Tip: if you plan to place photos side by side — use all horizontal or all vertical shots for a cleaner look.

Step 2 — Choose How to Arrange Photos

On "Layout", pick arrangement:

  • Two side by side → 2×1
  • Two stacked → 1×2
  • Four in a square → 2×2
  • Six photos → 2×3 or 3×2
  • Nine photos → 3×3

Click "Export". Pick JPG, PNG, or PDF — the file downloads immediately.

Combine 2 Photos into One Online

Two ways depending on layout:

Side by side (2×1): left and right. Good for before/after, pairs, two views of one place.

Stacked (1×2): top and bottom. Good for vertical portraits and tall subjects.

Upload both, pick the grid — combined image is ready.

Join Photos Horizontally

Horizontal combine is the top format for comparisons:

  • Fitness: before and after
  • Renovation: room before and after
  • Hair or look: before and after stylist
  • Same building summer and winter

Use 2×1. Crop each shot independently inside its cell.

Merge Photos Vertically

For vertical combine — 1×2. One photo on top, one below. Works for portraits, long screenshots, vertical subjects.

If photos differ in size — the editor balances cell space. Each shot crops separately.

Tips for a Clean Combined Image

Align horizons. If shots have horizons or straight lines — line them up in neighboring cells.

Match lighting. Different white balance side by side feels off. Pick similar lighting.

Use frames to separate. If colors blend — add a thin frame: White Classic, Silver Classic.
