Photo grid and layout templates
Choose a layout for the photos you want to combine
Start with the finished canvas size, then choose a basic template. The collage can contain from one to ten photos.
Balanced photo grid
Give every photo similar visual weight in a clean grid with adjustable gaps, margins and rounded corners.
One larger photo
Feature one main image beside smaller supporting photos for events, products, trips or family stories.
Vertical panels
Arrange photos in vertical frames for portraits, comparisons and wide social-media canvases.
Horizontal panels
Stack images in horizontal frames for timelines, instructions and tall Story or Pinterest-style layouts.
Open grid
Place, overlap, rotate and resize photos freely when you want an aesthetic moodboard or scrapbook-style collage.
Freeform collage design
Arrange photos freely with Open grid
Open grid starts with a checkered transparent canvas instead of fixed frames. Drag photos onto the canvas and build the composition yourself.
- Move and resize: position each photo and choose its size.
- Rotate and overlap: angle photos and let them cover one another.
- Control the layers: move the selected photo up or down to decide which image appears on top.
- Finish the design: choose photo frames, a transparent, coloured or image background, and optional text.

Create and save a collage in five steps
The workflow keeps layout choices, photo editing and saving separate so each decision is easy to understand.
Select Layout
Choose a grid size, then select a Basic template or Open grid.
Add Photos
Add up to 10 photos as thumbnails and drag each one into a frame or onto the open canvas.
Background
Use transparency, a colour or another image behind the collage.
Add Text
Add movable captions and choose fonts, colours, backgrounds, outlines and shadows.
Image quality and save
Choose JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP or TIFF, set quality where available and save a new copy.
Ready-made canvas sizes
Start with the destination's shape
Select the final collage size before choosing the template. The individual photos are then fitted inside that canvas.
Square post
1080 × 1080 pixels for square social posts and balanced photo grids.
Portrait post
1080 × 1350 pixels for taller feed compositions and photo stories.
Story or Reel
1080 × 1920 pixels for full-height mobile stories and vertical layouts.
Pinterest-style Pin

Wide social image
1200 × 630 pixels for wide social posts, link images and banners.

Collage editing controls
Adjust the grid and every photo separately
The selected template controls the structure, while the photo tools affect only the currently selected image.
Grid style and frames
Set the photo count, outer margin, gap, rounded corners, border style, thickness and colour.
Selected photo editing
Choose Fill frame or Fit whole photo, then zoom, move, rotate or reset only the selected image.
Background and text
Add a transparent, coloured or image background, then place captions using standard or device fonts.
Cutouts and sticker-style collages
Prepare a transparent subject before building the collage
Background removal is a separate GeckoShareSafe tool. Use it to prepare a person, product or object as a transparent cutout, then combine the result with a background and other photos.

Create without uploading your photos
Select photos from your device, arrange them locally in the browser and save the finished copy yourself. GeckoShareSafe does not provide an image-upload service or cloud photo storage, and your original files stay unchanged.
