Photo Collage Maker

Collages combine multiple photos into one shareable image for stories, social posts, memories, and creative layouts.

Benefits of photo collages

• Multiple layouts: Grids, featured slots, and social-oriented templates.
• Customizable design: Spacing, background, borders, and shadows.
• Easy sharing: One file ready for Instagram, Facebook, and more.
• Memory preservation: Many moments in a single frame.
• Creative expression: Experiment with arrangement and fit modes.

1. 1Upload photos: Add the images you want in JPG, PNG, or WebP. Drag and drop or click to select files.
2. 2Choose layout: Pick a template: grids, Instagram-style strips, or social presets with different cell counts.
3. 3Arrange images: Tap cells to assign photos. Drag to reorder the gallery. Use fit modes (Cover, Contain, etc.).
4. 4Customize settings: Adjust spacing, background color, corner radius, borders, and optional shadow.
5. 5Download: Preview your collage and download as PNG, JPG, or WebP.

A layout is a description of where each photo goes, and until now this tool's descriptions were not being read. Its grid definitions carried a pattern for each layout — the thing that says one frame should span two columns, or two rows — and the renderer ignored it, dividing the sheet into equal cells every time. So the four "featured" layouts, which exist precisely to give one photo more room, produced the same four equal squares as a plain 2×2 grid. Every layout here is now solved from its pattern, which means a featured frame really does take the space of two, and the gap it covers belongs to it rather than showing as a seam down the middle of one picture.

Masonry is the layout where photos keep their own proportions and stack into columns like bricks, so a tall portrait sits beside two short landscapes rather than all three being cropped to the same square. That is a different calculation from a grid: the row heights come from the pictures, not from the layout, which is why it cannot be written down as a fixed pattern. Each photo is placed into whichever column is currently shortest and keeps its aspect ratio, then the whole arrangement is scaled so the bottom edge is even. A grid crops your photos to fit its cells; masonry sizes its cells to fit your photos.

The single biggest thing that changed here is the size of the file you get. This tool used to export every collage at 1080 pixels wide, always, with no setting to change it — so nine 12-megapixel photos in a 3×3 grid came out as nine 360-pixel squares, discarding about 91% of the detail in every one. Now the output size is a real control, and by default it is derived from the photos you actually brought: a sheet three columns wide is sized so each column is about as wide as your photos are. That is the difference between a collage you can print and one you can only post.

A frame almost never has the same shape as the photo going into it, so something has to give. Fill crops the photo to cover the frame completely, which is what you want most of the time; fit shows the whole picture and lets the background show around it; stretch distorts, and is there for the rare case you want it. When fill crops the wrong part — a face at the edge of the frame, a horizon too high — zoom and the two position controls move the crop around inside the source rather than moving the frame, so the layout stays intact while the picture inside it shifts. Nothing is re-uploaded and nothing is re-decoded; it is the same photo, sampled differently.

Two gestures do most of the arranging. Dragging one photo onto another swaps their places, so getting the order right is a matter of moving pictures rather than re-uploading them in a different sequence. Dragging the divider between two frames resizes them, and because the sizes are stored as proportions rather than pixel counts, a frame you widened on screen stays exactly as wide in the exported file however large that file is. Both work with a keyboard too: the dividers are focusable and respond to the arrow keys, because a control you can only reach with a mouse is a control some people cannot reach at all.

A layout defines cells on a canvas. Each assigned image is scaled per your fit mode; spacing and styling are applied, then the result is drawn to a single image.

Starting resolution matters: cells scale images down to fit; begin with sharp sources when possible.

The photos are read, arranged and saved entirely on the machine you are using. There is no upload step and no copy on a server. Beyond the obvious privacy point, it has a practical consequence: the tool is as fast as your hardware rather than as fast as your connection, and the arranging happens away from the part of the browser that draws the page, so dragging a slider stays smooth while nine full-size photos are being composited behind it. A finished 4096-pixel sheet from nine 12-megapixel sources takes a fraction of a second.
