Picks how photos are arranged: a uniform grid, a side-by-side row, a stacked column, mixed-size collage templates, or freely draggable photos on an open canvas.

Aspect ratio

Presets

Auto1:14:53:216:99:16A4Letter

Locks the whole canvas to a fixed shape for social posts or print pages; Auto derives the height naturally. Shown for Grid, Collage, and Freeform layouts.

Columns

Slider

Range: 1–5 · Default: 2

Sets how many photos sit in each row of the Grid layout; more columns produce smaller tiles.

Spacing

Slider

Range: 0–60px · Default: 12px

Controls the gap between photos; set 0 to join them edge to edge or raise it for breathing room between tiles.

Outer border

Slider

Range: 0–80px · Default: 12px

Adds a margin around the entire collage so the background shows as a frame along the outer edges.

Corner radius

Slider

Range: 0–60px · Default: 8px

Rounds the corners of every photo tile, from sharp squares at 0 to softly pill-shaped cells.

Image aspect ratio

Presets

Crop to fitKeep aspect ratio

Crop to fit fills each cell and trims overflow for a tidy grid; Keep aspect ratio shows each whole photo with background visible around it. Join layouts always preserve aspect.

Style

Background color

Color picker

Sets the canvas color behind and between photos, with quick swatches, a transparent option kept in PNG exports, and a custom color or gradient picker.

Background gradient

Frequently Asked Questions

Upload your photos, pick a grid, freeform or shape layout, drag images between cells, adjust spacing and background colour, then download a high-resolution PNG or JPEG. Editing and the live preview happen instantly in your browser; when you click download, your photos are sent over HTTPS to our secure server to composite the final full-resolution image, which is deleted automatically afterward — no install and no watermark on the export.

usage

Choose from 2-photo, 3-photo and 4-photo grids, mosaic, scrapbook, polaroid, magazine cover, Pinterest pin and Instagram story layouts. Each layout supports custom spacing, rounded corners and gradient backgrounds for a polished finish.

features

Yes. Presets export at the exact dimensions Instagram (1080 × 1080), Stories (1080 × 1920), Pinterest (1000 × 1500) and Facebook Cover (820 × 312) expect, so nothing gets cropped or upscaled by the platform.

social

Up to 30 photos in a single collage. The editor stays responsive even on phones, and the final image renders at 300 DPI so it stays sharp when printed as a wall canvas or photo book page.

technical

You edit and preview your collage instantly in the browser. When you click download, your photos are sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection so the final full-resolution collage can be composited on our servers, then automatically deleted afterwards — we do not retain them.

privacy

Yes. Transparent PNGs are placed correctly inside their cells, rounded corners snap to 8, 16 and 24 pixel presets, and the background can be transparent, solid colour or a gradient to match your brand or aesthetic.

features

Pick a grid or freeform layout, drop up to 30 family photos, then set the spacing and a white or coloured border. Export at 300 DPI as PNG or JPEG so the photo collage stays sharp when you print it for a frame, album page, or wall canvas.

tips

Yes. Choose the grid layout, set how many columns you want, and drop your pictures — the photo grid maker arranges them into even tiles with adjustable spacing and rounded corners. The grid preview updates instantly in your browser; downloading composites the final image on our secure server and deletes it automatically afterward — free, with no signup and no watermark.

usage

Crop to fit (cover) scales each photo to completely fill its cell and crops any overflow, which keeps every tile a clean uniform shape with no gaps. Keep aspect ratio (contain) shrinks each photo to fit entirely inside its cell so nothing is cropped, leaving the background color or gradient visible around photos with a different shape than the cell. Use cover for a tidy grid look and contain when you don't want any part of a photo cut off.

features

In Grid or Collage layout with Crop to fit (cover) enabled, click a photo to select it, then drag inside the cell to pan the focal point and use the zoom control to move in closer — handy when a cover crop cuts off a face or logo you want centered. Freeform layout instead lets you drag the whole photo anywhere on the canvas and resize it freely, independent of any grid cell.

usage

Yes. Add a text layer and set its font (sans, serif or mono), bold weight, size, color and rotation, or drop a sticker shape (heart, star, circle, square or triangle) and recolor it — drag either one anywhere on the canvas. Overlays sit above every photo and are baked into the final PNG, JPEG or PDF export.

features

Yes. Pick PDF, PNG or JPEG as the output format, then choose an aspect ratio preset — Auto, 1:1, 4:5, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16, A4 or Letter — so the canvas is shaped exactly for print or for the platform you're posting to, instead of guessing. The output width control also sets the exact pixel size the collage renders at.

technical

For printing, choose the A4 or Letter aspect preset, set output width to at least 2400px, use Crop to fit for a tidy grid, and add a small corner radius with white padding for a gallery look. For social media, pick the 1:1 or 9:16 aspect preset to match the platform, use a gradient or solid background color, keep the gap and padding tighter, and export as JPEG for a smaller file. Undo/redo lets you experiment with these combinations freely before committing to a download.

tips

Yes. Use Save to download a project file that embeds your photos, background, overlays and every style setting (layout, spacing, colors, aspect ratio, format), then use Open to reload that file later and pick up exactly where you left off — useful for multi-session projects like a class yearbook or event album.

features

Aspect ratio locks the whole canvas to a fixed shape before the layout is calculated — 1:1 for an Instagram square, 4:5 for a portrait feed post, 9:16 for a Story or Reel cover, and A4 or Letter for a page you plan to print. Leave it on Auto and the canvas height is instead derived naturally from your layout and photos.

features

Freeform drops every photo onto the canvas as its own draggable, resizable tile instead of forcing them into grid cells. Tap a photo to select it, drag it anywhere, use the Size slider (10-100%) to scale it, or tap Front to bring it above overlapping photos — it's the layout to reach for scrapbook-style or overlapping designs rather than clean rows and columns.

features

Yes — the Text tab lets you drop in a text box (sans/serif/mono font, bold, color, size and rotation) or one of five sticker shapes (heart, star, circle, square, triangle) with their own color, size and rotation. Drag any layer to reposition it on the canvas, and the Layers list lets you re-select or delete individual text/sticker elements.

features

Yes — under Style, upload a background image and it fills the entire canvas edge-to-edge behind your photo cells, useful for a branded backdrop or a full-bleed scene behind a freeform arrangement. Uploading a background image automatically clears any gradient you had selected, and you can Replace or Remove it at any time.

features

Yes — the Output panel's Format selector includes PDF alongside JPG and PNG. Combine it with the A4 or Letter aspect ratio preset and a high output width (2400px or more) for a roughly 300 DPI, single-page, print-ready PDF.

technical

When a layout crops photos to fill their cell (Crop to fit / cover mode), tap that photo's cell to select it, then drag directly on the canvas to change which part of the photo shows, and use the Zoom slider (1x-4x) that appears at the bottom to zoom into a face or detail. Hit Reset to snap the photo back to its centered, unzoomed framing.

tips

Crop to fit (cover) scales each photo to completely fill its cell and crops any overflow, keeping every cell a clean uniform shape but sometimes trimming a photo's edges. Keep aspect ratio (contain) shrinks each photo to fit entirely inside its cell with no cropping, which can leave a strip of the background color or gradient showing if the photo's proportions don't match the cell.

features

Yes — Save project (in the Your Images panel) downloads a single JSON file containing every photo, your layout, styling, framing and text/sticker layers. Use Open project later to reload that exact state and keep editing, handy for a big multi-photo collage you don't want to rebuild from scratch.

usage

When a layout is set to Crop to fit (cover mode), drag any photo on the canvas and drop it directly onto a different photo's cell — a dashed outline marks the target cell, and releasing there swaps the two photos' positions instantly, each keeping its own zoom and framing. It's the fastest way to try a different photo order without removing anything from Your Images.

usage

Yes — every change (moving a photo, dragging a slider, adding text or a sticker) is captured in an undo history a moment after you stop, so the Undo button (or Ctrl/Cmd+Z) steps back through your edits and Redo (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Z, or Ctrl/Cmd+Y) replays them. Rapid slider drags are grouped into a single step, so one Undo takes you back to before the whole drag rather than one increment at a time.

usage

Yes — for JPG and PNG exports (not PDF), a Continue in Editor button appears next to Download once your collage is ready. It renders the collage and opens it directly in the full Photo Editor, so you can add filters, more text or other adjustments the collage tool doesn't offer, without downloading and re-uploading the file.

features

They're quick-size shortcuts for the Output width slider, which itself runs continuously from 400 to 4096 pixels: Social jumps to 1080px for feed posts, HD to 2048px, and 4K to 4096px for the sharpest print or large-display output. The collage's export height then scales automatically from that width based on your layout and aspect ratio, with the exact final pixel dimensions shown live above the slider.

technical

Yes. Switch the image aspect ratio setting from Crop to fit to Keep aspect ratio and every photo keeps its full frame inside its tile. The Join Row and Join Column layouts always preserve each image's aspect ratio — they line photos up side by side at equal height or stack them at equal width, which works well for before/after pairs and photo strips.

features

Yes — pick any background color, choose a preset gradient such as Sunset, Ocean, Mint or Slate, or browse the built-in background designs. The background shows through the spacing between tiles and the outer border, so widening those gives it more presence. Export as PNG to keep the background color at lossless quality.
