Questions, answered

What is UnderlayX?

UnderlayX is a free online photo layer editor for small sellers and creators. It cuts out the person or product in your photo and lets you build layers around it: text or shapes behind them, a new background, copies, frames, stickers and labels.

Is UnderlayX a free online photo editor?

Yes: a free online photo layer editor. It cuts out the person or product, then you put text, pictures or shapes behind them, change or remove the background, clone them and add frames, stickers and labels. Your first 3 photos are free with no watermark.

Is UnderlayX free?

Yes. Try every tool on the sample photos without an account, and your first 3 photos are free at full resolution with no watermark. Pro is $4 a month for unlimited photos (fair use, up to 300 cut-outs a day).

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. The editor is built for phones first: tap anything on the photo to edit it, long-press for Front, Behind, Copy and Delete, and every tool is in the row under the photo. It works on desktop browsers too.

Does UnderlayX keep my photos?

Your photos stay private: each one is processed securely and deleted right after.

Do I need an account?

Only to use your own photos: sign in with Google. You can try the editor on the sample photos without signing in.
