Merge Images

Merge images into one picture without uploading them. Pick a row, a column or a grid, set the spacing and the background, and watch the result before you save it. The awkward part of joining pictures is that they are rarely the same size, so this page makes you choose what happens: leave every picture at its own size and fill the gaps with the background, or scale the bigger ones down to match the smallest. It never enlarges anything.

Need to trim a picture before joining it? Crop Image cuts it to size. Making a flyer rather than a collage? Try the Poster Maker.

Your files

Every picture is drawn at its own pixel size and centred; the space left over is filled with the background colour. Nothing is resampled.

The larger pictures are scaled down until the shared edge matches the smallest picture. Nothing is ever scaled up.

    What this tool does for you

    The parts worth knowing before you start.

    You choose what happens when sizes do not match

    When you merge images of different sizes, two choices are on the page: keep every picture at its own pixel size and pad the shortfall with the background colour, or shrink the larger ones until the edge that matters lines up. Which one you picked shows in the result.

    A preview you can rearrange

    When you merge images in your browser, the result is drawn before you export it, with arrows to move a picture earlier or later. Change the spacing or the background and it redraws as you type.

    Transparency does not get painted over

    Tick the transparent background and the result is a PNG with the gaps still see-through. Feed it any PNG or WebP and the result is a PNG, so an image with soft edges keeps them.

    Big pictures, no upload queue

    Four 6000 × 4000 photos is a 100 MB upload on a site that works by uploading. Here you merge images in your browser and nothing leaves the tab, so the only cost is the second or two your own machine spends drawing.

    How to use Merge Images

    Choose two or more images you want to merge. They join in the order they are listed.

    Pick a row, a column or a grid, then the spacing, the background and what to do about different sizes.

    Press Start to merge images in your browser, rearrange if you want to, and download the result.

    When people use it

    A before and after in one picture

    Two photos side by side say the thing that two separate attachments never quite do.

    Several screenshots for one bug report

    Merge images into one the reader can scroll through, rather than five they have to open one at a time.

    A grid of photos for a listing

    Marketplaces that only accept one picture per item, and you have six angles of the thing.

    Questions about Merge Images

    What happens when my pictures are different sizes?

    You decide. "Keep original size" draws every picture at its own pixel dimensions, centres the smaller ones in the space and fills the rest with your background colour. "Shrink to match" scales the larger pictures down until the shared edge (height in a row, width in a column) is the same as the smallest picture. Nothing is ever scaled up.

    What file type do I get?

    PNG if any of the pictures you gave it was a PNG or a WebP, or if you asked for a transparent background. Otherwise JPEG, written at quality 92.

    Can I change the order?

    Yes, in the preview. Each picture in the list has arrows to move it earlier or later, and the result redraws immediately.

    Is there a limit on how many, or how big?

    Not from us. The page caps the result at 16,384 pixels on a side and a hundred million pixels in total, a size every major browser can draw. If your combination would cross that line, the page scales it down to fit and tells you it did. It does not hand you an empty picture.

    Are the pictures uploaded when I merge images?

    No. There is no server. You merge images in your browser from the files on your own disk.

    How do I merge images into one picture?

    Add the pictures, choose a row, a column or a grid, and set the spacing and the background colour. Then decide what happens to pictures of different sizes: keep each one at its own size and fill the gaps with the background, or scale the bigger ones down to match the smallest. The preview shows the merged image before you save it, and it downloads as a single combined file. The images are merged in your browser and never uploaded.

    How many pictures per row can a grid have?

    Choose Grid as the layout and a Pictures per row box appears. It takes 2 to 10 and starts at 3. Every cell in the grid is the size of the largest picture, or of the smallest one if you chose to shrink the larger ones to match, and each picture is centred in its cell. Spacing can be set from 0 to 400 pixels. The finished image downloads as combined.png or combined.jpg, depending on which format it was written in.
