A collage tells a story that a single image cannot. Before-and-after comparisons, product variations, event highlights, portfolio showcases — collages pack multiple images into one shareable graphic.

How the Collage Maker Works

Upload 2 to 9 images and the tool arranges them in a grid layout.

Choosing a Layout

Layouts depend on image count:

  • 2 images — Side by side or stacked
  • 3 images — Triptych or one large plus two small
  • 4 images — Classic 2x2 grid
  • 6 images — 2x3 or 3x2 grids
  • 9 images — 3x3 grid

Gap Size

Controls spacing between images. Gap of 0 creates seamless grids. 5-15px gaps work well for most collages.

Background Color

Fills gaps and padding. White is most common, but use any color to match your brand.

Use Cases

Before and After

Show editing impact, renovations, fitness progress. Before on left, after on right.

Product Variations

Display multiple colors or angles in one image for e-commerce.

Event Highlights

Combine best event photos into a shareable recap.

Instagram Carousels

Show several images per carousel slide to maximize content density.

For consistent collages, make all source images the same aspect ratio first using the Crop tool.

Tips

  • Match image dimensions for the cleanest result
  • Keep it simple — 2-4 images usually looks better than 9
  • Consider viewing context — 3x3 grids on mobile have very small individual images
