Add image to video.
Any photo or logo, on any frame.
Put a logo, a product shot or a second angle on your clip, and choose where it sits and when it comes and goes.
Free: iMovie on iPhone, CapCut on Android, Clipchamp on a computer, or FFmpeg. Studio is the paid route: timing to a tenth of a second, a fade, slide or zoom in, and export up to 4K.
- iPhone
In iMovie, Apple's free app:
- Open a movie project and scroll the playhead to where the image should start.
- Tap Add Media, then Photos, and tap your photo.
- Tap More, then Picture in Picture.
- Tap Position Control to drag it or pinch to resize it.
- Tap Done, the Share button, then Save Video.
- Android
In CapCut, a free app:
- Tap New project and pick your video.
- Tap Overlay, then Add overlay, and pick your photo.
- Drag it into place and pinch to resize it.
- Drag the ends of its track to set when it shows.
- Tap Export.
Add an image in Studio
Studio opens on a tablet or computer, not a phone. Studio comes with plans from $19 a month, and each project's first export uses no credits.
- Windows, Mac or a browser
In Clipchamp's free plan (the Windows app or app.clipchamp.com), which exports up to 1080p:
- Click Import media and pick your image.
- Drag it onto the timeline above your video; below it, the video hides it.
- Drag its corners in the preview to size and place it.
- Drag its side bars on the timeline to set how long it shows.
- FFmpeg
- Two tested commands, for a logo or a timed photo: copy them below.
Steps from each maker's help page, checked November 5, 2026: Apple iMovie for iPhone, CapCut, Microsoft Clipchamp, FFmpeg overlay.
Why it stays editable.The image sits on its own track.
Studio never burns the picture into your footage. Each image is a layer above the video, with its own place, size and time on the timeline. The higher track draws on top.

Show it when you say it.Set the second it comes and goes.
Every image has a Start and a Duration. Here the product comes in on “one dot” and leaves after “no streaks”. Drag the ends on the timeline or type the seconds.
Okay, so I've been wearing this literally every single day for, like, two weeks now, and I need to talk about it because look, one dot, that's it, and it just blends in, like, three seconds. No rubbing, no streaks, and the thing I actually care about is there's zero white cast, none on my skin, which honestly never happens. So yeah, that's the review. That's the whole review. I'm done.

How to add an image to a video.Four steps in Studio.
Studio runs in the browser on a computer or a tablet. Every plan includes it.
- 1
Add your video
Open Studio and drop your clip onto the timeline. New projects are 9:16; Swap dimensions turns the canvas to 16:9.
- 2
Drop your image on it
Drag a JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG or GIF onto the canvas. It lands at the playhead on a new track above the video, two seconds long.
- 3
Size and place it
Drag the corners or type a width in Layout. Under Fill, lower the opacity for a watermark or round the corners for picture in picture. Framing crops it.
- 4
Set when it shows, then export
Type a Start and a Duration, or drag the image's ends on the timeline. Add a fade, slide or zoom under Motion. Export MP4 or WebM at 720p, 1080p or 4K.
On a computer, free?Two FFmpeg commands, tested.
FFmpeg is free and runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. Replace input.mp4 and the image's name with your files. 120 and 220 are the image's width in pixels, 30 is its gap from the edge, and 2,6 are the seconds it shows. A PNG keeps its see-through parts. The sound is copied as it is.
A logo in the top right corner, the whole video
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i logo.png -filter_complex "[1:v]scale=120:-1[logo];[0:v][logo]overlay=W-w-30:30" -c:a copy output.mp4
A photo in the top left, from 2 to 6 seconds
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i photo.jpg -filter_complex "[1:v]scale=220:-1[pic];[0:v][pic]overlay=30:30:enable='between(t,2,6)'" -c:a copy output.mp4
Posting to TikTok, Reels or Shorts?Keep it where the app won't cover it.
All three draw their buttons down the right edge and the account name and caption along the bottom. Move the logo and see what covers it.
Covered. The like, comment and share buttons run down this edge.
Product photo with a background?Cut it out first.
Open the photo in the image editor and press Cut out. You get a PNG with a see-through background, and Studio keeps it see-through, so only the product sits on your video.
- JPG and WebP
- Photos and screenshots.
- PNG
- Logos and cut-outs. Transparent parts stay transparent.
- SVG
- Vector logos, sharp at 4K.
- GIF
- Keeps moving on the video.
Photo between clips, slideshow or moving photo?Pick the one you mean.
“Add a photo to a video” means three different things. Here is where each one lives.
A photo between two clips
Drop it on the video's own track, between the clips, at full size. Pick Zoom in under Movement so it doesn't sit still. That's Studio, on this page.
A slideshow of many photos
Twenty photos and a song, cut into one video. The slideshow maker shows how.
A photo that moves
The person in the photo turns, walks or smiles. That's a new clip made from the photo: image to video.
Adding images uses no credits. Each project's first export is free. After that an export costs 10 credits, so the $19 Creator plan covers 50 a month.

Before you add an image
For free, use iMovie on iPhone, CapCut on Android, Clipchamp on a computer, or FFmpeg; the steps are at the top of this page. In Studio, add your video, drag your image onto the canvas, where it lands as its own layer above the video, then resize and place it, set its Start and Duration, and export the video as MP4.
The free routes at the top of this page cost nothing: iMovie on iPhone, CapCut on Android, Clipchamp's free plan, and FFmpeg. Studio comes with plans from $19 a month, and each project's first export uses no credits. Every plan includes commercial use and exports with no watermark.
Adding and placing images uses no credits. The first export of each project is free, and each export after that costs 10 credits. The $19 Creator plan has 500 credits a month.
Use a PNG or SVG with a transparent background. Put it in a top corner, lower its opacity under Fill, and stretch it on the timeline to cover the whole video.
Yes. Each image has a Start and a Duration. Drag it along the timeline to move it, or drag its ends to make it show longer or shorter. A new image starts at the playhead and lasts two seconds.
JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG and GIF. Transparent parts of a PNG stay transparent, and a GIF keeps playing on top of the video.
Yes. Every image is its own layer on its own track, with its own place, size and timing. The higher track draws on top.
Yes. Put the photo on a track under the video, select the video, and turn on Greenscreen in its Effects tab. The green turns see-through and the photo shows behind the person.
Add the photo in iMovie or CapCut with the steps at the top of this page, save the video, then upload it to TikTok. Keep the photo away from the bottom and the right edge, where TikTok puts its buttons and the caption. Studio opens on a tablet or computer, not a phone; its new projects are already 9:16.
No. Here a photo sits on top of a video you already have. Image to video turns a photo into a new clip that moves.
