UnderlayX

UnderlayX focuses on a specific visual effect that usually requires a designer: text, shapes or images placed behind a person or product after the subject has been cut out. The tool handles the cut-out automatically, then treats everything you add—photos, text, shapes and widgets—as an editable layer you can reorder, hide or delete. That makes magazine-cover headlines, poster backgrounds and stitched label overlays achievable from a phone.

Beyond text-behind-image, the platform bundles practical e-commerce edits: background removal for transparent PNGs, background replacement with studio scenes or gradients, image overlay for close-up detail shots, subject cloning to show several sizes or colours from one photo, a floating or out-of-frame effect, double exposure blending, and a sticker outline effect. Widgets add ready-made layouts such as magazine cover, headline poster, before-and-after and callouts with labels and prices, plus phone, post, Polaroid and arch frames.

The interface is mobile-first: tap any element to edit it, long-press for front/behind/copy/delete, and all tools sit in a row under the photo. The first three photos are free at full resolution with no watermark, and Pro is listed at $4 per month for unlimited photos with fair-use limits (up to 300 cut-outs per day). Photos are described as processed securely and deleted right after.
