Step-by-Step: Make a Collage in 3 Minutes

Four simple steps on our service.

Step 1 — Open the Editor and Choose a Template

Go to the Collage Online editor. On the left you'll see grid templates for 2, 3, 4, 6, and more photos. Pick one that fits your task.

Not sure where to start? Try square 2×2 — it works everywhere: feed, Stories, and print.

Step 2 — Upload Photos

Tap any cell and choose a photo from your device. Shots auto-fit the cell size. Wrong crop? Drag the photo inside the cell to show the part you want.

Upload one by one or several at once — the editor fills cells automatically.

Step 3 — Add a Frame

Open the "Frames" tab and pick from the catalog: Decor, Colors, Love, Wedding, Holiday, Seasonal. Don't want a frame? Choose "No Frame". Everything updates in one click.

Need to swap photos? Tap ⇄ on a cell — the editor lets you exchange with any other cell.

Step 4 — Download Your Collage

Click "Export" at the top. Choose JPG, PNG, or PDF — the file saves to your device. Done!

The editor auto-saves a draft in the browser. Close the tab and come back later — you'll see an option to restore the collage with a preview. Your work isn't lost.

How to Make a Collage on iPhone

On iPhone it works like Android, with one small Safari detail when saving.

After tapping download the image may open in a new browser tab. To save to Photos:

1. Press and hold the image for 1–2 seconds
2. In the menu choose "Add to Photos"

The collage saves at full quality.

Tips: How to Build a Beautiful Collage

A few simple tricks make collages look much better.

Use photos with one mood. Shots from the same day or similar light feel cohesive. Mixing winter and summer, or very bright and very dark, in one collage usually doesn't work.

Don't overload. Four to six photos read easier than twelve. Fewer shots — each one has more room and impact.

Add a white gap. A thin white frame between photos is a classic trick. Even a simple collage looks neat and finished.

Match format to goal. VK or Instagram post — square 1:1. Stories — vertical 9:16. Home or lab print — A4.

Try different templates. The same photos look different in different grids. Spend a minute comparing layouts — it's worth it.
