# Make a Photo Grid Collage

Put a holiday, a party or a product range into one picture. Add the photos, choose how many columns and what shape the cells are, and save a tidy grid.

**Quick answer:** To make a photo collage, add the photos, drag them into order and press Make collage: they are arranged in a grid as square as possible, or in the number of columns you set. Choose square, 4:3, 3:4, 16:9 or 9:16 cells, fill or fit, spacing and background colour. There is no watermark and nothing is uploaded.

## How to use it

1. Choose the photos; drag them into order.
2. Leave Columns empty for an even grid, or set a number.
3. Pick the cell shape and whether photos fill the cells (cropped) or show whole.
4. Set spacing and background, press Make collage and save the image.

## Grids that look good

| Photos | Columns | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 4 | 2 | 2 × 2 square |
| 6 | 3 | 3 × 2 landscape |
| 9 | 3 | 3 × 3 square, ideal for Instagram |
| 12 | 4 | 4 × 3 landscape |

If the photos do not fill the last row, the empty cells show the background colour; add or remove a photo for a full grid.

## Fill or show whole

**Fill** crops each photo to the cell shape, giving a neat grid with no gaps; faces near the edges may be cut. **Show whole photo** keeps every photo complete with background around it. Square cells with Fill give the classic collage look; 3:4 suits portraits.

## Size and sharing

2048 px is plenty for messaging and social media; choose 8000 px to print the collage. Save as JPG for photos. Then resize it for a platform with [Resize image for Instagram](https://sharelargefilesfree.com/tools/resize-image-for-instagram), or send the full-resolution originals with a [download link](https://sharelargefilesfree.com/). Everything is made in your browser.
