Make a photo collage

Choose photos that belong together

A collage works best when the images contribute to one idea: a few moments from a trip, details from a project, or several views of the same subject. Four travel photos might include one wide view of the location, a photo of the people there, and two details. If two pictures repeat the same view, leaving one out can make the result easier to read.

This tool arranges separate photos in a fixed canvas layout. If you want screenshots joined into one long image in reading order, use the image merger instead. For a document with one image per page, use an image-to-PDF workflow.

Decide which photo should lead

Automatic grid and the two-, three-, or four-column layouts give each photo a similar role. The large-image layouts put the first photo in the larger area, so place the strongest overview image first. Those layouts support up to 6 photos; the grid layouts can hold up to 16.

Add the photos, then drag their thumbnails or use Move up and Move down. On a phone, the buttons are easier to use than dragging. Check the order before export, because the first image determines the large area in either large-image layout.

Compare cropping with showing the whole photo

Crop to fill centers each photo and removes the parts outside its cell. This keeps the grid filled, but it can cut off a face, sign, or object near an edge. Show full photo keeps each image intact and fills the leftover area with the background color. Use the preview to check the parts that matter.

If a specific crop needs to stay in view, make that crop before building the collage with the image cropper. The collage tool does not detect a subject or let you move the crop window inside each cell.

Set a canvas for where you will share it

Choose a canvas ratio before export: square, 4:5, 3:4, 9:16, or 16:9. Then choose an output width of 640, 1,080, 1,600, or 2,048 pixels. The height follows the ratio. A square canvas at 1,080 pixels wide is 1,080 × 1,080 pixels; a 9:16 canvas at that width is 1,080 × 1,920 pixels.

These are output dimensions, not a promise about file size or detail. A larger canvas cannot add detail to a small source photo. The maximum output area is 8 megapixels, so some wide or tall combinations may be limited by the canvas size.

Adjust spacing, background, and file format

Spacing separates the cells, and outer padding adds a border around the group. Corner radius rounds the photo cells. These controls change the layout; they do not alter the source files. Transparent pixels, padding, and empty cells are all filled with the selected background color.

Choose PNG when you want crisp edges or JPG when the output is a photo collage and a smaller file is useful. The output always has a background, including PNG. JPG is encoded at a fixed quality setting, so the actual file size depends on the images and dimensions. Preview the result and check the downloaded file before sending or posting it.

Check the limits before adding a batch

The tool accepts 2–16 still JPG, PNG, or WebP images. Each file can be up to 10 MiB and 12 megapixels, with no side longer than 12,000 pixels. The combined batch limit is 40 MiB and 24 megapixels. GIF, animated images, SVG, and HEIC are not supported.

The images are read, previewed, and exported in your browser. They are not uploaded for processing and are not kept after you leave or refresh the page. Download the result before closing the page.
