How the heart collage works

The heart collage starts from a regular photo layout and cuts the whole collage to a heart outline. You choose any of the layouts made for your number of photos, from a simple grid to a mosaic, and the heart shape is laid over it. The outline stays smooth whether you use 4 photos or 30, and the heart keeps its proportions on any canvas size.

Because the outline trims the edges, photos in the outer cells are partly cut away, especially at the top corners and the bottom point. Cells near the middle show the most. The same feature also makes circle, hexagon, star and arch collages, so you can try another shape without starting over.

Auto-fill places your photos in order; drag one onto another to swap them, and pan or zoom inside a cell to keep faces in view. To put a single photo in a heart, use a heart frame on that photo instead.

Choosing and arranging photos

  • Mix close-ups and wider shots. Faces read well even in small cells; wide landscapes do not.
  • Put the most important photos near the middle, where the heart outline cuts the least. Use the outer cells for scenery, textures or details.
  • Unify the colors with one filter for every photo: black and white for a classic look, warm or vintage for a soft, romantic one.
  • Spacing: a thin gap between cells keeps the heart crisp; zero spacing makes a dense mosaic.
  • Background: white or cream for a clean print, blush pink or deep red for a bolder look. A heart or stars pattern also works behind a small collage.

HEIC photos from an iPhone, along with JPG, PNG and WebP, can be added directly.

Ideas for a heart photo collage

  • Valentine's Day: your favorite photos as a couple, with a short message.
  • Anniversary: one photo for each year together, with the dates.
  • Wedding or shower display: a large heart of photos of the couple at the welcome table.
  • Mother's Day or Father's Day: photos of the kids through the years.
  • Best friends' birthday: shared trips and inside jokes.
  • Pets: a heart made entirely of one very photogenic dog or cat.
  • Remembrance: a gentle tribute board for a celebration of life.

Adding text and decorations

Give the collage a title such as Happy Anniversary or Love you, Mom. A script font looks personal, and curved text can follow the top of the heart. Add the names and a date, for example Emma and Josh, 02/14/2026.

Recolorable heart and flower stickers add a finishing touch, but keep them outside the heart so they do not cover faces. Text outline, shadow or a highlight background help a title stay readable over a photo.

Turning it into a gift

A printed heart collage makes a personal gift, especially for an anniversary or Valentine's Day.

  • Framed print: choose the 8 × 12 in photo print size, or 5 × 7 in for a desk frame, and download a JPG for a photo lab. Photo print sizes match the paper exactly, so there is no bleed to trim.
  • Poster: for 18 × 24 in, the editor renders at a lower resolution that still looks sharp from normal viewing distance. Use your best original photos rather than screenshots or images saved from social media.
  • Card: switch to the 5 × 7 in card size and add a message under the heart.
  • Canvas or photo gifts: most services accept a high-resolution JPG.

Leave a little extra margin around the heart if the print will go behind a mat, since mats cover a narrow strip on every side. Check names and dates one more time before you order.

Can I add text to the heart collage?

Yes. Add a title, names and dates with any font, including curved text above the heart.

Can I print a heart collage?

Yes. Choose a photo print or poster size and download a JPG or print-ready PDF.

Can I get the heart without a background?

Yes. Export a PNG with a transparent background.
