QFILMSSEPT 17–20 · LONG BEACH

Put this on your own photo.

Transparent overlays and ready-to-paste captions for the 33rd Long Beach QFilm Festival. Take one, drop it on a photo you already have, post it.

How to use one

Long-press, copy, paste into your Story.

  1. Long-press the size you want below and choose Copy.
  2. Open Instagram and start a Story or a Reel with your own photo.
  3. Tap Aa, then tap the text field twice to bring up Paste.
  4. It lands as a sticker with the transparency intact. Pinch to size it, then post.

Honest caveat: this paste trick is reliable on iOS. Android behaviour varies by phone and keyboard. If the paste does not appear, use the fallback: save the PNG to your camera roll, then add it in the Story editor as a photo sticker. Same result, one more tap.

Eleven overlays, three sizes each

Pick one.

Shown over example photos so you can see how they sit. The photo is not part of the download — the file is transparent everywhere except the artwork, so your own picture shows through.
