Lead with one image
Place the photograph with the clearest subject first so it occupies the larger left panel. Use the smaller panels for details that support that image rather than compete with it.
Combine a full outfit, a fabric detail and an accessory. Check the detail crops after changing the canvas ratio.
This template is built for 3 photos. It works best for mini stories, portraits, travel scenes, where the viewer needs to understand the relationship between the images quickly.

How to use this template
- Add JPG, PNG or WebP photographs to the editor above. The template settings are already selected.
- Arrange your photographs in the desired order, then adjust each crop and focal position.
- Check the canvas ratio, spacing and background. Adding more photos than a fixed layout holds changes it to an adaptive grid.
- Choose PNG, JPEG or WebP, review the export dimensions, and download your collage.
Choose the supporting photographs carefully
Use the largest panel to establish the subject and the other two to explain it. A whole room with a furniture detail and a material close-up works better than three distant views competing for attention.
The smaller panels need simpler images because they occupy less of the final download. Check that an important face has not landed in a detail slot, then reorder the tray before making small focal adjustments.
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.
