Photo Grid Maker: several photos in one picture
Choose a grid, drop in several photos, and export one JPG or PNG that holds the whole layout, with spacing and a background you can see.

Several photos, one image
A 2x2, a 3x3, rows, or columns
Start with the layout that matches the number of photos you care about. A 2x2 holds four pictures in an even square. A 3x3 holds nine and suits a bigger set that should still feel orderly. Rows and columns are there when the count is neither four nor nine, and shape crops help a tall portrait sit politely beside a wide shot. You are building one image, so the balance of the whole frame matters more than any single tile. Move through the strip until the preview looks like the poster, the card, or the recap you had in mind.
One export, at a frame you can name
Choose 1:1 and the image is 1080 by 1080. Choose 4:5 and it is 1080 by 1350. Choose 16:9 and it is 1920 by 1080. Gap starts at 8 and the background starts white, and both show in the preview before you commit. Export JPG when you want a simple photo file, or PNG when you want a PNG. Up to 16 images can be placed, from JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF sources. The download is that one composed picture. It is the opposite of a ZIP of equal slices, which is what the carousel writes after you switch modes.
Single mode, on purpose
The collage maker can also build a carousel, and this page refuses that job. Stay in single mode so Save gives you one image of the grid. If the preview suddenly looks like a filmstrip you meant to zip, you have left the grid. Come back to the layout strip, pick the 2x2, the 3x3, or the row and column arrangement, and export again. The work stays in the browser. Keep the individual photos, because a later edit to one tile starts from those files and a fresh export of the whole grid.
How it works
- 1
Stay in single mode
This page is the grid, one image of several photos. Leave carousel mode for a ZIP of slides. The layout strip is where the grid shapes live.
- 2
Pick a layout and add photos
Use a 2x2, a 3x3, rows, columns, or a shape crop. Add JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF files, up to 16, in the order the tiles should read.
- 3
Set the frame and export one file
1:1 is 1080 by 1080, 4:5 is 1080 by 1350, and 16:9 is 1920 by 1080. Gap starts at 8 and the background starts white. Export JPG or PNG.
Use cases
Four photos as one square
Choose the 2x2, set 1:1 so the file is 1080 by 1080, and export a single JPG or PNG you can post as one picture.
A nine-photo recap
The 3x3 holds the set in one image. Adjust the gap, which starts at 8, if the tiles feel crowded, then download the combined file.
A wide board of mixed shots
Rows or columns plus a 16:9 frame at 1920 by 1080 give you one landscape image. Shape crops keep odd portraits inside the grid.
Problems we solve
The download was a ZIP
That is the carousel export. Return to single mode, pick the grid layout, and export JPG or PNG so the result is one image.
A tile looks oddly cropped
Try a shape crop from the layout strip, or swap in a photo that already matches the tile. The gap and the white background can be changed before you export again.

Trust & technology
Composed in the browser
The grid, the gap, the background, and the JPG or PNG export stay on this device. Your separate photos remain the originals.
One file holds the set
The download is a single image of the layout you see. Equal slices in a ZIP belong to the carousel, not to this grid.
