Stream Overlay Maker
Drag and drop webcam frames, labels, and info panels on a canvas layout designer, then export a transparent PNG overlay ready for OBS or Streamlabs.
🔒 This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server.
Click a layer to select it, then drag to reposition. Checkered background shows transparency.
How it works
- Add webcam, label, or panel layers with the buttons above the canvas (three sample layers are added by default).
- Click a layer to select it, then drag to reposition it.
- Edit the selected layer's text and accent color.
- Download the layout as a transparent PNG for your streaming software.
FAQ
What layers can I add to my overlay?
A webcam frame placeholder, a text label (e.g. "Now Playing"), and an info panel (e.g. follower alerts) — each draggable and editable directly on the canvas.
How do I reposition a layer?
Click it to select it, then drag it anywhere on the canvas. Its position is bounded to stay fully within the frame.
Why does the exported PNG have a checkered pattern in the preview?
That checkered background represents transparency — it is not part of the export. The downloaded PNG has a real transparent background, ready to layer over your camera or game capture in streaming software.
Can I use this with OBS or Streamlabs?
Yes — download the PNG and add it as an image source in your streaming software. Because the background is transparent, only your designed layers show over your other sources.
Is my layout uploaded anywhere?
No. The overlay is composed and rendered locally on a <canvas> in your browser — nothing is sent to a server, including when you download the PNG.
