What is an Overlay?
An Overlay in the Fiesta Software is a decorative frame that sits on top of your captures, and can be applied to Photo, GIF, Boomerang, Video, or 360 captures.
Overlays have no background, and are fully transparent where your guests' captures will show through from beneath the design, while the Overlay design sits on top of the capture.
How To
Create An Overlay
- Log in to Fiesta
- Select Design Studio
- Select Create Design in the upper right
- Under the Single Capture section, select the orientation
- If selecting Landscape or Portrait orientation, select the size
From here you can use the Design Studio Editor to change text, add art assets, and further customize the selected design.

What To Know
Difference Between Photo Templates And Overlays
Each Overlay contains a single Placeholder layer, which is a fixed layer indicating where a guest's capture will automatically appear once the capture is taken. Unlike in Photo Templates, Placeholder layers in Overlays cannot be added, removed, resized, or repositioned.
Templates, however, contain between one (1) and four (4) Placeholder layers which can be adjusted in size or shape. Photo Templates also have a Background layer, allowing for the adjustment allowed in Placeholders.
How To
Upload Custom Overlays
- Log into the Fiesta app
- Select Design Studio
- Select Upload Design in the upper right
- Select Select File or drag and drop the Overlay File
- Select Upload
The Overlay file can now be accessed in the Fiesta Library and added to events.

What is the difference between an Overlay and a Photo Template?

Help! I uploaded an Overlay but I can't see the photos, just the Overlay design!
- Overlays must be transparent PNG files when uploaded, as they are applied over top of the captures. If the file is not transparent PNGs, the capture will not be visible
Can I upload more than one Overlay to an event?
