What Is An Overlay?
An Overlay is a transparent design that appears on top of a single capture. Overlays can add text, logos, graphics, and other design content while allowing the capture to remain visible through transparent areas.
Overlays can be used with Photo, GIF, Boomerang, Video, and 360 captures and can be created or customized in the Design Studio Editor.
Note: Design Studio is only available through the Fiesta Web App on computer or mobile web browsers.
What To Know
Difference Between Photo Templates And Overlays
An Overlay uses one fixed capture Frame that fills the design canvas beneath the Overlay content. Because the capture area is fixed, Frames controls are unavailable when editing an Overlay.
A Photo Template can contain between one and four adjustable Frames and includes a Background behind the design content. Photo Templates provide additional control over the size, position, and arrangement of captures within the finished design.

What To Know
Overlay File Requirements
Custom Overlays must use a transparent PNG file so the capture remains visible beneath the design. The file dimensions must also match the required orientation and size for the intended event.
Files larger than the supported dimensions may not display as intended. Learn more about Fiesta File Requirements

FAQ
Can more than one Overlay be added to the same event?
- Yes. Multiple Overlays can be available within the same event. The Overlay used for a capture depends on the event configuration and available capture options.
Where can an uploaded Overlay be found after it is added to Design Studio?
- Uploaded Overlays are available from My Designs in Design Studio.
Do changes to an Overlay update captures that were already created?
- No. Changes saved to an Overlay apply to captures created after the updated design is saved. Captures created before the change remain unchanged.
