Photos stay on your device — they are decoded in the browser and drawn onto a canvas. Nothing is uploaded.
This browser does not support canvas filters, so photo adjustments and the blurred background are unavailable here. Everything else works normally.
Collage
Click an empty cell to add a photo. Drag a filled cell to reposition it, scroll to zoom, and drag the grip handle onto another cell to swap the two. Cells are focusable — arrow keys nudge, +/− zoom, Delete clears.

What the Image Collage Maker does
Putting several photos into one frame is a routine job for a social post, a property listing, an event recap or a product sheet, yet most collage apps either brand the finished piece or hide watermark removal behind a subscription. This one composites everything onto a canvas inside your browser and hands back a clean PNG, JPG or WebP. No account, no upload, no branding baked into the pixels.
The layout catalogue holds thirty tilings in four families — Basic runs from a single frame up to a row or column of four; Grid covers 2x2 through 4x4; Feature pairs one large cell with a cluster of smaller ones; Mosaic offers uneven arrangements for five to nine photos. If none of them fit, the custom builder generates any grid from 1x1 up to 6x6. Photos live in a tray above the canvas rather than inside the cells, which means switching from a nine-cell grid to a two-cell one hands the spare photos back instead of throwing them away.
Framing is per photo, not global. Select a cell and drag to reposition the picture inside it, scroll or use the slider to zoom between 0.2x and 6x, rotate through a full circle, mirror it horizontally or vertically, and decide whether it fills the cell or sits inside it with a coloured surround. Cover framing is solved against the tilted bounding box, so a straightened photo still reaches every corner. Eight one-click looks — Mono, Noir, Sepia, Vivid, Cool, Warm and Fade among them — sit beside manual brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, grayscale, sepia and blur sliders, and any combination can be pushed to every cell at once.
Using the Image Collage Maker, step by step
- Add your pictures — the picker takes several at a time, and a batch dropped anywhere on the tray works too.
- Pick a tiling from the thumbnail catalogue, or type column and row counts into the custom grid builder.
- Press Auto-fill to drop the tray into the empty cells in order, or drag individual photos onto the cells you want them in.
- Click a cell and drag to reframe the photo inside it; scroll to zoom, then rotate or mirror it from the cell panel.
- Set the page size — Instagram, Story, Pinterest and YouTube dimensions sit alongside 4x6, 5x7, A4 and US Letter measured at 300 DPI.
- Under Style, separate the cells with a gap, pull the artwork in from the edges with a margin, round the corners, and choose a solid, gradient, blurred-photo or transparent backdrop.
- Open Export, choose PNG, JPG or WebP, raise the multiplier to 2x or 3x if you are printing, and download the finished piece.
What makes this one worth using
- Nothing is stamped onto the export. The canvas is encoded straight to a file with no overlay, no corner logo and no paywall for removing one.
- Gap and outer margin are independent controls, so the space around the artwork can be heavier, lighter or identical to the seams between photos rather than locked to half of them.
- Each photo carries its own zoom, position, angle, mirroring and colour treatment, which is what lets a portrait and a landscape shot sit side by side without either looking cropped by accident.
- Print sizes are stated at 300 DPI, so a 4x6 export is genuinely 1200x1800 pixels rather than a screen-sized image scaled up at the lab.
- Undo and redo cover every change, and slider drags collapse into one step so reversing a mistake does not mean clicking back through sixty tiny adjustments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will mixing portrait and landscape photos look uneven?
Not necessarily. Every cell scales its photo independently, and the default fill mode always reaches the cell edges regardless of the source shape. Where the automatic crop cuts something important, drag inside the cell to slide the subject back into view, or switch that one cell to fit-inside mode — the picture is then shown whole, with the cell background colour filling the leftover space.
How large can the finished collage be?
The page size sets the base, from 100 up to 8000 pixels on either axis, and the export multiplier can triple it. An A4 page at 300 DPI is 2480x3508 to begin with, and 2x turns that into 4960x7016. The long edge is held at 12000 pixels because browser canvas encoders become unreliable past that; when a chosen multiplier would exceed it the tool reduces the multiplier and reports the size it actually produced.
Can I get a transparent background behind the photos?
Yes, by choosing the Transparent background mode and exporting as PNG or WebP. Empty cells are left unpainted in that mode so the transparency runs right through. JPG has no alpha channel at all, so selecting it fills the backdrop with white instead — the tool says so rather than quietly producing a black rectangle.
Do the filters and the blurred backdrop work everywhere?
They rely on canvas filter support, which current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari all have. On an older browser without it, a notice appears at the top and the adjustment controls are disabled; layouts, framing, borders, captions and export continue to work as normal. The blurred backdrop falls back to a coarser downscale-based blur rather than disappearing.
Is the tool usable without a mouse?
Each cell is reachable by keyboard. Tab to one, press Enter to attach a photo, then use the arrow keys to nudge the framing — hold Shift for a bigger step — plus and minus to zoom, and Delete to empty the cell. Reordering, which is done by dragging one cell onto another with a pointer, also has Prev and Next swap buttons in the cell panel.
Are my photos sent anywhere?
No. Each file is decoded by the browser into an in-memory image and drawn onto a canvas element; the encoded result is handed to the download as a local blob. There is no upload step, no server-side rendering and no third-party image service involved, so private material stays on the machine you opened the page on.
