How overlay two pictures to another using HTML-CSS?

I’m trying to overlay two images on top of each other using just HTML and CSS. Can someone explain how to position one image over another? What CSS properties should I use, and are there any specific techniques for making sure the images align correctly regardless of their size? Any tips or examples would be really helpful!

Overlaying two pictures on top of another using HTML and CSS can be achieved with the use of CSS positioning and possibly transparency. Here’s a simple way to do it:

HTML Structure

You can structure your HTML to hold the images you want to overlay:

<div class="image-container">

  <img src="first.png" alt="Background" class="background-image">

  <img src="imageTop.png" alt="First image" class="overlay-image">

  <img src="imageTwo.png" alt="Second image" class="overlay-image">

</div>

CSS Styling

Use CSS to position the images on top of each other.

.image-container {

  position: relative; /* Position relative to contain absolutely positioned elements */

  width: 800px; /* Set the desired width */

  height: 400px; /* Set the desired height */

}

.background-image {

  width: 100%;

  height: 100%;

  object-fit: cover; /* Cover the entire container */

}

.overlay-image {

  position: absolute; /* Position the overlay images absolutely */

  top: 0;

  left: 0;

  width: 100%;

  height: 100%;

  object-fit: cover; /* Adjust as necessary */

  pointer-events: none; /* Makes overlays non-interactive, useful if needed */

  opacity: 0.5; /* Optional: Adjust transparency as needed */

}

Explanation

Container (.image-container): Set as position: relative to allow absolutely-positioned children (overlay images) to position relative to the container.

Background Image: Placed as the primary image using normal flow.

Overlay Images (.overlay-image): Positioned absolutely to stack over the background image, aligned to the top-left corner. Adjust transparency with opacity to allow background visibility.
