Slide Features Guide
1. What are Slides?
OnLayer’s Slide is a core feature that overlays two or more photos, allowing you to compare them in real-time by swiping left and right. It is optimized for tracking subtle differences—such as Before/After shots, makeup or skin tone changes, and photo edits—that are often hard to spot in standard photos.
2. How to Create a Slide
- Select 'Create Slide' from the Home screen.
- Add two or more photos to the project for comparison.
- Move the slider left and right with your finger on the slide screen for a seamless comparison.
- Using Ghost Guide: From the second photo onwards, the 'Ghost Guide' feature allows you to align your shots perfectly by overlaying a faint image of the previous photo.
- Individually customize each image by adding Text or adjusting Rotation / Zoom / Position.
3. Why do the photos overlap in certain modes?
- OnLayer offers two transition styles: 'Normal' and 'Fade'.
- While 'Normal' mode provides a clean, sharp transition, 'Fade' mode uses an 'Overlay Method' where images blend during playback or swiping.
- In Fade mode, the top layer blends progressively over the bottom one to help you intuitively track even the slightest changes in the subject’s position.
👉 The softened transition line in Fade mode is an intentional design choice to provide a more seamless and natural comparison.
4. Exporting as GIF
Turn your slide projects into dynamic 'Animated Comparison GIFs'
- Speed Control: Choose your preferred pace from Slow, Normal, Slightly Fast, or Fast.
- Effect Selection: Choose between 'Normal' for a clean transition or 'Fade' for a smooth overlay.
- Maintain Edits: All your manual edits—including movement, rotation, and zoom—are perfectly captured in the GIF.
- Instant Sharing: View your GIFs in the gallery and share them immediately via SNS or messaging apps.
5. Saving Slides & Project Management
Slide works are saved as 'Projects', allowing you to resume editing at any time without starting over.
- Flexible Re-editing: After saving a project, you can update the following items at any time.
- Text Edits (Content, Size, Position, Angle)

- Fine-tuning (Rotation / Zoom / Position)
- Reorder Slides
- Cloud Backup & Sync
- Secure your work by logging in and using the 'Backup' feature.
- Project data is securely stored in the cloud, so you can retrieve your work via 'Restore' even after re-installing the app or switching devices.
- Diverse Export Options: Save your completed work as high-quality Images or Animated GIFs.
6. FAQ – Slides
Q. I want to adjust the slide transition speed.
- When saving as GIF: You can change the speed by tapping the speed button (Slow, Normal, Slightly Fast, Fast) located to the right of the 'Normal / Fade' effects on the save screen.
- In Preview: The playback screen within the app is designed to react in real-time to the speed of your finger's movement (swipe).
Q. The saved GIF appears black or glitchy.
- Cause: Frame capture errors may occur due to a temporary lack of device memory (RAM) when many filters (movement, rotation, or zoom) are applied to high-resolution photos.
- Solution: Please update the app to the latest version. Try closing other running apps to free up memory, or save your project and restart the app before trying again.
