Frequently Asked Questions

How many images can I add to a collage?
The number depends on the layout you choose. Layouts range from 2 images (2x1) up to 9 images (3x3).
Can I rearrange images in the collage?
Currently images are placed in the order you upload them. You can remove and re-add images to change the order.
What output format is used?
Collages are exported as high-quality JPEG images at 92% quality.
Is there a limit on image size?
There's no hard limit. Images are automatically scaled to fit the grid cells using cover-fit cropping.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. All collage creation happens in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device.
Can I customize the spacing between images?
Yes. Use the gap slider to adjust the spacing between grid cells. You can also change the background color that shows between images.
Can I create collages on my phone?
Yes. The tool works on any device with a modern browser. Upload photos from your camera roll and create collages directly.
What resolution is the output collage?
The output width is customizable. Images are scaled to fill the grid at high quality. The final image is exported as a JPEG at 92% quality.
Can I control how images are cropped within grid cells?
Images are automatically scaled using cover-fit cropping to fill each cell. For best results, center your main subject in the original image before adding it to the collage.
What grid layouts are available?
Choose from 8 layouts: 2x1 (side by side), 1x2 (stacked), 2x2, 3x1, 1x3, 3x2, 2x3, and 3x3. Each layout determines how many images you need.
Can I set a custom background color between images?
Yes. Use the color picker to choose any background color for the gaps between grid cells. White and black are popular choices, but any color works.
What is the maximum number of images in a collage?
The 3x3 layout supports up to 9 images. For larger collages, create multiple 3x3 grids and combine them using the tool again.

Tips & Best Practices

Use images with similar aspect ratios for the most balanced-looking grid

Adjust the gap slider to add spacing between images — 10-20px creates a clean border effect

Set a custom output width (1080px is ideal for Instagram, 1200px for Facebook)

Images are automatically cropped to fill grid cells — center your subjects for best results

How It Works — 100% Private Processing

FyleTools creates collages entirely in your browser using canvas-based image compositing. Each photo is scaled and positioned into the grid layout on your device — no images are uploaded to any server. The final collage is rendered locally and exported as a high-quality JPEG.
