Side by side vs. stacked
You can arrange your two photos two ways. The default side-by-side (2 horizontal) layout places them left and right, which suits a wide 3:2 landscape canvas and pairs of portrait shots. Prefer them one above the other? Switch to the stacked (2 vertical) layout to put one photo on top and one on the bottom — a better fit for tall phone photos or wide landscape shots. Both layouts let you fine-tune the gap between the photos, the padding around the edges, the corner radius, and the background color until the pairing looks right.
Great uses for a 2-photo collage
Combining two pictures into one is handy in plenty of situations. A before-and-after pair works well stacked or side by side for renovations, fitness progress, haircuts, or restorations. Couples and friends photos sit nicely next to each other for a quick share. And comparisons — two products, two outfits, two design options — read instantly when the images line up edge to edge. Because the tool only arranges photos in a clean grid, there is no clutter: just two clear pictures in one frame.
Frequently asked questions
How do I put two photos side by side?
Use the maker above, which is preset to a two-cell side-by-side layout. Click the left cell to add your first photo and the right cell to add the second, adjust the spacing and background if you like, then download the combined image.
Can I stack the two photos vertically instead?
Yes. Switch to the 2-vertical layout to stack one photo on top of the other instead of placing them side by side. The two cells then sit top and bottom, which is handy for tall phone photos or before-and-after shots.
