Blend two images with noise, patterns, or textures to create stylish overlays—perfect for hero images, product shots, and editorial visuals.

About this component

Image Overlay Effect merges a base image (photo/artwork) with a top “effect” image (grain, pattern, film dust, gradient, etc.). Using opacity and blending modes, you can craft any effect you need, like subtle film grain or a bold poster-style textures. Drop it into heroes, case studies, product galleries, or blog covers to keep your art direction consistent with just a few tweaks.


Key features

  • Two-layers: Base image + Effect image (pattern/noise/texture)

  • Blend controls: Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Soft Light, Hard Light, Color Dodge & more

  • Opacity slider: Dial in subtle to dramatic looks

  • Sizing modes: Cover / Contain / Fill with position controls

  • Responsive by default: Looks great across breakpoints


Great for

  • Hero sections with tasteful grain or gradient texture

  • Product shots with soft noise or halftone patterns

  • Case-study thumbnails with consistent art direction

  • Editorial/blog covers with layered poster effects

  • Portfolio grids with subtle brand textures


How to use

  1. Drop Image Overlay Effects onto your canvas.

  2. Set your Base Image (photo, render, product).

  3. Set an Effect Image (grain, pattern, gradient).

  4. Choose a Blend Mode and adjust Opacity.


Notes & tips

  • Multiply is great for grain on bright images;

  • Screen/Overlay can lift darker shots.
