How to Combine or Merge Images Online

1. Upload images to the image combiner

Click "Add Images" to open the file picker, drag photos onto the page, or paste from the clipboard with Ctrl+V (⌘V on Mac). JPG, PNG, WEBP, and GIF are all supported. There is no upload step. Every image stays in your browser, which makes loading instant even for large batches.

2. Choose a layout to combine your photos

Horizontal works for two or three images shown side by side. Vertical suits longer sequences like step-by-step screenshots. Grid is the right choice for four or more images and lets you set the number of columns. Free mode lets you drag images anywhere on the canvas and resize each one. You can switch layouts at any time without losing the edits you have already made.

3. Reorder and edit individual pictures

Work directly on the preview: drag an image onto another to swap their positions, or click an image for a small toolbar with rotate, flip, duplicate, and remove. Undo and redo cover every step, so you can iterate quickly without committing to anything.

4. Customize the look of your combined image

Adjust spacing to control how tightly the images sit together, add a border with a custom color, set a background color, or apply rounded corners. For collages where consistency matters, set a fixed aspect ratio (1:1, 16:9, 9:16, and more) so the final image fits a specific platform without being cropped on upload.

Image Combiner FAQ

Is this an image merger, photo joiner, or image combiner?

All of them - the names describe the same thing. Whether you call it merging images, combining pictures, joining photos, or stitching images together into one, this tool takes multiple images and merges them into a single picture: side by side, stacked vertically, in a grid collage, or arranged freely. The merged image downloads as one JPG, PNG, or WebP file.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Image Combiner runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and the HTML5 Canvas. Your photos are never sent to our servers or any third party, and they never leave your device. This is also why the tool feels almost instant. There is no network round trip waiting on a remote upload or download.

What image formats does the image combiner support?

You can upload JPG, PNG, WEBP, and GIF (the first frame is used for animated GIFs). The combined image can be exported as JPEG, PNG, or WebP. Choose PNG or WebP if you need to preserve transparency; choose JPEG for the smallest file size at high visual quality.

What is the difference between the image combiner sizing modes?

Original preserves each image at its native size. Magnify enlarges smaller images to match the largest in the set, which can soften low-resolution sources. Reduce scales the largest down to match the smallest, which is the safest default for mixed dimensions because it never enlarges anything. Crop trims from the center to a uniform size, which produces a perfectly even grid but discards content at the edges.

How do I combine two photos into one?

Add your two images, select the horizontal layout to place them side by side in one frame (or vertical to stack them), and set spacing to zero. Use "Reduce" or "Crop" mode so both halves end up the same height. For a before/after comparison, a thin border with a contrasting color (white or black usually works well) makes the dividing line clear without dominating the composition.

How do I make a photo collage for Instagram?

Choose the grid layout, set the number of columns to match your photo count (2 columns for 4 images, 3 for 9, and so on), open "More options" and set the aspect ratio to 1:1. The exported image will fit Instagram's feed without being cropped on upload. The Instagram collage guide covers Stories, Reels, and resolution in detail.

Can I merge multiple images at once?

There is no fixed limit, but combining a very large number of high-resolution images can slow your browser down because all of the work happens locally on your device. For more than around 30–40 images, grid layouts handle the count better than horizontal or vertical, and lowering the maximum output dimensions in "More options" helps if you run into memory pressure.

What is the maximum size for the combined image?

The combined image is automatically scaled to fit within 8000 pixels on its longest edge to keep export reliable across browsers. Aspect ratio is always preserved. If you need a smaller file for sharing, set explicit width and height limits in "More options" before downloading.

Does the image combiner work on mobile?

Yes. The interface adapts to phone and tablet screens, and the drag-to-reorder controls, color pickers, and all other features work with touch. Pasting from the clipboard depends on the mobile browser. Safari and Chrome on recent versions both support it.

Can the image combiner export a transparent background?

A transparent background lets the spacing between images become see-through, which is useful when you plan to place the combined image on top of another design in tools like Photoshop, Figma, or Canva. Transparency is only preserved when exporting to PNG or WebP. JPEG does not support it and will fall back to a solid color.

Is this image combiner really free?

Yes. There is no signup, no paid tier, no watermark on exported images, and no limit on how many times you can use it. The site is supported by advertising, which is why you may see ads alongside the tool.
