Use this layoutLayouts, ratios and photo counts
The best layout depends on how many photos you have and the story you want to tell. Two- and three-photo layouts create clear hierarchy for a small set, grids keep larger collections orderly, and mosaic layouts like masonry and quilt bring rhythm to photos of different shapes.
Every layout works with any canvas ratio, so the same structure can become a square Instagram post, a tall Pinterest pin, a widescreen thumbnail or an A4 print. Set a focal point on each photo and the layout keeps faces and key details in view.
From structure to finished collage
A layout is the foundation; the finish is what makes it feel premium. After choosing a structure, refine the spacing, round the corners, add a border, pick a background and export a clean, high-resolution image — all in the browser, with nothing uploaded.

What is a collage layout?
A layout is the arrangement of cells that your photos fill — a grid, a hero-and-supporting split, a mosaic, a film strip and so on. It controls structure; you control the photos, ratio and finish.
How do I choose a layout by number of photos?
Match the layout to your photo count: two- and three-photo layouts for small sets, four- and nine-cell grids for larger ones, and masonry or quilt layouts for flexible collections.
Can I change the layout after I start?
Yes. Switching layouts keeps your photos and their crops, so you can try different structures until the composition feels right.
What is the difference between a layout and a template?
A layout is structure only. A template adds a design finish on top — ratio, spacing, corners, borders and background — for a specific style or occasion.
