Blend Images: Image mix editor

A photo editor built for one job: layer one photo over another and merge them into a single picture — combine two images into a double exposure, a light leak, or a film grain texture composite. Two-image photo editing done properly: 16 real blend modes, one-time purchase, no subscription. Everything stays on your Mac — no account, no upload. 16 BLEND MODES Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Soft Light and twelve more, with a compare grid that previews your own photo pair in every mode at once. MASK WITH PRECISION Smart Subject and Smart Background selection find the subject or the backdrop for you — best with a clearly recognizable subject — and the magic wand, lasso and mask brush refine it by hand. Edge feather keeps the border clean. Exclude the subject and blend only what sits behind it. PRESET LOOKS Nine creative presets across double exposure, light leak and film texture packs — each sets blend mode, opacity and finish together. CHECK YOUR WORK Every edit is live: canvas preview, texture opacity slider, before/after split view, and an export preview with exact pixel dimensions. EXPORT AND SHARE Save as PNG, JPEG, TIFF or BMP from 0.5× to 4×, tune JPEG quality, or copy the finished composite straight to the clipboard. Photo editing that stays on your Mac: no account, no upload, no subscription.

Social media creators building an aesthetic double-exposure feed. Marketing designers laying a texture or color wash onto a campaign photo. Anyone who wants a real photo compositing tool — a focused photo overlay and double exposure app rather than a full editing suite. Focused by design: one photo pair at a time — no layer stacks, no batch processing, no subscription. The app works fully offline and requires macOS 14 or later; your photos never leave your Mac.
