Learn different collage layouts and how to create them with free online tools.

Photo Collages

Photo collages combine multiple images into an artistic layout. They're perfect for memories, events, and social media.

Collage Layout Types

Grid: Equal-sized cells in rows and columns Mosaic: Varied sizes for visual interest Stacked: Overlapping images for depth Strip: Horizontal or vertical film strip style

Design Principles

  • Odd numbers: 3, 5, or 7 images look best
  • Color harmony: Choose photos with similar color tones
  • Focal point: One larger image as the centerpiece
  • Spacing: Consistent gaps between images
  • Background: Neutral background lets photos shine
