Light Overlays and Detailed Elements

Light flares, out-of-focus lighting elements, and light leaks have been growing in popularity all over social media. Bokeh photography may require an expensive camera, and special skills to operate it, but luckily for you, Picsart’s new photo overlays simplify the entire process to a few clicks. Bokeh masks will elevate your images and make them stand out even more. Simply upload your image and start browsing our free image overlay library. You will find light flares of different sizes, shapes, positionings, and colors. Select your overlay and continue editing your image. Picsart’s Image Overlays tool allows you to edit the lighting elements, so they fit better with your image. Apply these masks to images and enjoy the magic!
