Double exposure began as exposing the same frame of film twice, and it's a staple of film posters and album covers: forests, cities or starry skies showing through a person's silhouette. This tool recreates it with blend modes. The first image is the subject — ideally a portrait or profile on a white or light background — and the second is the landscape or texture. In the default Screen mode the white background stays clean and the landscape appears only in the darker parts of the portrait, the classic approach; multiply, overlay and soft light are there to experiment with. Zoom and move the overlay so treetops or skylines land just right, and turn the subject black and white for a richer look.

## How to use

1. Upload two images: a portrait first, then a landscape (drag to reorder)
2. Choose a blend mode and adjust overlay opacity, zoom and position
3. Click Blend double exposure and download

## FAQ

### How do I get the best result?

Use a portrait with a clean outline on a white or light background (profiles work especially well), a landscape with clear layers such as forests, mountains or skylines, and the default Screen mode.

### My portrait's background isn't white — what now?

Use the Remove Background tool to replace it with white first, then come back and blend.

### Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser with no network upload, and is discarded when you close the page.

### Do I need to sign up or pay?

No. The site is completely free, needs no account, has no usage limits and adds no watermark.
