How to combine images into one
- Drop two or more images in the box above.
- Pick a layout. For a grid, set how many columns you want and the rows follow.
- Add spacing if you want a gap and a border, then download the combined image.
About combining images here
Images of different sizes are matched on the shared edge, so a row is scaled to the tallest of them and a column to the widest. Each one keeps its own proportions and nothing is squashed, stretched or cut off. The output size follows from that: the images laid end to end, plus whatever spacing you asked for.
Spacing is added around the images rather than taken out of them, so turning it up grows the canvas instead of eating into the pictures. That holds even after you have typed your own output size, because spacing that left the canvas alone would have to come out of the pictures instead. A size you type says how much room the images get, and the spacing goes around it.
The grid works differently on purpose. Columns line up down the page and rows line up across it, which is the whole point of calling it a grid, so a cell is not always the shape of its image. Each column is as wide as the widest image in it and each row as tall as the tallest, nothing is ever scaled down, and anything smaller than its cell sits centred with the background showing.
You can still crop. Switch any single image to Fill and it covers its cell, and you drag it to choose which part shows. The preview is shrunk to fit your screen. The download uses the exact size shown.

Common questions
Is the combine tool free?
Yes, properly free. No paid tier, no trial, no watermark on the result and nothing to sign up for. Put as many files through it as you like, as often as you like.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The combine tool runs inside your browser, on your own machine, so your files never go anywhere. Big ones are fine too, up to whatever your browser can hold.
How do I put two photos side by side?
Drop both images and choose the side by side layout. You get one picture with the two of them next to each other, both of them whole, and the output size is worked out from the photos rather than guessed. Drag the divider between them to give one more room than the other. The result downloads as a single file.
Do the images have to be the same size?
No. They are matched on the edge they share, so side by side scales them all to the height of the tallest and stacking scales them to the width of the widest. Nothing is cropped or stretched to make that work, and the combined image comes out as wide as the pieces laid end to end.
Why is my image cropped, and how do I stop it?
Nothing is cropped unless you ask for it. Each image starts on Fit, which shows all of it, and the cell it sits in starts out the same shape as the image. If you drag a divider or type your own output size, a cell can end up a different shape, and then a Fit image sits centred with background around it rather than losing its edges. Press Fill on an image to crop it into its cell instead, and drag it to choose which part shows.
How many images can go in the grid, and can I choose the rows and columns?
Any number up to eight, in whatever shape you like. Set the columns and the rows follow, or set the rows and the columns follow, because every image has to land in a cell and choosing one decides the other. Five images in three columns gives you a row of three and a row of two, and the empty cell at the end stays empty rather than stretching an image across it.
How do I add a border or a gap between the images?
The spacing slider does both at once. It puts the same gap between the images and around the outside, and it is added to the canvas rather than taken out of the pictures, so the images stay exactly as big as they were and the combined image gets bigger. Pick a background colour to set what shows in that space.
