Make a product collage

Even cells and consistent crops, so a set of products looks like a set.

The details

How it works

1. Add the product photos.
2. Use Apply to all so every photo gets the same treatment.
3. Download as a square, with a transparent background if you need one.

A product collage has a different failure mode from a personal one. Nobody minds if a holiday collage has one photo that is warmer than the rest; on a listing it reads as carelessness, and it makes the products look like they came from different places. So the feature that matters most here is not the layout — it is Apply to all, which pushes one adjustment or filter across every photo in a single action.

Even cells are usually right for products, for the opposite reason to a mood board: a set of products is a set, and giving one of them more room implies a hierarchy the listing may not mean. A 2 × 2 or 3 × 3 grid with a generous margin is the arrangement most marketplace images use, and a wide margin is worth keeping because listing images are displayed small and a crowded one turns to mush at thumbnail size.

Square at 2000 × 2000 is the size most marketplaces expect, and it is large enough that a zoomed view still holds up. If the products have been cut out, export as PNG or WebP to keep the transparency — JPG has no alpha channel, and the export sheet disables it rather than silently filling the background with white.

Consistency of crop matters as much as consistency of colour. Products photographed at slightly different distances look mismatched even at identical scale, and the per-cell zoom here can be set once and applied across the set. The face-safety rule that governs personal photos does not apply to a bottle, so the cropping is purely geometric and predictable.

Nothing is uploaded, which for unreleased product photography is a practical consideration rather than a principle. The files never leave the machine they are on, and the export carries no metadata.
