Overlay Image Divi Module

50 Quality Score

Active Installs

15/30

With 2,000 active installs it is a niche tool, far behind the tens of thousands of installs seen by top Divi add-on plugins, which keeps its popularity signal modest despite the inflated score.

Update Freshness

6/25

Last updated in late January 2025 and tested against WordPress 6.7.5, so it is reasonably current, but a low PHP 5.6 requirement suggests an older codebase that may not get frequent feature additions.

User Rating

15/15

A perfect 100 from 17 ratings is impressive, though the small sample size means the data is less reliable than plugins with hundreds of reviews.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads opened and zero resolved means we cannot judge responsiveness, and the lack of any forum activity is a yellow flag for a plugin you may depend on long term.

WP Compatibility

8/15

Tested up to WordPress 6.7.5 and Divi compatible, but the PHP 5.6 floor and lack of explicit Divi 5 support leave some uncertainty around newer builder versions.

What It Does

Overlay Image Divi Module adds a single new module to the Divi Builder that lets you place an image with a text overlay on top. Hovering or clicking reveals the text, making it useful for image-led layouts where you want short captions or call-to-actions over a photo. It does one job, and that job is narrow.

Who It's For

This plugin suits Divi users who want a quick, no-frills way to add hover-reveal text overlays to portfolio images, product cards, team photos, or event tiles. It is best for small sites or single-purpose landing pages where you do not want to install a large suite of modules just to get one effect.

Who Should Skip It

If you need more than a basic overlay, such as carousels, complex animations, popup triggers, or conditional display logic, this plugin will feel underbuilt. Non-Divi users should skip it entirely since it only works inside the Divi Builder.

The Bottom Line

Overlay Image Divi Module does exactly one thing, and the few users who have rated it appear happy with that one thing. The quality score of 53.73 sits below the alternatives listed, mostly due to low popularity and an unproven support record. It is a reasonable choice if you want the simplest possible Divi image overlay, but anyone needing broader Divi tooling will get more value from Supreme Modules Lite or Divi Torque Lite.

Pick this if you want a broad library of Divi modules beyond just overlay images, since it bundles 50+ modules in one free plugin.

Popups for Divi 84/100

Pick this if your overlay texts are really meant to function as popups or modal triggers, as it is purpose-built for that interaction pattern.

Divi Torque Lite 83/100

Pick this if you want a Divi-native module pack with strong ongoing maintenance and broader feature coverage for under 50,000-install projects.

Divi Carousel Free (Divi5 Support) 82/100

Pick this if you want carousel layouts with overlay captions and explicit Divi 5 compatibility, which this plugin lacks.

Simple Divi Shortcode 80/100

Pick this if you need a lightweight way to embed Divi content via shortcode rather than a new overlay module.
