Lamina
Includes 14 days of Pro. No account. Plus VAT where applicable.
Built to stay predictable.
Tools appear only where they work. Inactive controls step back without moving the toolbar. Every key action works by mouse or keyboard. The toolbar stays active while the overlay is click-through.
Overlay & Align
Place images, resize freely, adjust opacity, and move every overlay precisely, one pixel at a time.
Find Gaps
Point into any gap, and Lamina finds both edges, measures the distance, and skips manual dragging.
Capture from anywhere
Capture any area and turn it into a pixel-perfect overlay. Retina-correct and ready to align.
Inspect
Pick colors with the pixel magnifier and read exact values without any guesswork. Every pick is kept in a palette you can reorder, edit and copy — as plain values or ready-made CSS.
Grid
A grid over the sheet with a base value you choose, a zero point you can place anywhere, and snapping for guides. Optionally baked into the export.
Export
Save your work with every annotation as a PNG and preserve the image’s original resolution exactly.
Compare
Crossfade, split, or amplify differences to reveal every visual change clearly and immediately across both images.
Stay in Place
Keep the overlay above everything on the Space you are working in. It waits in the menu bar until you need it.
Measure & Guide
Add lines, shapes, and guides, measure true image pixels, and snap every element neatly into place.
Work Through It
Lock the overlay click-through, keep building underneath, and leave the reference exactly where it belongs onscreen.
Annotate
Add numbered markers and write notes — baked permanently into every exported image you share.
Copy to clipboard
Send the current state, measurements and all, straight into another app — no file, no export dialog, no detour.
From screen to overlay in one shortcut.
Press ⇧⌘2 anywhere. Draw a region. It lands pixel-perfect as an overlay — on the Space you are working in.
Permission only when you use Capture.
Lamina asks for macOS screen-recording permission only when you capture an area for the first time. Everything else works without additional permissions. Your images stay on your Mac.
LAMINA PRO
You hand over proof, not opinions.
Blend, slide or diff two states — identical pixels turn black, deviations light up. Then export a full-resolution PNG with the measurements burnt in, or send it straight to the clipboard.
Work straight through it.
Lock the overlay click-through and keep building underneath. The reference stays exactly where it belongs while you adjust the real interface below it.
Lamina Free vs. Lamina Pro
Overlay for free.
Measure and match with Pro.
Try the complete app for 14 days. Afterwards, Lamina Free keeps the complete overlay workflow — without a time limit or watermark. Upgrade when you need to measure, compare, annotate or export the result.

Frequently asked questions
Is Lamina an image editor?
Lamina is built for overlaying, measuring, comparing and annotating images — not for cropping, retouching or managing layers.
What can I use Lamina for?
Overlay designs, capture references, measure spacing, compare images, add annotations and export clear visual proof.
Can I try Pro before buying?
Yes. Every Pro feature is unlocked for 14 days without an account or payment details.
What happens after the trial?
After 14 days, Lamina switches to the free version. You can still capture images, place and resize the overlay, adjust its opacity and work through it without a watermark or time limit. Measuring, comparing, annotating and exporting require Pro.
What is included with Lamina Pro?
Pro unlocks the complete measuring toolkit, image comparison, annotations, color inspection, magnifier, grid, PNG export and clipboard handoff.
Can I use my own images?
Yes. Drag them in, paste them from the clipboard or capture an area directly from any app.
Can I keep working underneath the overlay?
Yes. Drag them in, paste them from the clipboard or capture an area directly from any app.
Does Lamina measure anywhere on the screen?
Lamina measures inside its own overlay window. It is not a free-floating screen ruler.
Does Lamina work with Figma?
Yes. Export, copy or capture your design and bring it into Lamina. A direct Figma connection is not required.
Does Lamina keep my work private?
Yes. Images stay on your Mac. Lamina needs screen-recording permission only when you use Capture for the first time.
Can I use Lamina on more than one Mac?
Yes. One licence works on up to three of your own Macs.
Is Lamina a subscription?
No. Lamina is a one-time purchase, with free updates included within the current major version.
Which Macs are supported?
Lamina is built natively for Macs with Apple silicon.
How does Compare work?
Load or capture two images, align them and inspect them with Blend, Slider or amplified Difference view.
Does Compare update live?
Compare works with two still images rather than continuously recording the screen. Capture a new state whenever you want to check the latest version.
How do I preserve measurements and notes?
Export the result as a full-resolution PNG. Measurements and annotations are permanently included.
