How to use it
- Drop your photos onto the editor.
- Pick a grid layout that fits the number of photos.
- Drag photos to swap them and adjust spacing and margins.
- Download a JPG, PNG or print-ready PDF.
A grid for any number of photos
Add anywhere from 1 to 30 photos and the editor offers layouts made for that exact count: even rows and columns, a featured photo with smaller ones around it, brick and staggered rows, mosaic layouts and more. There are more than 150 layouts in total, so you can try several in a few clicks.
Drop all your photos at once and auto-fill places them in order. Drag a photo onto another cell to swap them, and pan or zoom inside a cell to choose what shows; each photo fills its cell, so this is how you keep faces and details in view. JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF and iPhone HEIC files all work.
Common grid layouts
| Photos | Grid | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 1 × 2 or 2 × 1 | Side by side, comparisons |
| 4 | 2 × 2 | Quick recap, product angles |
| 6 | 2 × 3 or 3 × 2 | Recipe steps, room tours |
| 9 | 3 × 3 | Classic square grid |
| 12 | 3 × 4 or 4 × 3 | Baby's first year, month by month |
| 16 | 4 × 4 | Event highlights |
| 25 to 30 | 5 × 5 or 5 × 6 | Team photos, yearbook pages |
The canvas size changes the shape of each cell. A square post gives square cells for a 3 × 3 grid; a 4 × 6 in print gives slightly wider ones. Switch sizes at any time and the grid adapts automatically.
Spacing, borders and style
- Spacing (gutter): zero for a seamless mosaic, a small gap for a clean gallery look.
- Outer margin: a wider border around the whole grid works like a mat on a framed print.
- Rounded corners give each photo a softer, app-like look.
- Background: white, black, any color, a gradient or a pattern shows through the gaps.
- Filters: apply the same filter (black and white, warm, vintage) to every photo so the grid looks like a set.
- Text: add a title, dates or captions with any of the 40+ fonts.
For full control, switch to the free layout mode and move, rotate and resize each photo by hand.
Getting your photos ready
- Mixed orientations are fine. Portrait and landscape photos are cropped to fit their cells. After placing them, pan or zoom any photo where a head or an important detail got cut off.
- Resolution: a phone photo is more than enough for a cell in a social post. For print, remember that a 4 × 6 in photo at 300 dpi is 1800 × 1200 pixels in total, and each cell is only part of that, so most phone photos still print sharp.
- Similar light and color make a grid look intentional. If photos were taken at different times of day, give them all the same filter.
- Order tells a story. Put photos in chronological order for a timeline, or start with the strongest image in the top-left cell, where people look first.
- HEIC is supported, so iPhone photos can go straight in.
A grid keeps every photo the same size and in straight rows. If you want a featured photo, scattered polaroids or a heart shape, try the layouts in the collage maker or the heart collage maker.
