Layering one photo on another is an artistic technique that can breathe new life into ordinary photos. For example, you can use it to create a composition by mixing several photos of the same scene but with different lighting. The effect will be stunning!
Of course, this can be done using Photoshop on a computer, but not everyone knows how to use it. Fortunately, in addition to many standard editing functions, many mobile photo editors can do this. In this review, we will tell you about the best of them.
Pixlr
Pixlr is a very powerful and the easiest to learn photo editor of all presented. It will make your photos look like they were taken by a professional photographer. It even has an auto-editing feature - the application will automatically select the desired brightness and contrast.
After adding the main image, select the Double Exposure tool and add a second photo to be superimposed on the first one. It's very simple. Using the cleaning tool, you can remove unnecessary fragments, as I did with the girl's T-shirt (see screenshot).
In the settings, you can choose the intensity of each function and experiment with color and shades. You can add text to the image. The resulting result can be saved in JPG or PNG format. The number of options is constantly growing thanks to the active work of programmers.
Available for Android And iPhone.
Snapseed
If you've ever searched the internet for a photo editing app, you might have heard of Snapseed. It lets you edit your photos as if they were edited by a professional in Photoshop. The program is close to professional, but it's much easier to use. You won't have to spend weeks to figure out how it works (unlike Photoshop).
To avoid fiddling with manual settings every time, you can simply choose one of the many presets. There is even an option to remove people from the photo and a great sharpening tool that does not degrade the image quality.
Available for Android And iPhone.
Photo Blender
The name of this app speaks for itself. It allows you to mix different details in a photo like a blender, so that the result is an interesting image. You can forget about boring photo editing. Now it is an exciting process: you can experiment with double exposure, there is a large selection of moving objects, quotes and other additional elements that can be superimposed on the image.
The program has a large selection of templates. They will quickly make the image look like you spent several hours editing it. Crop the photo, make a mirror image of the photo or combine multiple images in a collage. Want to add something original? Use double exposure, which will allow you to combine several photos into one.
In just a few seconds, you can change the background of a photo to play a prank on your friends or colleagues. Post a photo on a social network that looks like you're in Paris or London, and then enjoy the comments. Photo Blender develops creativity, trains your imagination and the ability to find original solutions. Try it - you definitely won't be disappointed.
Available for Android And iPhone.
Galaxy Overlay Photo
In Galaxy Overlay Photo you can adjust brightness, contrast, add a black and white filter and change the sensitivity of each filter. There is a color scheme setting for each picture. This even allows you to change the color of the sky: for example, make it pink or dark blue. But here you can only overlay stars, the Milky Way, etc. You cannot combine two of your pictures.
You can add captions and frames to your photos, the choice of which is impressive. They are all grouped into categories, which makes it much easier to find the right option. There is a section of Polaroid frames, multi-colored and even designed for congratulating on certain holidays.
Available for Android And iPhone.
Photo Lab
As you can guess from the name of this application, it is a whole digital photo lab. It opens up a huge scope for the implementation of creative ideas.
What is this app best for? Literally anything. It gives the user the opportunity to try thousands of ready-made filters, correction tools, overlays of one photo on another and dozens of templates. There is an automatic background change and a function to add text to images.
Portrait mode, blur effect and many other effects are added to the standard set of tools. You can use an unlimited number of templates and even apply double exposure. Their number is constantly growing - replenishment occurs every week. Each tool can be customized manually.

Overlay
With Overlay, you can add any text to your photos, mix several pictures into one, and make many other adjustments. It is worth noting the absence of annoying watermarks, which you usually have to pay to remove. There is a set of masks for changing human faces. For example, you can turn a face into a cat's or dog's face.
With almost fifty fonts, you can always find the right one. Funny hints that appear on the screen from time to time will not let you get bored. The application is free to use. It is supported by advertising, but ads do not appear often.

PhotoGrid
PhotoGrid is a great app with a lot of options. Most of them are free to use. But sometimes you will see ads and a watermark will be placed on the image. To remove it, you will have to upgrade to the premium version.
The interface is quite simple and does not require additional skills in working with photography. It will take you only a few minutes to understand how everything works. For example, with just a couple of clicks you can turn photos into memes, comics and collages. Or even insert moving elements to create animation.

It has a huge number of presets and individual editing tools. There are also several selfie tools that allow you to remove wrinkles, blemishes, and other skin imperfections.
You can play with double exposure to create a new image from two photos. Various fonts will help to decorate the photo with a suitable inscription or a ready-made quote from the Over database. There is paid content with a rather high price. However, for a fan of free options it will be quite enough.
