Choose the two-color treatment in your source images

Use photographs that already share two dominant colors if you want a duotone look. This preset supplies magazine geometry and neutral styling; it does not apply a duotone filter or recolor photo pixels.

Create a feature spread from a limited-color portrait and supporting detail shots, keeping the lead image stronger than the background.

This template is built for 5 to 10 photos. It works best for editorials, portfolios, features, where the viewer needs to understand the relationship between the images quickly.

How to use this template

  1. Add JPG, PNG or WebP photographs to the editor above. The template settings 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.

Prepare the color treatment before arranging

Choose source images that already share the intended two-color treatment. The preset provides magazine geometry and restrained surroundings; it does not turn ordinary color photographs into duotone images.

Use the strongest silhouette as the feature image and quieter details as support. If the photographs have conflicting color treatments, edit them separately first. Changing the collage background does not recolor the photographs themselves.

Compare related layouts

A layout changes the arrangement. Use these alternatives when you want different emphasis or a different number of panels.

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.
