Photo-booth overlays & animated screens,
designed by AI

Overlay Designer is an AI tool for photo-booth operators. It makes two things: print-ready overlays — the decorated frames with your text, logo and transparent photo windows that sit on top of guest photos — and animated welcome screens for the booth's idle display. You place your windows and text, describe the style, and the AI designs the rest.

Yes. Overlay Designer exports transparent PNGs that work with any photo-booth app — Snappic, Touchpix, dslrBooth, Simple Booth, LumaBooth, Breeze and more. There's also a public API and an embeddable website designer for operators who want it built in.

Yes. Design a full-screen welcome from an event brief, then bring it to life: cut out any element — a balloon, an ornament, the title — with a tap and give it a one-tap motion preset (float, drift, shimmer, pulse and more), on top of a gentle background drift. Export a seamless looping MP4 for your booth's attract screen. No After Effects, no timeline, no keyframes.

Tap it. The magic wand selects a whole object, the Text tool grabs a whole line of text, and the brush lets you paint any shape — then the AI rebuilds the background behind it so the element sits on its own layer, ready to animate or resize. It works on a phone too.

You pay per generation in credits (1 credit = $0.10). A new overlay or an animated screen is 4 credits; smaller edits cost less — restyling or repositioning is 2, a regional change 3, an erase 1, and extracting an element from a screen is 1. Animating a screen, exporting the looping MP4, and applying an overlay to guest photos or video are all free. There's no subscription — buy a pack of credits and use them whenever you have an event.

Yes. You place the photo windows where guest photos show through, add your event text, and drop in a logo. The AI designs the artwork around them and keeps your text and logo exactly in place.

Yes. Paste one embed snippet (WordPress, Squarespace, Wix or any HTML site) and the people renting your booth design their own overlay from the preset designs you choose. They restyle, add their event text, colours and logo, then submit — and the finished, print-ready overlay lands in your account, ready to download and load into your booth. It's locked to your domain, capped per day and per client, and every generation uses your credits.

The embedded designer can be shown to your clients in 20 languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Czech, Greek, Romanian, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. You choose the language per designer in your dashboard.

Transparent PNGs at any size — 4×6 and 2×6 prints, classic photo strips, and custom dimensions — for single prints, multi-shot strips, boomerangs and GIFs. The photo windows are genuinely see-through, so your booth software lays the overlay straight over each capture.

Yes. When a client submits a design through your website they can leave a note for your team. You see it next to the submission in your library and can open the overlay in the editor to make the change before the event.

No. You place the photo windows and text on the canvas and pick a style; the AI designs the rest. You can also restyle, recolour, swap text, erase or repaint any part afterwards — no designer and no Photoshop required.

Yes — a full REST API (generate, restyle, apply to guest photos, async jobs, webhooks) at https://api.overlaydesigner.com/v1, documented at https://overlaydesigner.com/api-docs.
