What the collage maker can do

The tool combines 2 to 9 photos into a single image. Each photo count gets its own layouts: classic 2×2 and 3×3 grids, strips, mosaics with one large photo and golden-ratio splits.

Everything happens in your browser: photos are never uploaded to a server, so the collage renders instantly and stays with you. Download the result as JPG or PNG up to 3072 pixels on the long side — enough for social media and print.

Every photo can be framed individually: drag it inside its cell to pick the crop and resize it with the slider. Shrink a photo and a colored frame of background appears around it.

The settings are simple: spacing between photos, corner rounding, background color and canvas aspect ratio — square for feeds, 4:5 for posts, 9:16 for stories.

Why make a collage

A collage solves a simple problem: showing several shots where there is room for only one image. An album cover, an article header, a product card, a video thumbnail — one picture everywhere, yet there is more to tell.

On social media a collage saves attention: the feed shows only the first photo, and not everyone swipes through a gallery. One image with 4–6 shots conveys the whole event — no swiping.

A collage also ties shots together by meaning. Before-and-after only convinces when the shots sit side by side. Work stages read clearly in one grid. Comparing options is easier when you see them at once.

How to make a photo collage

  1. Upload 2 to 9 photos — drag them into the form or pick them from your device.
  2. Choose a layout. The list adapts to the number of photos.
  3. Swap photos if needed: click one, then another. Drag a photo inside its cell to adjust the framing — the size slider sits under the preview.
  4. Adjust spacing, corner rounding, background color and aspect ratio.
  5. Pick a format and size, click "Download" — the collage saves to your device.

How to resize photos and change their order

Resize a photo inside its cell. Every photo has a small square in its corner — drag it to enlarge or shrink the photo: from 50 to 300 %. The "Photo size" slider under the preview does the same. An enlarged photo gets a tighter crop; a shrunken one gets a frame of the background color.

Pick the crop. Drag a photo inside its cell to shift the visible part of the frame — put a face or a product in the center. The "Reset crop" button restores the original position and size.

Swap photos. Click one photo, then another — they trade places. That makes it easy to put the hero shot into the large mosaic cell; upload order does not matter.

Change the size of the final collage. The canvas aspect ratio is set with the "Aspect ratio" switch: square, 4:5 post, landscape, 16:9 wide or 9:16 story. The file size in pixels is chosen before downloading — up to 3072 pixels on the long side.

Choosing a layout and settings

Photos. Shots in one tonality come together into a coherent picture: either all warm or all cool. A dark photo next to an overexposed one looks like a mistake — pick shots of similar brightness. Put the hero shot into the large cell.

Layout. Equal cells work for series of similar shots: work stages, products, before and after. A mosaic with one large photo works when there is a hero shot and the rest support it.

Aspect ratio. A 1:1 square is universal, 4:5 takes up the most space in social feeds, 9:16 is the story format, 16:9 suits covers and presentations.

Spacing and background. White borders of 2–3 % almost always look neat. Zero spacing turns the collage into a single canvas. A dark background suits vivid photos.

Format. JPG is lighter and fine for social media. PNG keeps sharp edges without artifacts — pick it for screenshots and graphics.

Collage sizes for social media

Feed post. A 1:1 square is universal, while 4:5 takes up the most screen space in the feed, so the collage stands out more. 2048 pixels is enough: social networks compress images on upload anyway.

Stories. The vertical 9:16 fills the phone screen entirely. Works for short videos and highlight covers too.

Covers and thumbnails. The horizontal 16:9 is the format of article covers, presentations and video thumbnails.

Messengers. Any format works for a Telegram channel, but 16:9 and square look neatest in the channel feed.

Collages for business and listings

A classified ad. An apartment, a car, a summer house — six angles in one picture. Make the collage the first photo of the gallery: the buyer sees everything at once instead of swiping through ten shots.

A product card. The overall view goes into the large mosaic cell, details and texture into the small ones. One image answers the key questions about the product.

A portfolio. Nails, cakes, renovation, haircuts — a before-and-after grid convinces better than reviews. Collect fresh work into one collage every month.

Blog and video. An article cover made of several on-topic shots, a video thumbnail with key moments — the horizontal 16:9 is made for this.

Collage ideas

Before and after. Renovation, cleaning, retouching, a haircut — two shots side by side convince better than any text.

A trip. 6–9 shots of a journey in one picture: views, food, people, details. Take a mosaic and put the strongest shot into the large cell.

A product for a listing. The overall view goes into the large cell, details and texture into the small ones. Such a collage replaces a gallery in a classified ad or marketplace card.

A recipe or tutorial. Step-by-step stages in a 3×3 grid: from ingredients to the result.

A year or month in review. Nine best shots in a 3×3 square — a feed classic.

A birthday card. Photos of the birthday person across the years in one card.

A mood board. Interior, outfit or design references on one canvas — to show a client or take along to the store.

A story cover. The vertical 9:16 format with 2–3 shots — an announcement of an event or a collection.

A wedding. The main shot of the couple goes into the large cell, the details of the day around it: rings, bouquet, guests, the dance.

Baby's first year. Nine months in a 3×3 grid — you can see the baby grow from shot to shot.

A day in the life. Morning coffee, the commute, work, evening — 6–9 shots of an ordinary day add up to a story.

A holiday card. New Year, an anniversary, a family celebration: a few shared shots from the last gathering instead of a store-bought card.

A wall poster. Build a collage, download a 3072-pixel PNG and print it — the quality is enough for 26×26 cm.

Questions and answers

How many photos can I combine?
From 2 to 9. Each count has its own layouts: for four photos, for example, a 2×2 grid, a strip and a version with one large photo.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. The collage is built right in your browser: photos never leave your device, and the result saves straight to your computer or phone.
What resolution will the collage have?
Up to 3072 pixels on the long side — enough for roughly 10-inch prints at 300 dpi and any social network. Choose JPG or PNG.
Can I swap photos around?
Yes. Click a photo in the preview, then another one — they will swap places. Upload order does not matter.
Is it free?
Yes, the tool is completely free, works without sign-up and adds no watermarks.
Does the tool work on a phone?
Yes. The collage is built in the mobile browser: photos load from the gallery, the crop moves with a finger, and the finished image saves to downloads.
What collage size do I need for social media?
For the feed — a 1:1 square or 4:5, for stories — 9:16. 2048 pixels is enough: social networks compress images on upload anyway.
How do I make a collage for printing?
Pick PNG and the 3072-pixel size. That is enough to print 26×26 cm at 300 dpi; the quality is also sufficient for an A4 sheet.
Why does a photo get cropped and how do I fix it?
A photo fills its cell entirely, so the edges may be cut off. Drag the photo inside the cell to choose the visible part, or shrink it with the "Photo size" slider — the photo will fit entirely, with a frame of the background color around it.
