Layouts for 1 to 30 photos
The editor generates layouts for the exact number of photos you add, more than 150 in total:
- Rows and columns: even grids, single rows and stacks.
- Featured photo: one large image with smaller ones beside it, in the corner or in the center.
- Mosaic: cells of different sizes fitted together like a magazine spread.
- Brick and staggered: offset rows for a more relaxed look.
- Scattered polaroids: photos with white borders at slight angles, like prints on a table.
- Shaped collages: the whole collage cut to a heart, circle, hexagon, star or arch.
Drop all your photos at once and auto-fill places them. JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF and iPhone HEIC files all work.
Adjusting the collage
- Swap photos: drag one onto another cell and they change places.
- Choose the visible part: each photo fills its cell; pan and zoom inside it to keep faces in view.
- Spacing: zero for a seamless mosaic, a few pixels for a clean gallery look.
- Outer margin: a border around the collage, like a print mat.
- Rounded corners for a softer, app-like style.
- Background: any color, a gradient, a pattern such as confetti or stars, or a photo.
- Free layout mode: move, rotate and resize each photo by hand when a fixed layout is too strict.
Add titles and captions with 40+ fonts, stickers and shapes, and apply filters so every photo matches.
Sizes
| Size | Pixels or inches | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Square | 1080 × 1080 | Instagram, Facebook |
| Portrait 4:5 | 1080 × 1350 | Instagram feed |
| Story 9:16 | 1080 × 1920 | Stories, phone wallpaper |
| 1000 × 1500 | Pins | |
| Landscape 16:9 | 1920 × 1080 | Slides, desktop wallpaper |
| Photo prints | 4 × 6, 5 × 7, 8 × 12 in | Photo lab prints |
| Letter or 18 × 24 in | 8.5 × 11 in / poster | Home printing, displays |
Change the size whenever you like; the layout adapts automatically. You can also enter a custom size in pixels, millimeters or inches.
For prints, photo-lab sizes such as 4 × 6 in match the paper exactly, so nothing is trimmed. Paper sizes such as Letter and the 18 × 24 in poster include a 3 mm (about 1/8 in) bleed, and the editor shows the trim line and safe zone. Phone photos are usually sharp enough for a collage print, because each photo fills only part of the page.
Tips for a great collage
- Pick a theme: a trip, an event, a year, a product range.
- Mix close-ups and wide shots for variety.
- Put your best photo in the featured cell.
- Keep colors consistent. Apply the same filter to all photos, or adjust brightness and saturation so they match.
- Leave breathing room. Even a small gap makes a busy collage easier to look at.
- Check faces at the edges of each cell and in shaped collages, where the outline trims the outer cells.
- Fewer, better photos. Nine strong photos often look better than thirty similar ones; cut near-duplicates.
- Mind the orientation. Tall cells suit portrait photos and wide cells suit landscapes, so less gets cropped.
- Add one line of text for context, such as a place and a date, rather than a caption on every photo.
Collage ideas
- Travel recap: a landmark large, with food, people and details around it.
- Holiday cards: a 5 × 7 card with three to five photos; see the Christmas card maker.
- Valentine's or anniversary: a heart collage.
- Product showcase: a clean grid on white for an online store.
- Event highlights: a story-size collage right after a wedding, game or party.
- Graduation or retirement board: 20 to 30 photos on an 18 × 24 in poster.
Download and print
Download a JPG for photo labs and sharing, a PNG for the sharpest result or a transparent background, or a print-ready PDF. Screen sizes export at up to 3× resolution. To post the collage as an Instagram carousel or a 3-column profile grid, split it into tiles and download them as a ZIP.
There is no watermark and no sign-up, and your photos are never uploaded: the collage is built in your browser. For an even grid only, the photo grid maker is a quick start; for inspiration boards with keywords, use the mood board maker.
