Stream Overlay Builder
Drag and drop a scene, get one link to paste into OBS as a Browser Source
Need a free stream overlay without learning design software?
Design an OBS overlay right in your browser: drag text, images and shapes onto a canvas, then add a single link to OBS as a Browser Source. Nothing to install.
This OBS overlay builder is made for streamers, not designers. The canvas starts at 1920x1080, and you can add text, images (PNG, JPG, WEBP or GIF, up to 15MB) and boxes, then adjust font, size, colour, border, shadow, corner radius and opacity. Snap guides, a grid, locking, duplicate, undo/redo and layer ordering keep layouts tidy, and each element can have a fade, slide-up or pop entrance animation. You can also shift+click to select several elements at once.
Connect your Twitch account to add a follower count or sub goal widget that updates on its own during the stream, with a label template you control, such as "{current}/{target} subs". The overlay page loaded in OBS checks for changes every few seconds, so when you save an edit in the builder your live scene updates without re-adding the Browser Source.
The free stream overlay maker requires a sign-in to save your work, and each account can keep up to 20 overlays. If you'd rather start from a finished look, the overlay presets page has ready-made designs, some free and some paid in coins.
