LayerX Alternatives
LayerX is described as 'An intuitive app to display transparent images on screen' and is an app in the development category. There are eight alternatives to LayerX for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Web-based and Microsoft Edge apps. The best LayerX alternative is Overlay2. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try PixelPerfect or Afloat. Other great apps like LayerX are AfloatX, CThruView Transparent Image Viewer, Uberlayer and Overlay.
