites cleanly over the video background without any rectangular halo, which is what makes it look intentional rather than pasted on.

Questions

What image format should I use for the overlay?
PNG with a transparent background is ideal — the tool will composite it correctly over the video and you will not get a white or black box around the image. JPEG overlays are supported but will have square edges.
Can I make the logo appear and disappear at a specific time?
Yes. Set the "show from" and "show until" seconds to create a timed overlay. This requires re-encoding the affected section regardless.
