Examples
The details
| Photos supported | up to 200 on a computer, 60 on a phone |
|---|---|
| Templates | 5 family layouts — 4 to 50 photos |
| Best print size for 12+ | A4 or A3 at 300 DPI |
| Face safety | enforced — a crop that would cut a detected face is rejected |
| Mixed shapes | handled per photo — each photo gets a cell close to its own proportions |
| Chronological order | available — from capture time, where the file carries one |
How it works
- Add everything you want to include, from any source.
- Pick a layout — large counts get rows rather than a grid.
- Print at A4 or A3, or export for a group chat.
Family photos are the hardest case a collage tool gets, because they never match. Some are scans, some are from a phone, some are screenshots of a video call, and they span twenty years of camera shapes. Put them in equal squares and half of them are cropped through somebody's head. The layouts here are computed from the actual proportions of the photos you add, so a 4:3 from 2011 and a 4:5 from last week each get a cell that suits them.
Face safety is a hard rule rather than a preference. Faces are detected on your device, and any arrangement that would cut one off is rejected before it is offered — not adjusted afterwards, rejected. That matters most in exactly this case, where photos are often tightly framed portraits with no spare room around the head.
Counts above about twelve want rows rather than a grid. A grid of twenty is twenty small squares of equal importance, which is how a contact sheet looks; rows of unequal length let the good photos be larger and read far better at A3. The engine switches approach as the count rises, and both are available whichever count you have.
If the photos carry capture times, they can be ordered chronologically in one step, which is the usual intent for a family collage covering a period. That information is read from the file on your device and used for ordering only; location data is never read at all, and nothing about where a photo was taken is stored or written into the export.
For a printed family collage, A4 at 300 DPI is the practical starting point and A3 is worth it above about twenty photos. The resolution meter shows which photos will print soft, which for family sets is usually the scans and the screenshots, and it tells you before you pay for the print rather than after.
Questions
How many photos can I put in a family collage?
Up to 200 on a computer and up to 60 on a phone. Above about twelve the layouts switch from grids to rows of unequal length, which keeps faces large enough to see.
Will old scanned photos look wrong next to phone photos?
They will be a different shape, and the layout accounts for that by giving each photo a cell close to its own proportions rather than cropping everything to match.
Can I put the photos in date order?
Yes, where the files carry a capture time. That is read on your device and used only for ordering.
What size should I print a family collage at?
A4 at 300 DPI up to about twelve photos, A3 above that. The editor shows the effective resolution for each photo at the size you picked.
Are my family photos uploaded anywhere?
No. They are opened by this browser tab and never leave your device. You can check by turning on airplane mode and using it anyway.
