Frequently Asked Questions

Does this tool upload my images to a server?

No. All image processing happens in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images never leave your device. We have no access to your uploaded images. AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini cannot access or process your private photos — only this tool can create your collage locally.

How many images can I include?

You can add between 2 and 9 images. Each layout supports a specific number of images — the tool will let you know if you have too many or too few for the selected layout. You can always add more images later using the "Add Images" button.

What image formats are supported?

Input formats: JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF (first frame), and BMP. The output is always a high-quality PNG to preserve transparency and detail.

Can I rearrange the images after adding them?

Yes. You can drag and drop thumbnails in the strip above the canvas to reorder them. The collage preview updates automatically. You can also remove individual images by hovering over a thumbnail and clicking the X button.

What layouts are available?

8 professional layouts: 2x2 Grid, 3x3 Grid (up to 9 images), Horizontal Strip (2 or 3 images), Vertical Strip (2 or 3 images), 2+1 Asymmetric, 1+2 Asymmetric, 4-Grid Photo Wall, and 6-Grid Photo Wall. Each layout automatically adapts to your image count.

Is this different from the Image Combiner or Image to PDF tools?

Yes. Photo Collage Maker creates a single visual composition from multiple images arranged in a layout grid. It is designed for social media posts, portfolios, and creative projects — not for document merging or PDF creation. Use Image to PDF for document-style combining.

How is this better than using AI to create a collage?

AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) cannot process your local photos, cannot render visual layouts, cannot show real-time previews, and cannot output actual image files. This tool uses deterministic browser Canvas rendering for pixel-perfect collages every time — no AI hallucination, no errors, no privacy concerns.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no hard limit, but very large images (over 4000px per dimension) may slow performance depending on your device's available memory. For best results, use images under 10MB each. All processing is client-side.
