# Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you again. I'm afraid you're trying to make an image-editing application? Or is it style a social network where people post photos anonymously ?None of the options need an API, thunkable itself makes it possible for us. ---

In the layout you can overlap both images and components. [https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5b30711947be56acbd8860ec/project/properties/designer/](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5b30711947be56acbd8860ec/project/properties/designer/) ---

To save the image, you can make a screenshot of the screen. In Thunkable X, you can not edit or save images. Therefore, to create a composition of images, you need to look for online services for working with images. For example: [http://www.online-image-editor.com/](http://www.online-image-editor.com/) Also you can see the frameworks for working with images. ---

Using Z Index (under Advanced - Positioning) worked for me; set the first image Z Index to say, 10, and the one that should appear on top of that to 100. ---

If you use the new drag and drop designer you can simply drag the components on top of one another. Changing the order in the list on the left hand side will change which control is on top and which is underneath ---
