6 Photo Collage Maker
Make a 6 photo collage in one go: six photos fill two rows of three in a landscape frame, every cell the same size, with thin white lines in between.
Drag & drop your photos

Six photos is a whole weekend.
Lay it out like one.
Six is where a collage stops being a pair of highlights and starts being a story. Two even rows of three give each moment the same room, and the landscape frame keeps them from shrinking into slivers.

Step by step
How to make a 6 photo collage
The layout is waiting before your photos arrive. With six, most of the effort goes into the order.
- Drop six photos: Drag them onto the box at the top or pick them from your files. They fill the top row left to right, then the bottom row.
- Tell it in order: Drag thumbnails in the strip until the six run like a sentence: arrival, the middle bits, the last light of the day.
- Frame each cell: Click a cell and drag the photo inside it, or zoom in on a face that came out small.
- Pick a shape for where it goes: Keep Landscape 4:3 for most uses, or switch to Wide 16:9 for a slide or a screen.
- Download: Choose PNG, JPG or WebP and an export size. No watermark.
The layout
Two rows of three: the 6 photo collage, measured
This page opens on the Even template, the Landscape 4:3 shape and white lines at 2%. The sizes below come from the code that draws your download.
| Part | Size at 1080 | Photo shape that fits it |
|---|---|---|
| The whole collage | 1440 x 1080 px | 4:3, sideways |
| Photo 1 | 469 x 529 px | 4:5, upright |
| Photo 2 | 458 x 529 px | 4:5, upright |
| Photos 3 and 4 | 469 x 529 px | 4:5, upright |
| Photo 5 | 458 x 529 px | 4:5, upright |
| Photo 6 | 469 x 529 px | 4:5, upright |
Each cell comes out just taller than a square. Square photos fit almost untouched, and phone photos give up a strip from their long side.
The middle column is a touch narrower than the outer two, because it has a line on both sides. You will not see it, but the table does.
Grid shapes
A 6 photo collage grid: landscape or portrait?
Six photos always sit in two rows of three. So the collage's shape decides whether those cells are generous or skinny.
| Collage shape | Canvas | Photo 1's cell | Photo shape that fits it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Square | 1080 x 1080 px | 349 x 529 px | 2:3, upright |
| Portrait 4:5 | 1080 x 1350 px | 349 x 664 px | 1:2, upright |
| Story 9:16 | 1080 x 1920 px | 349 x 949 px | 1:2, upright |
| Wide 16:9 | 1920 x 1080 px | 629 x 529 px | 5:4, sideways |
| Landscape 4:3 (opens here) | 1440 x 1080 px | 469 x 529 px | 4:5, upright |
Landscape 4:3 and Wide 16:9 give the friendliest cells. Square already makes them upright, and Portrait 4:5 and Story 9:16 turn them into thin columns that crop most photos hard.
Need six on a tall frame anyway? Pick Mosaic. On Story 9:16 it mixes wide and narrow cells across three rows, so landscape photos get somewhere to go.
Templates
Every 6 photo collage template, compared
Six templates sit above the preview. Here is what each one does with six photos on Landscape 4:3.
| Template | Where the six photos go | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Even | Two rows of three, all the same size | Six photos of equal weight (this page's default) |
| Big top | A panorama across the top, five portrait cells in a row underneath | One view and five people |
| Big bottom | Five portrait cells on top, a panorama underneath | Five moments that lead to one place |
| Big left | A near-square cell on the left, five thin strips stacked beside it | One portrait and five wide details |
| Big right | The same, mirrored | When the big photo's subject faces left |
| Mosaic | Three rows, the wide cell switching sides each time | Mixed landscape and portrait photos |
Big top is the one to try first if a single photo deserves more room. Its five small cells are close to the shape of a portrait photo, so people fit in them without much trimming.
Picking photos
Making a 6 picture collage feel like one set
With six pictures, the risk is a collage that looks like a camera roll screenshot. A few choices stop that.
- Mix near and far: Alternate a wide shot with a close-up across each row. Six close-ups blur together, and six wide shots feel distant.
- Anchor the corners: The top left and bottom right cells are where the eye starts and stops. Put your two strongest photos there.
- Match the light: Six photos from the same hour of the day sit together far better than six from six different days.
If two of the six are much weaker, try Big top instead. One strong photo plus five supporting ones hides a weak shot better than an even grid does.
Slides and screens
A 6 photo collage for a slide or a desktop
Six photos in two rows of three is the classic recap slide. Two settings make it fill the screen with no black bars.
Switch the Collage shape to Wide 16:9, which matches a widescreen slide and most laptop screens. The six cells come out a little wider than square, which suits landscape photos.
Export at 1080p for a slide or a wallpaper: on Wide 16:9 that is a full HD frame. For a big projector or a print, take Full size.
6 photo collage: common questions
Short answers about putting six photos in one image.
In two rows of three, every cell the same size. That is the Even template, and it is what this page opens on.
The order runs like reading: top row left to right, then the bottom row.
Landscape, almost always. Six photos sit in three columns, and a landscape frame keeps those columns wide enough for faces and scenery.
On a portrait or story frame, use Mosaic instead of Even so the cells are not all thin columns.
Yes. Pick Big top, and the first photo in the strip becomes a panorama across the top with the other five in a row underneath.
On Landscape 4:3 the five small cells are close to a portrait photo's shape, so people fit in them well.
Set the Collage shape to Wide 16:9 and export at 1080p, which gives a full HD image that fills a widescreen slide edge to edge.
For a 4K screen, export at Full size instead.
Pick six from the same day or the same light, and mix close-ups with wider shots across each row.
A line colour taken from the photos helps too. Open Lines and set Line colour to a shade they share.
Yes. Open Lines and turn on Around the edge, and the line between the photos wraps around the outside too.
The Thickness slider sets both, and Line colour changes them together.
Six photos. Two rows. One file.
