Layer option when adding images
Be able to layer images within the app so that you can place objects on top of each other
Hi everyone – this is now possible when adding PNGs that contain a transparent pixel. After adding one, you can click the image and adjust the order. On the web this will show up on the right-side menu, and on mobile there is a menu category for “Order”

Need to transfer the same icon in multiple images but there is no copy/paste in place option.

You need to convert the image as a png, and upload them in order of what layer you want them to be in

Whenever I add a photo, it becomes the background photo. But what I need is to place the photo IN FRONT OF the background. How come there is no such a basic feature!

I found a quicker fix! Save the photo you want to "overlay" as a logo - then you can overlay it however you like. Just be sure to do any cropping before you upload it ;)

why can't I put a photo on top of another photo? it keeps opening it up in it's own frame, sharing the main frame with my background photo, I don't want that.

Sometimes the PNG works sometimes it doesn't. Anyone else experiencing this?

The solution below is great but for how I use the Spark app it kind of defeats the point. Why can't you just add the ability to layer photos normally? I'm genuinely curious about the reasoning behind it.

I finally got this to work using photoshop to create a png with a transparent background. For those who have access to photoshop this is how I created the png file.
1. opened an image I wanted to use in photoshop
2. unlocked the background layer in photoshop
3. created a new transparent layer and moved it below the existing background layer
4. photoshop <image<canvas size
5. increased the canvas size in both the x and y coordinates by several pixels
6. saved the image as a .png and then loaded it in SparkThis worked for me. I had tried before with a single pixel being transparent and that did not work for me. By increasing the canvas size you effectively put a boarder of transparent pixels around the image.

OK, there is something that I am missing here. If some one would be so kind as to post a step by step process for doing this I would appreciate it. I don't see anything in the right hand menu that indicates "Order" or size. There is a slide bar for scale, but that only allows you to zoom in on an image and when I add an image it is always added in its own "frame", never over an existing image. Here is what I am doing with Spark via the web.
1. Create a simple Post with only a single box.
2. Delete everything that is in the template that Spark provided
3. Add a jpeg image that fills the post. (I assume this is then a backgound image, if not how do you create a background image.
4. In photoshop edit a photo and add a transparent background layer and then using the background eraser tool erase a single pixel from the image layer.
5. Save the image as a .png in photoshop using the "Save As" menu
6. In Spark, click on the background image
7. In Spark click on the + and then photo
8. In Spark select the photo created in photoshop to be added
9. Spark then divides the post into two frames a new frame for the downloaded image and a reduced size frame for the background image.
10. It is impossible to move the newly downloaded image over the background image.Hopefully this is enough detail for someone to let me know what it is that I am missing here.
Thanks Jim

This would make spark complete! As a designer, I use spark to quickly post recent work to social. The problem is, i want to be able to place images of designs for posters etc in front of a background that uses my branding. This is particularly important when the work I want to share is a different aspect ratio to the post size. Couldn’t the photos just work the same way as the icons and logos, where you can change the “order” and size?
