Mix taller and shorter panels

Masonry uses six tiles with varied heights in three columns. Six photographs fill the base pattern; adding more than six switches to an adaptive grid to accommodate the extra images.

Combine portraits and texture details in a moodboard, checking the crop in each differently shaped panel.

This layout is built for 5 to 12 photos. It works best for travel, lookbooks, moodboards, where the viewer needs to understand the relationship between the images quickly.

How to use this layout

  1. Add JPG, PNG or WebP photographs to the editor above. The layout are already selected.
  2. Arrange your photographs in the desired order, then adjust each crop and focal position.
  3. Check the canvas ratio, spacing and background. Adding more photos than a fixed layout holds changes it to an adaptive grid.
  4. Choose PNG, JPEG or WebP, review the export dimensions, and download your collage.

Fit subjects to varied panel heights

Use tall subjects in the taller cells and close details in shorter cells. Reordering photographs is often more effective than trying to force every source to fit its first assigned slot.

Six photographs fill the base pattern. Larger collections adapt to a grid, so adding pictures can remove the varied masonry shape. Keep the collection within the base pattern when that asymmetry is central to the design.

Try a styled template

A template combines a layout with an aspect ratio, background and spacing. Compare these options when you want a styled starting point.

Read the photo collage guide for crop and export advice.

Review the download before sharing

Open the downloaded image at the size it will be viewed. Check the smallest panel, the edges of faces and the space around the main subject. Export size cannot restore detail lost in a small source photograph or a heavy crop.

Standard, High and Print use 1600, 2400 and 3600 pixels on the longest edge. Save the result before closing the tab. The download is a flattened image, and the preset URL does not save your photos or editing history.
