When You Need a Horizontal Collage

Horizontal format — width greater than height. Use it for:

  • VK feed posts — wide publications in the timeline
  • "Before and after" comparisons — two shots side by side
  • Landscape selections — nature, travel, architecture
  • Wide printing — banners, horizontal posters
  • Presentations — slides are usually horizontal

How to Create a Horizontal Collage

Before choosing a grid, open "Canvas" and set the format:

  • 16:9 — widescreen, for YouTube, presentations, horizontal banners
  • 4:3 — standard for most horizontal photos

Horizontal Collage for Printing

For horizontal print on A4 landscape (297×210 mm):

  • Use landscape (horizontal) photos
  • 2×1 — two shots side by side
  • 3×2 — six shots in wide layout

When printing choose "Landscape orientation" and "Fit to page."

For large format (banners, posters) — download PNG for maximum resolution.


Tips for a Beautiful Horizontal Collage

Use horizontal photos. Vertical shots in a horizontal collage get cropped on the sides. Pick landscape frames or recrop before upload.

Align the horizon. If shots have a horizon line — match it across neighboring cells.

Watch lighting. Warm next to cool side by side feels off. Pick similar lighting.

Add a thin frame for separation. If photos blend by color — try White Classic or Silver Classic. Good contrast — "No Frame" is fine.
