How to Make a Photo Collage Online: Layouts, Text, Backgrounds and PDF
Make a photo collage in your browser with grid and mosaic layouts, sizes for Instagram and print, gaps, rounded corners, text and JPG, PNG or PDF download. Free and private.
A collage puts several photos on one page for a post, a card, a print or a document. The free Photo Collage Maker does it in your browser. Your photos are never uploaded, so it is private and quick.
Quick answer
Open the Photo Collage Maker, add your photos, pick a layout and a size, drag each photo to frame it, then download as JPG, PNG or PDF.
What you can control
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Layout | Grids from 1x2 to 4x4, and mosaics such as big photo left, hero with three small, and mixed columns. |
| Size | Square, 4:5 portrait, story 9:16, wide 16:9, A4 portrait and A4 landscape. |
| Gap and corners | Space between photos and rounded corners, for a clean or a soft look. |
| Background | One colour, or a two-colour gradient. |
| Each photo | Zoom, rotate, drag to move inside its frame, and a filter such as black and white, sepia, vivid or soft. |
| Swap | Choose two cells and swap their photos without adding them again. |
| Text | Add a title at the top, middle or bottom. |
Step by step
- Press Choose photos and select as many as the layout needs. You can add more later.
- Pick a layout. The preview updates at once.
- Choose the size that matches where it will be used, for example square for a feed post or A4 for print.
- Click a photo to select it, then zoom or drag it until the face or subject sits well in the frame.
- Set the gap, corners and background.
- Add text if you want a title or a date.
- Choose JPG, PNG or PDF and download.
Choosing a size
- Square works for most feeds and profile posts.
- 4:5 portrait takes more room on a phone screen.
- Story 9:16 is for full-screen stories and short video covers.
- A4 is for printing at home or a shop. Choose landscape for wide photos.
Tips for a better collage
- Use fewer, larger photos. Four to six usually look best.
- Keep one colour mood. Use the same filter on all photos if the lights differ.
- A small gap with a white background looks clean. A larger gap with a colour looks playful.
- Make the file smaller for email with Compress Image, or add words with the Photo Editor.
