Winter overlays: snow, bokeh, glitter, string lights & frost flowers

16 snowfall overlays for street, market, and landscape photos, ranging from gentle flurries through heavy snowfall to a blizzard with wind streaks. The flakes are layered by distance: distant ones small and pale, close ones large and soft, plus variants in warm lamplight and at blue hour. Each overlay is included as a JPG on black at 6000 × 4000 px in landscape and 4000 × 6000 px in portrait orientation, as well as a transparent PNG, with instructions for Photoshop, Affinity Photo, GIMP, Canva, and mobile phones.

14 overlays featuring large, soft snowflakes in the foreground, just as they dance in front of the lens at a wide-open aperture. Three frame variations leave the center of the image clear so faces stay clean, and there are also flash orbs, backlit flakes, and warm bokeh snow. Each design comes as a JPG in landscape and portrait formats (6000 × 4000 and 4000 × 6000 px) and as a transparent PNG; the instructions explain how to use them in Photoshop, Affinity Photo, GIMP, Canva, and on mobile.

18 bokeh overlays with blurred Christmas lights in circle, hexagon, star, heart, snowflake, and fir tree shapes. As with a real cut-out aperture, all the lights in a file share the same shape and orientation, and toward the edge of the frame they turn into cat's eyes. The colors range from warm gold through cool white and red-rosé to multicolored string lights, and there is also a tree of lights and a bokeh frame. Formats: JPG 6000 × 4000 px landscape and 4000 × 6000 px portrait on black, transparent PNG at 2400 × 1600 px, instructions as a PDF.

14 string-light overlays for cozy Christmas portraits and product photos: garlands at the top of the frame, a frame all around, strings running diagonally into the depth, a curtain of lights, icicle lights, and colorful globe lights. The strings sag in space, with nearby bulbs becoming large, soft discs and distant ones turning into bright points with a halo. Formats: JPG 6000 × 4000 px landscape and 4000 × 6000 px portrait on black, transparent PNG at 2400 × 1600 px, instructions as a PDF.

14 glitter overlays in gold, silver, rose gold, and holo: fine gold dust, large sparkle stars with four, six, or eight rays, curved glitter arcs, and falling glitter rain. Just like real glitter, a few sparks shine brightly while many only shimmer lightly. Each overlay is included as a JPG in landscape (6000 × 4000 px) and portrait (4000 × 6000 px) orientation, as well as a transparent PNG, along with illustrated instructions.

12 overlays with warm light like analog film: light leaks from the left, right, top, and corner, a diagonal light streak, a red film end, and a soft warm haze. For candles and lamps, there is a candlelight glow and two light plumes. The gradients are saved with fine grain and show no banding even with heavy editing. Formats: JPG 6000 × 4000 px landscape and 4000 × 6000 px portrait on black, transparent PNG at 2400 × 1600 px, instructions as a PDF.

12 frost overlays featuring fern-like ice flowers that grow inward from the edge of the image and stop where they meet a neighboring crystal. They include ice flowers all around, in two corners, and from the bottom, a peephole, fine feathers, bold ferns, hoarfrost, individual ice crystal stars, and frost mist. Each overlay is available as a JPG in landscape and portrait (6000 × 4000 and 4000 × 6000 px) on black, and as a transparent PNG, with instructions.
