Collage Layout Tips
A strong collage starts with a clear focal photo. In a 2 by 2 grid, the top-left cell draws the eye first in left-to-right reading cultures, so place your most important image there. For three photos, the horizontal strip works well for landscapes and the vertical strip for portraits. Keep a consistent visual theme across photos: similar lighting, similar color grading, or a shared subject makes the collage feel intentional rather than random. The gap color is part of the design. White gaps feel clean and minimal, black gaps feel dramatic and gallery-like, and a brand color ties the collage to your business identity. When mixing portrait and landscape photos, cover fit crops each to its cell, so check the preview and reorder uploads if a key subject gets cropped. You can reorder by re-selecting files in your preferred order. For social media, the 1080 px square-ish output matches Instagram carousel dimensions and displays crisply on phones. If you plan to print, choose 1920 px and PNG format for the sharpest result at small print sizes.
Privacy and Quality Notes
Because rendering happens entirely in your browser with the HTML Canvas API, there is no upload step and no waiting for a server. Your original photos stay at full resolution on your device, and the collage is rendered fresh from the source images each time you change a setting, so there is no generational quality loss while you experiment. JPG export uses high quality settings to keep artifacts invisible. If you need a transparent background, choose PNG and set the background color only where gaps show; photo cells themselves are always opaque. This tool works on desktop and mobile browsers, and on phones you can pick photos directly from your camera roll.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many photos can I combine in one collage?
You can upload up to 9 photos per collage. The layouts support 2, 3, 4, 6, or 9 photo grids including side-by-side, stacked, 2 by 2, and 3 by 3 arrangements. If you upload more photos than the layout has cells, the first photos fill the grid in upload order.
Will my photos be uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens locally in your browser using the HTML Canvas API, so your photos never leave your device. There is no upload step, no server queue, and no account needed. This makes the collage maker private by design and fast even on slow connections, since only the page itself needs to load once.
What output size should I choose?
1080 px is ideal for Instagram and most social sharing. 1920 px gives you a large, detailed file suitable for printing small posters or viewing on big screens. 800 px keeps file sizes small for fast web pages and email attachments.
Can I control the spacing between photos?
Yes. The gap slider sets the spacing from 0 to 60 pixels, and you can pick any background color that shows through the gaps. A white or black gap color gives a classic framed look, while matching your brand color creates a custom feel.
Which format is better, PNG or JPG?
PNG preserves maximum quality and is best for collages with text or sharp graphics. JPG produces much smaller files and is ideal for sharing photo-only collages on social media or by email. The JPG export uses 92 percent quality, which looks visually identical to the original.
Why do my photos get cropped in the grid?
Each grid cell uses cover fit, which fills the entire cell and crops the overflowing edges, just like Instagram grids. This keeps every cell perfectly rectangular with no distortion. For full uncropped photos, use a layout whose cell shape matches your photos, or pre-crop them first.
