Combine Several Photos Into One Grid Collage
Arrange two or more images into an even grid with your choice of columns, spacing and background.
About the Image Collage Maker
Add at least two pictures and they are laid out in a grid you configure. Columns can run from one to eight, and the number of rows follows automatically from how many images you added. Each cell is square, and the spacing value controls both the gaps between cells and the border around the outside, so a single number produces an evenly framed result.
Images are placed in the order they appear in your list, and the arrow buttons let you rearrange them before creating the collage. Every picture is scaled to fill its square cell and cropped from the centre, which keeps the grid perfectly regular regardless of whether the originals were portrait, landscape or a mixture. The background colour shows through the gaps and behind any empty cells left in the final row. All the compositing happens on your own device.
Key Features
- One to eight columns: Set the column count and the rows are worked out from the number of images you added.
- Square cells throughout: Every picture fills an identical square, so mixed portrait and landscape sources still produce a tidy grid.
- Spacing doubles as a border: The gap value applies between cells and around the outer edge, so one setting frames the whole collage.
- Reorderable: Arrows on each row change the position of an image before the grid is built.
- Background colour: The colour you pick fills the gaps and any unused cells in the last row.
How to Use the Image Collage Maker
- Add two or more images — the tool will not build a collage from one.
- Use the arrows to set the order in which they should appear.
- Choose the column count, cell size in pixels, spacing and background colour.
- Create the collage and download the JPG.
How It Works
The output canvas is sized from your settings: the width is the column count multiplied by the cell size, plus one gap for every column and one more for the outer edge, with the height calculated the same way from the row count. Each image is drawn with a centre-crop, scaling by whichever axis needs the larger factor so the square is completely filled, and taking the middle portion of the source. The collage is exported as a JPG at high quality. The consequence to plan for is that cropping is automatic and centred, so a subject sitting near the edge of a wide photograph can be cut out of its cell — crop those images to roughly square yourself first if the framing matters.
When You Need It
A physiotherapist documenting a patient's recovery photographs the same movement at intake, six weeks and discharge, and wants the three side by side on one sheet for the clinical record and the referral letter back to the consultant. Those images show an identifiable person's body and form part of a health record, so assembling them through a free collage website would place clinical data outside the practice's control. Tradespeople compiling before-and-after job evidence and researchers arranging specimen photographs build comparison grids for the same documentary reason.
