- Click any cell (or drag and drop) to add a picture from your device.
- Adjust the spacing between cells, outer padding, corner roundness, and background color so every photo sits evenly.
- Download as PNG, JPG or WebP when you are happy. Everything stays on your device — nothing is uploaded.
Grid sizes — 2×2, 3×3, 4×4
A photo grid is simply a square arrangement of equal cells. The maker offers three square layouts: a 2×2 grid for four photos, a 3×3 grid for nine (the classic picture grid), and a 4×4 grid for up to sixteen. Because the canvas is square (1:1), each cell stays the same size, which keeps the whole grid balanced. Start at 3×3 if you are not sure — it is the most popular and works well for a set of related shots.
Tips for clean grids
For a crisp result, use equal spacing between every cell rather than crowding some photos and leaving gaps elsewhere — a small, consistent gap (around 6–12 px in the preview) looks tidiest. Keep a consistent background color, such as white or a soft neutral, so the spacing reads as one clean frame. A little outer padding and a slight corner radius can soften the grid without distracting from the photos. When the layout looks balanced, download as PNG for sharp edges, JPG for a smaller file, or WebP for the best size-to-quality balance.
