Where are the collage templates?

They are the layouts in the picker, shown for the number of photos you added. A 2x2 and rows appear for four pictures. A 3x3 appears when you have nine. Circle, heart, and diamond clips are in that same list as layout masks. There is no rented theme library beside the strip. Choose a thumbnail, fill it with your JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF files, and export one picture.

Why do some layouts disappear when I add a photo?

Each template belongs to a photo count. A one-photo heart mask leaves the strip when a second file arrives, because that mask is a one-cell layout. The new count brings its own maps, such as splits, rows, or a 2x2. Remove a file if you wanted the earlier shape back. The filtering keeps every cell tied to a real picture, which is why an empty slot does not linger.

Can I redraw the cell sizes myself?

You switch templates rather than dragging the grid tracks. The thumbnail is the structure. Pan inside a cell when the subject needs to move, which is the per-photo control. Gap starts at 8 pixels and can be widened. The background starts at #ffffff and can be recolored. The frame, 1:1, 4:5, or 16:9, is chosen separately and the template fills that box.

Do the templates include Instagram sizes?

The template is the layout, and the frame is the size. Choose 1:1 at 1080 by 1080 or 4:5 at 1080 by 1350, then pick a map that fits your count. The layouts are not tagged with a network name. A wide 16:9 frame at 1920 by 1080 is there for landscape stills. Export JPG or PNG after you see the photos inside the frame you actually need.

Can I save a template for my team?

The studio does not keep a cloud library of custom themes. Repeat the same frame, the same photo count, the same layout, the same gap, and the same background color. Note the layout label in the brief if several people will rebuild it. Everyone fills the cells with their own pictures. The result is still one JPG or PNG from the browser, using the picker that is already on the page.

What file do I get after I fill a layout?

One JPG or one PNG of the filled template. The collage is a single picture, composed locally, with up to sixteen images. A stack of swipeable slides packaged as a ZIP is the carousel maker, a different mode. Here you download the board you just filled. Open it, confirm the lead photo still leads, and send that file.

Collage Templates: pick a layout and fill it with photos

The templates are the layouts already in the picker. Choose one for your photo count, drop your pictures in, and export.

The layouts you need are already waiting in the strip. This page is about that picker: the templates are the grids, rows, and shape clips the studio shows for the number of photos you added, and you fill them with your own pictures. Add the files first, because the count decides which templates appear. One photo opens full-frame and shaped options. Two photos open splits. Four photos open a 2x2, rows, and mixed heroes. Nine photos open a 3x3 among the denser sheets. You can bring up to sixteen images, as JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF. There is no separate library to rent and no locked second row. If a map matches the count, it is on the strip. Shape clips are templates too. Circle, heart, and diamond masks sit beside the rectangular grids. They are layout masks, so choosing a heart is like choosing a 2x2: the structure is the template, and your photo is what fills it. They are part of the collage. A crop tool elsewhere can trim a single picture before you drop it in, and that is a different step from picking a mask here. The frame is chosen apart from the template. 1:1 is 1080 by 1080, 4:5 is 1080 by 1350, and 16:9 is 1920 by 1080. A template fills whichever box you picked. Gap starts at 8 pixels. The background starts white, #ffffff. Those two are the chrome you adjust after the structure is set. Export one JPG or one PNG of the filled layout. The download is a single picture, built locally.

Templates that are layouts you already have

The strip follows the photo count

Load four files and the 2x2 appears with the other four-photo maps, including rows. Load nine and a 3x3 joins the denser options. The strip is filtered on purpose, so a nine-cell look will not pretend to work with three files. Add or remove a picture and the legal templates change with you.

Grids, rows, and shape masks

Most templates are rectangular cells. Circle, heart, and diamond are clip masks inside the same list. They shape how the photo is seen, and they rasterize with the rest of the collage when you export. Spacing and the white starting field still apply on top. Illustrated sticker packs and seasonal paper frames are outside this picker.

Repeat a look by repeating the choices

There is no cloud shelf of saved themes. Consistency is a habit: the same frame, the same count, the same gap, the same background. Write those choices in the brief. A Thursday 2x2 at 1:1 with an 8 pixel gap will look related to last Thursday's board because you chose the same layout again.

How it works

1
Drop the photos before you browse
The picker lists templates for the current count. Three files will not surface a 3x3, and four files will.
2
Click the map that matches the idea
Equal grids, rows, hero mixes, or a circle, heart, or diamond mask. The thumbnail is the structure you are choosing.
3
Adjust chrome, then export
Gap starts at 8 and the field starts at #ffffff. Set the frame to 1:1, 4:5, or 16:9, then save one JPG or PNG.

Use cases

A repeating social tile

The same four-cell square each week, filled with new photos, so the grid looks related without a rented theme.

A shaped portrait

A circle or diamond mask for a place that will crop round or want a softer silhouette than a hard rectangle.

Three options for a client

Fill two or three layouts with the same set, export each as its own picture, and send the files in one email.

Problems we solve

A template that vanished

It left because the photo count changed. Shape masks often belong to a specific count. Add the file back, or pick a map that fits the new set.

Wanting illustrated frames

These templates are geometry: grids, rows, and clips. The background is a solid color, starting at white. Your photos supply the content.

Hunting for a premium strip

Every layout that matches your count is available in the picker you already see. Fill it and export.
