What Is an Image Collage Maker?

A collage maker combines multiple photos into a single image using a structured layout. Instead of sharing 10 separate photos, you create one polished image that shows all of them together. Collages are widely used for social media posts, photo albums, product showcases, before/after comparisons, and creative presentations.

Collage Layouts Available

Side by side (2 images): perfect for before/after. 2×2 grid (4 images): classic Instagram grid look. 3×1 horizontal strip: wide panoramic comparison. 2×3 or 3×2 grid: 6-photo event or product grid. Freeform: place images anywhere, any size. Masonry: Pinterest-style varied-height layout. 20+ preset layouts to choose from.

How to Create a Photo Collage — Step by Step

Select a layout template, upload your photos (drag into each slot), adjust spacing and border between images, add optional background color or pattern, add text captions if desired, and download as JPG or PNG at your chosen resolution.

Before & After Image Merger

The most popular use: upload a before image and an after image, choose side-by-side layout, add a divider line in the middle, and optionally add 'Before' and 'After' labels. Perfect for fitness transformations, home renovations, design changes, and photo editing showcases.

Collage Settings You Can Customize

Image spacing (gap between photos: 0 to 40px), border/frame style (none, thin line, shadow, polaroid), background color or gradient, canvas aspect ratio (square 1:1, landscape 16:9, portrait 4:5), output resolution (up to 4000px wide), and text overlays.

Photo Collage for Social Media

Instagram carousel alternative: create one 1:1 collage instead of multiple posts. Facebook photo album cover. Pinterest board preview. WhatsApp status (portrait 9:16 collage). Twitter post (landscape 16:9 collage).
