How many photos can I put in a collage poster?
From 2 up to 36 photos. The layout is chosen automatically to keep cells close to a natural photo shape, and a short last row is centred.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The collage is built and printed entirely in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
Can I change the order of the photos?
Photos appear in the order you add them. To change the order, remove a photo and add it again, or add your photos in the order you want.
Why are some photos cropped?
Each photo is scaled to fill its cell and trimmed evenly from the centre so the grid stays neat. Keep important details near the middle of each picture.
What paper should I print my collage on?
Any A4, US Letter or A3 paper your printer accepts. Slightly heavier matte paper looks more like a photo print and is easier to glue.
Can I add effects to the collage?
Yes. The halftone black-and-white and colour effects apply to the whole collage, which helps photos from different cameras look like a set.
How do I make a photo collage poster for free?
Add your photos to the maker above, choose a shape, spacing and background, set how many sheets wide the poster should be and download the PDF. There is no fee, watermark or account, and you print the pages on your own printer — no print-shop order needed.
What size do my photos need to be?
Any normal phone or camera photo works. Because each picture fills only one cell of the grid, a collage needs far fewer pixels per photo than printing a single picture at the same size. Very small images, such as thumbnails saved from social media, may still look soft.
Can I make a photo collage poster with only a few pictures?
Yes, two photos are enough. With two to four pictures each one gets a large cell, which suits a couple's portrait, a before-and-after pair or a few travel highlights printed big.
Can I print the collage on a single sheet?
Yes. Set the poster to one sheet wide to get a normal A4, Letter or A3 print — handy for a card, the fridge door or a quick test print before you make the full-size collage.
Can I add a title or captions to the collage?
Not inside the collage itself: the photo collage poster maker arranges photos only. For a heading such as a name or date, make a matching banner with our poster templates, or write it on a separate sheet and hang it above the collage.
How do I hang a large collage without damaging the wall?
Tape the trimmed sheets together from the back, then use removable poster strips at the corners and along the seams. For a firmer finish, glue the sheets onto foam board or thin card first; it keeps the collage poster flat and easy to move later.
Can I download the collage as separate images?
Yes. Choose “JPG pages (.zip)” as the format to get one image per sheet, numbered in print order — useful if you print at a copy shop or photo kiosk.
