How to make a photo grid
- Choose your photos. The order you pick them in is the order they fill the grid, left to right and top to bottom; use the arrows to change it.
- Set the number of columns. Rows are added automatically, and an incomplete last row is centered.
- Choose a cell shape and spacing, press Make photo grid, then download.

Choosing a cell shape
Square cells suit social media and mixed photos. Portrait (4:5) cells flatter people and match Instagram’s tallest feed shape. Landscape (3:2) matches most camera photos, so less is cropped. Tall (9:16) cells match phone screenshots and stories.
Fill mode crops each photo around its center to fill the cell, so check heads near the top edge. Fit mode keeps the whole photo and shows the background color around it.
What size is the download?
Each cell is up to 1,000 pixels wide, and the whole grid stays under 8,000 pixels on its longest side. A 3 × 3 square grid with 16 px spacing comes out at 3,064 × 3,064 pixels, which prints sharply at 10 × 10 inches.
