How to make a photo collage

A free collage app often means a watermark on the download, or a small cap on how many photos fit. Here is a browser-based option with neither limit.

Phone collage apps

Instagram's Layout app and similar phone apps make quick grid collages and are convenient since the photos are already on the phone, but most cap the free layout options or add a watermark or a small logo to the corner of the result unless you pay to remove it.

In Canva

Canva has ready-made collage templates and a lot of layout flexibility, but its free tier limits some templates and elements to Canva Pro, and it is more tool than needed for a simple grid of photos.

Making a collage in the browser

Stayput's collage maker arranges dropped photos into a grid, a row, or a stack with adjustable spacing and a background colour, entirely in the browser, with no watermark and no cap on how many photos go in beyond what your device can hold in memory. A specialised layout, stitching screenshots together end to end rather than in a grid, covers a long scrolling capture split across several images.

Questions

Is there a photo collage maker with no watermark?

Yes, Stayput's collage maker adds no watermark or logo to the result.

How many photos can I put in one collage?

There is no fixed cap; the practical limit is how many photos your device can hold in memory at once while it lays out the grid.

Can I stack photos vertically instead of a grid?

Yes, Stayput's collage maker offers a grid, a row, or a vertical stack layout, with adjustable spacing between photos.

Can I combine several screenshots into one long image?

Yes, the stitch screenshots page joins them end to end in order, which suits a long scrolling capture split across multiple images better than a grid layout does.
