How do I make a birthday collage from party photos?

Choose the frames that tell the day, usually the cake and a few guests, and add them as JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF. Pick a 2x2, a row, or another layout that matches the count, including a heart or circle mask if you want that shape. Set the frame to 1:1 or 4:5, leave the gap at 8 or widen it, and export one JPG or PNG. The still is built in your browser.

Is this a stack of greeting cards?

You leave with one celebration still, a single picture of the photos you arranged. The page is the collage studio used for a party, a wedding, or a holiday. Layouts are grids, rows, and shape clips such as circle, heart, and diamond. Frames are 1080 by 1080, 1080 by 1350, and 1920 by 1080. Download the JPG or PNG and share that image. Printed cards, envelopes, and a shop catalog are a different kind of project.

How many photos should a party recap include?

Four is a strong default, and six can still be read on a phone. Nine in a 3x3 works when everyone must appear and you accept smaller faces. Sixteen is the maximum the canvas allows, and it is rarely the kindest recap. Remove near-duplicates before you design. Pan each remaining face toward the center of its cell so the group chat can tell who was there.

Why will my iPhone pictures not load?

They are often still HEIC. Convert those files to JPG or PNG, then drop the converted pictures into the collage. The studio accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF. Once they are in, choose the layout, the frame, and the export. Starting from the camera original, rather than a copy someone forwarded through chat, also keeps cheeks and candles clearer in the final still.

Can I tint the space between the photos?

Yes. The gap starts at 8 pixels and the background starts white, #ffffff. Change the field to a warmer color if the party palette wants it, and widen the gap if the faces need room to breathe. Preview the full frame after the change. A heart layout mask is separate from the field color: the mask clips the photo, and the field shows in the gaps. Export when both feel right.

What should I send to the family thread?

Send the picture you exported, renamed with the person's name and the date. That file holds the celebration still. The originals remain on your device, and the collage itself was arranged locally. If you later wish you had included one more guest, add that photo, stay within sixteen, and export again. A ZIP of separate slides would be the carousel maker, and a recap like this wants the single picture.

A party leaves you with a full camera roll and a wish for one picture that feels like the day. This page uses the same collage maker as a celebration still: you choose the frames that tell the afternoon, arrange them, and download a single image to send to the people who were there. Edit before you design. The canvas holds up to sixteen images, and a phone screen is kinder to four or six. Keep the cake, two candid guests, and one wide view of the room if those are the moments. A wedding recap, a holiday table, or a farewell can use the same habit. If you cannot say why a frame is included, it can wait on the roll. JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF files can come in. Phone photos that are still HEIC should be converted first so the picker can read them. Then treat it as an ordinary collage with a festive set of pictures. Square 1:1 at 1080 by 1080 is an easy share for a family thread. A taller 4:5 at 1080 by 1350 gives the faces more room. A wide 16:9 at 1920 by 1080 suits a banner-like still. Layouts include a 2x2, a 3x3 when you truly have nine people to include, rows, and shape masks. A heart or a circle is available as a layout clip when you want that shape. The gap starts at 8 pixels and the background starts white, #ffffff, which you can tint if the party colors want a warmer field. Export one JPG or one PNG. That file is the celebration still. You can attach it in the group chat or keep it with the other pictures from the day. The arranging happens in the browser, on your device, which is a gentle way to handle photos of children and relatives. The download is one combined image of the photos you chose.

One still that carries the day

Choose the frames that tell it

A birthday dump can be hundreds of near-duplicates. The studio max is sixteen, and four to six usually make a clearer recap. Name the cake, the guests, and one detail. The same edit works for a wedding handful or a holiday table. The template is only the container. The selection is the craft.

A familiar collage, used for a celebration

You are in the single-mode studio. 2x2, 3x3, rows, and circle, heart, or diamond masks are the layouts. Frames are 1080 by 1080, 1080 by 1350, and 1920 by 1080. Gap starts at 8. The field starts at #ffffff. Pan faces into the calm center of each cell so the group chat can see who was there.

A picture you can send today

JPG is usually enough for a chat. PNG is there when you want the still kept as a PNG. Either export is one file, built locally from JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF inputs. Rename it with the name and the date so it does not disappear among other downloads.

How it works

1
Pick the story frames
Choose the cake, the people, and one sense of the room. Convert HEIC to JPG or PNG if the phone files will not open.
2
Use a layout that keeps faces large
A 2x2 or a short row is easier to read than a packed sheet. A heart mask is optional, available as a layout clip.
3
Save the celebration still
Export a single picture. The square or the 4:5 frame is a friendly size for a family thread.

Use cases

A same-day party recap

Four photos, a square frame, a white or softly tinted field, and a JPG in the family chat before people head home.

A wedding or farewell handful

The same studio, a small set, faces panned inward, and one picture that stands in for the longer roll.

A holiday table

The meal, the people, and one detail, arranged in rows or a simple grid and saved as a single image.

Problems we solve

Trying to include every photo

The roll is larger than the canvas, and the canvas is larger than a readable post. Keep the frames that change the story.

Soft faces from a forwarded copy

Chat images are often compressed twice. Start from the camera originals when you still have them, then build the still.

A heart shape that hides the guest

A heart or circle mask clips the photo. Pan until the face sits inside the shape, or switch to a plain 2x2 if the people matter more than the silhouette.
