Floating Image

Floating Image lets you place selected images above other apps as movable floating overlays. It is useful for visual reference, design comparison, drawing guides, recording, teaching, presentations, and multitasking.

You can add images from your device, move them around the screen, scale them, rotate them, adjust opacity, hide or lock them, and manage their stacking order with the Layer Editor.

Key features:

- Float images above other apps

- Move images with one-finger or two-finger drag

- Scale and rotate images with two-finger gestures

- Adjust image opacity globally or per image

- Hide or lock individual images

- Organize image layers with the Layer Editor

- Reorder layers or bring a layer to the front from the Layer Editor

- Tap a visible, uncovered part of an overlapping image to bring it to the top

- Use transparent PNG images with touch-friendly transparent areas

- Use the optional Control Dot to open or close the Layer Editor while using other apps

- Use notification controls to open the app, temporarily hide all images or return visibility to the Layer Editor, and show or hide the Control Dot

Free and Pro:

- Free version supports up to 2 floating images

- Pro supports up to 9 floating images, or up to 30 with High Capacity Image Mode

- Pro unlocks Pass Through mode for locked images

- Pro unlocks one-tap angle reset

- One-time purchase, no subscription

Layer Editor:

The Layer Editor lets you manage each image separately, including visibility, lock state, opacity, deletion, angle reset, and stacking order.

You can open or close the Layer Editor by tapping the Control Dot or by using the Layer Editor button on the main screen.

Dot mode:

Dot mode temporarily overrides overall image visibility or lock behavior without changing the states saved in the Layer Editor.

To return control to the Layer Editor, double-tap the Control Dot once or twice for Display, or long-press it once or twice for Lock. Each gesture advances one enabled mode.

Individual visibility and locks can be edited when the corresponding Dot mode follows the Layer Editor. Notification controls can temporarily hide all images or return visibility control to the Layer Editor; Show Dot and Hide Dot affect only the Control Dot.

Touch behavior:

When images overlap, tap any visible, uncovered part of an image to bring that image to the top. Areas not covered by the actual image remain usable in the app underneath, including transparent parts of PNG images.

If an image is locked and the lock mode is Pass Through, the app underneath can also be used through the covered image area.

Image limits and performance:

High Capacity Image Mode is optional. The app keeps a hard safety limit because more floating images use more memory and overlay windows.

Supported images:

- PNG

- JPG/JPEG

- WebP

- Transparent PNG images

- Large images are automatically resized before being used as floating overlays

Important notes:

- Android limits touch-safe floating windows to 79% opacity. This is why Floating Image opacity controls stop at 79%.

- If locked images overlap in Pro Pass Through mode, the app may automatically lower overlapping layer opacity to avoid Android blocked-touch warnings.

- Some apps or screens may block overlays for security, such as banking apps or system permission screens.

- On some vivo/OriginOS devices, keep the main app in Recents and move it to the background so the Control Dot remains available.

Privacy:

Floating Image stores selected images locally on your device. Images are not uploaded to any developer server.

Permissions:

- Display over other apps: required to show floating image overlays above other apps

- Notifications: optional control notification for quick access to overlay controls

- Battery settings: optional, but may help Android keep the overlay available more reliably in the background

Floating overlays can be closed at any time.
