Getting started creating a video game with PicsArt. This is a photo and video editor for the visual. The development also creates unusual collages on Instagram. There are paid and free options.

It's time to open the Over app.

• Open the program, to start working with a new project, click on the yellow plus.
• Select Image. Download the finished image with the silhouettes of objects. Only with contours! Stretch the file to fill the entire project canvas.
  
• Upload an image from the gallery with a transparent background. Fit it to the contours.
• If you have multiple items on the canvas, save each item on a separate, invisible background for greater accuracy. Then upload files to Over one by one.
• To save the finished version, click on the square with the arrow.
  
• Go back to the image by clicking the back arrow. Now slightly move the image out of the outline frames. If you have selected several items, move each one separately.
