Make a digital scrapbook collage

A scrapbook layout gives your photos room to overlap and feel like a collection. Use it for a travel recap, family keepsake or visual mood board.

Start with a freeform layout

Open the collage maker and choose a freeform scrapbook layout, or start with a scrapbook template. Add your photos and pick a canvas shape that suits the finished piece. A portrait canvas gives you room for a title above a group of photos.

Build a clear focal point

Choose one main picture and give it more space. Move the supporting photo cards around it. Use the corner resize handles and the rotation handle to adjust cards, and use the layer controls when one card should sit in front of another.

Overlap can make the composition feel natural, but check that you have not covered faces or important details. Leave some background showing so the photos have room to stand out.

Add texture, frames and a short title

Try a Polaroid frame or a paper-like background. Add tape or a sticker to a corner if it supports the theme. Choose a small set of decorations and repeat them consistently. A short title or date usually reads better than a paragraph across the photos.

Make a mood board

Collect images that express a common color palette, material or atmosphere. Group related references and label them with a few words. If you share the board, make sure you have permission to use the source images.

Save the design in two forms

Download a PNG or JPEG to share the finished board. Save a .collage file as well to preserve its separate photos, text and decorations. Signed-in drafts sync to your account, while a separate project file provides another backup.
