Combine photos into one picture

Put two pictures next to each other for a comparison, or arrange a set of photos in a grid. ilovecollage exports the whole canvas as one image.

Side-by-side photo layout compared with a four-photo grid and a freeform scrapbook arrangement
Choose an equal pair for comparisons or a grid for a larger set of pictures.

Put two photos side by side

  1. Open the editor and choose a two-photo horizontal layout in the layout panel.
  2. Add one picture to each cell.
  3. Select each photo and adjust its crop. Choose Fit if keeping every edge matters.
  4. Set the gap and outer margin. Reduce them to zero if you want the images to meet.
  5. Open Export and download your combined image.

Choose a canvas that fits the pair

Two square pictures in equal side-by-side cells fit a wide canvas better than a tall one. If your subjects are vertical portraits, a square or landscape canvas can give them more room. Use the canvas size menu to compare the preview before exporting.

The layout keeps each photo in its own cell; it does not blend the boundary or stitch a panorama. Use a visible gap when you want to make the separation clear.

Keep the whole photo or fill the frame?

Fill makes every cell look complete by cropping parts of the source image. Drag within the photo to decide what remains visible. Fit preserves the whole photo, which is useful for screenshots, documents and product images, but can leave background visible around it.

Combine more than two pictures

Choose a layout that matches the photo count, up to ten. An equal grid suits a product collection; a larger hero cell suits a main photo plus supporting details. Adjust spacing and background consistently across the composition.

Download one file

Use PNG for screenshots or images with text, and JPEG for a compact photo collage. Review the exported dimensions in the dialog. To change the arrangement later, also save an editable .collage project.
