Double Exposure Effect on Two Images

Blend two photos into a single film-style double exposure composition: a base image (often a portrait) and a second image (often a landscape or texture) mixed with a lightening blend mode.

Example:
25 MB max per image. The second image is cropped to cover the entire area of the first.

How it works

The second image is resized to completely cover the area of the first, optionally converted to grayscale, then drawn on top with a "screen" or "lighten" blend mode. These modes never darken the base image, recreating the luminous blend characteristic of a real film double exposure (two shots on the same roll).

What's the difference between "screen" and "lighten"?

"Screen" combines the brightness of both images in a continuous, smooth way, giving a progressive blend. "Lighten" simply compares each pixel of the two images and keeps the lighter one, producing a more contrasted result with sharper transitions between the two photos.

Why convert the second image to grayscale?

Classic double exposures often use a black-and-white landscape or texture as the second layer, letting the colors of the base portrait dominate. Uncheck this option if you prefer a color mix between the two images.

Cropping, grayscale conversion, and blending of the two images are computed entirely in your browser: your photos are never sent to a server.
