20 curated templates
Uneven layouts for 2 to 6 photos, a big photo with smaller ones, an L shape, columns, rows and mosaics, grouped by how many photos you have.
Pan and zoom every photo
Click a cell, drag the photo to reposition it, pinch or hold Ctrl and scroll to zoom in. The same crop-inside-a-fixed-frame feel as a phone's profile picture screen.
Drag to swap photos
Drag one photo onto a cell that already has a photo in it to trade places instantly, including how each was positioned and zoomed. No need to remove and re-add.
Four canvas shapes
Square (1200x1200), landscape (1200x900), portrait (900x1200) and a tall story format (1080x1920), so the collage fits wherever you plan to post it.
Spacing, background and rounded corners
Set the gap between photos, pick any color or your own image as the background, and round every corner with one slider.
Auto grid for any count
More than 6 photos, or an odd number the templates do not cover. Auto Grid steps in and lays everything out evenly.
Vacation and event recaps
Bring the best few photos from a trip or event into one designed image instead of posting them one at a time.
Social media posts
Square and story shapes match Instagram and other platforms directly, no separate resize step needed.
Family and friend photo grids
A mosaic or big-photo-plus-small layout gives one person or moment more visual weight than a plain grid.
Product or portfolio showcases
Combine a few angles or variations of the same subject into one clean composition.

Collage Maker for a designed look with uneven layouts and per-photo crop control.
Merge Images for simple strips, stacks, plain grids, or a free-form canvas with any number of photos.
Templates are grouped by how many photos are currently loaded, so as soon as photos are added, the layouts that actually fit that count are shown first. Adding or removing a photo does not force a layout change, the suggestions simply reorder, so it is safe to upload a few extra photos to choose from before settling on a final set.
Every template is defined as a set of proportional cells, not fixed pixel sizes, so switching between square, landscape, portrait and story canvas shapes keeps the same relative composition. A big-photo-left layout stays a big-photo-left layout whether the canvas is a square Instagram post or a tall story format.
Most photos will not match their cell's aspect ratio exactly, so the tool automatically scales each photo to cover its cell completely with no empty gaps, then centers it. Click a cell and drag to shift which part of the photo shows. To zoom in past that default fit for a tighter crop, either pinch on a touch device or hold Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) while scrolling, a plain scroll without the modifier key does nothing. The zoom slider in the toolbar below the canvas gives the same control with a precise percentage and doesn't require any modifier key.
If two photos would look better in each other's spot, there is no need to remove either one first. Drag a photo directly onto the cell holding the other photo, the target highlights in green while the drag is in progress, and releasing swaps both photos along with their individual pan and zoom settings. This only works between two cells that already hold a photo, dragging onto an empty cell does nothing, use the unplaced tray to fill an empty cell instead.
Scrolling to zoom without holding Ctrl or Cmd
An ordinary scroll or trackpad swipe over the canvas does nothing on its own. Hold Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) while scrolling, or pinch on a touch device, to zoom the selected photo. The zoom slider in the toolbar is the more predictable option if the modifier key feels awkward.
Dragging a photo onto an empty cell expecting it to move there
Drag-and-drop swapping only works between two cells that already hold a photo. To fill an empty cell, select it, then click a photo in the unplaced tray below the canvas.
Choosing JPG with a transparent background
JPG has no alpha channel. Any transparent area gets filled white on download regardless of the transparent background setting. Use PNG or WebP if the collage needs to stay transparent.
Assuming the layout locks in once photos are placed
Switching templates is safe at any point, placed photos map into the new layout by position rather than being lost. If the new template has fewer cells, extra photos just return to the unplaced tray.
Not checking for empty cells before downloading
The tool lets you download with empty cells left in the layout, they just show the background color or image. If that's not intended, check the empty-cell count shown above the download button first.
Hand designed templates are available for 2 to 6 photos, since that range covers the layouts most people actually want, a big photo with smaller ones, an L shape, a mosaic. For any other count, an auto grid template is generated automatically so you are never stuck without a layout.
Yes. Click a cell to select it, then drag directly on the photo to reposition it. To zoom, either pinch on a touch device or hold Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) while scrolling, an ordinary mouse-wheel scroll without the modifier key does nothing. The zoom slider in the toolbar next to the canvas gives the same control with a precise percentage.
Drag a photo out of its cell and onto a different cell that already has a photo in it. The target cell highlights green while you drag over it. Release to swap the two photos, along with how each one was positioned and zoomed. Dragging onto an empty cell does not move the photo there, swapping only works between two cells that both already hold a photo.
Click the empty cell to select it, then click a photo in the unplaced tray below the canvas to place it there. Dragging a photo from a filled cell onto an empty one won't move it, drag-and-drop on the canvas is only for swapping between two already-filled cells.
Yes. Picking a different template keeps your placed photos and maps them into the new layout by position. If the new template has fewer cells than photos, the extra photos return to the unplaced tray rather than being removed.
No. Every photo is drawn onto the canvas and the final collage is re-encoded on export, so EXIF metadata, including GPS location and camera details from any of the original photos, does not carry over to the downloaded file.
A quality slider appears for JPG and WebP output. PNG is always lossless, so no quality control is shown for it. If you choose JPG with a transparent background, the transparent areas are filled white on download since JPG has no alpha channel, choose PNG or WebP to keep transparency.
No. Every photo is processed with the Canvas API directly in your browser, including the pan, zoom and swap interactions. Nothing is sent to any server at any point. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool still works.
Merge Images combines any number of photos using simple layouts, a side by side strip, a stack, a plain grid, and works well for straightforward tasks like before and after comparisons. Collage Maker is built for a more designed look, with uneven pre-made layouts, per-photo pan and zoom, and the ability to swap photos between cells.
No sign-up. No uploads. Add your photos above and download the finished collage in seconds.
