Floating Image lets you place selected images over other apps as movable floating overlays.
You can add one or more 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.
Supported images:
- Supports common image formats such as PNG, JPG/JPEG, and WebP
- Supports transparent PNG images with alpha channel
- Best suited for still images
- Large images are automatically resized before being used as floating overlays
- The longest image side is kept up to 4096 px, or about 2x the screen width on smaller screens
- Free version: up to 2 floating images at the same time
- Pro version: up to 9 floating images at the same time
Key features:
- Add multiple images at once within your current image limit
- Move images with one or two fingers
- 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
- Long-press a layer thumbnail to change image stacking order
- Tap a visible, uncovered part of an overlapping image to bring it to the top
- Use apps underneath through areas not covered by the actual image, including transparent areas in PNG images
- Use the optional Control Dot for quick access while using other apps
- Optional notification and Quick Settings controls for the Control Dot
Pro features:
- Add more than 2 floating images, up to 9 images at the same time
- Let touches pass through locked images with Pass Through mode
- Reset one image angle or all image angles with one tap
- Auto-restore floating image layouts
Layer Editor:
The Layer Editor lets you manage each image separately. You can change visibility, lock state, opacity, delete images, reset image angle, and adjust the image stacking order.
Touch behavior:
When multiple floating 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. For transparent PNG images, transparent parts can also let touches reach the app below.
Control Dot:
The optional Control Dot gives quick access to image controls while you are using other apps. Tapping the dot opens the Layer Editor. Double-tap cycles through the selected display modes. Long-press cycles through the selected lock modes.
Dot mode:
Dot mode is a temporary overall display or lock mode. It does not change each layer's eye or lock state in the Layer Editor. If you hide the Control Dot while a Dot mode is active, Floating Image can keep the current Dot mode instead of forcing images back to the Layer Editor state.
Important notes:
- Triple-tap hide only hides an image by changing its Layer Editor visibility. It works only when Triple-Tap Image Hide is enabled and Dot display mode is set to Follow Layer Editor visibility. The image remains in the Layer Editor. To remove it completely, delete it from the Layer Editor.
- If an image is locked and the Pro lock mode is Pass Through, the app underneath can also be used through the covered image area.
- Android limits touch-safe floating windows to 79% opacity. This is why 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.
- On some vivo/OriginOS devices, the Control Dot may depend on the main app staying in the background. If this happens, move the app to the background instead of closing or cleaning it from recent tasks.
Privacy:
Floating Image stores selected images locally on your device. Images are not uploaded to our servers.
Permissions:
The app requires the "Appear on top" permission to display floating images over other apps.
Notification control and Quick Settings control are optional.
