Combine 2 to 9 photos into a single collage entirely in your browser — pick a layout template (2×1, 1×2, 2×2, 3×1, 2+1, 1+2, or 3×3), adjust spacing and background color, and download the result as a PNG or JPG. No upload, powered by the Canvas API.

This tool ships with seven fixed grid templates covering the most common collage shapes: 2×1 and 1×2 for pairing two photos side by side or stacked, 3×1 for a clean horizontal row of three, 2×2 for a classic four-photo grid, 3×3 for a nine-photo mosaic, and two asymmetric three-photo layouts — 2+1 (two photos on top, one wide photo on the bottom) and 1+2 (one wide photo on top, two below) — for when you want one photo to stand out from the rest. Because the tool suggests a layout automatically based on how many photos you've uploaded, you can start dragging in images without deciding on a template first.
Each layout template is defined as a set of rectangles positioned as fractions of the total canvas — for example, a 2×2 grid cell might occupy the rectangle from 50% to 100% of the canvas width and 0% to 50% of its height. When you pick a layout, the tool converts those fractional rectangles into actual pixel coordinates on a 1200×1200 canvas, shrinks each one inward by half your chosen spacing value to create a uniform gap, then draws each photo into its rectangle using a clipping path so the photo never spills outside its cell boundary, scaled and centered to fill the cell completely.
This tool always uses a 'cover' fit rather than a 'contain' fit when placing photos into cells, meaning every cell is completely filled with no visible background showing through around a photo's edges — the tradeoff being that photos whose aspect ratio doesn't match their cell get cropped rather than padded. This mirrors how essentially every photo collage app and social media grid works, since a collage with visible empty padding around mismatched photos looks unfinished, while a fully-filled grid with sensible center-cropping looks intentional and polished even when your source photos have very different original dimensions.
Spacing and background color work as a pair — a wider gap only becomes visually meaningful when paired with a background color that contrasts with your photos, such as white or black, which is why most collage apps default to one of those two options. A gap of zero with any background color produces an edge-to-edge grid where photos touch directly; a moderate 8-15px gap with a white background gives a clean, magazine-style separation between photos; a wider 20-40px gap reads more like a scrapbook or printed photo album layout, especially when combined with a soft off-white or pastel background color.
Your photos are read directly from your device's file system into your browser's memory, drawn onto an in-memory canvas, and exported back out as a downloadable image file — no network request carrying your image data is ever made. This means there's no practical limit imposed by an upload restriction or slow connection, no privacy concern about photos passing through a third-party server, and the tool continues to work even if you lose your internet connection partway through building a collage, as long as the page was already loaded.
Collage Maker pairs naturally with these image tools for finishing and preparing photos.
