Free OBS overlays with a live editor

VXH Overlays is a free studio for animated stream overlays. Pick an effect, set it up in the preview and copy one link into a Browser Source in OBS Studio, Streamlabs or any other streaming app.

No sign-up, no plugins to install, no watermark. Every overlay has a transparent background, and all settings live in the link.

What you can customize

  • Full-screen effects: snow, rain, confetti, emoji, fireflies, petals, fireworks, stars, film grain
  • Webcam frames: neon, HUD corners, name frame and 8 holiday themes, each in 5 versions: animated, realistic, 3D, cartoon and neon
  • Bars and text: scrolling ticker and social rotator
  • Save settings in your browser and use share codes to move them between computers

Questions and answers

How do I add an overlay to OBS?

Copy the link from the editor, then in OBS click Sources → + → Browser, paste the link into the URL field and set the size shown below the preview.

Are the overlays free?

Yes. All overlays on overlays.vxh.pl are free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limits.

Does it work in Streamlabs, Meld and TikTok Live Studio?

Yes, in any app that has a browser source (Browser Source): OBS Studio, Streamlabs Desktop, Meld Studio, XSplit and TikTok Live Studio.

Where are my settings saved?

All settings are stored in the OBS link itself. You can also save them under a name in the "Saved" tab, but that copy lives only in this browser's storage (localStorage). It won't be there on another computer, which is why the VXH1- share code exists for moving settings around.

Does the overlay slow down my computer?

Effects are drawn on a single canvas or in CSS and run smoothly in OBS. If your computer is on the slower side, lower the "Amount" slider or the source size.
