FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Creating Photo Collages
My friend loves my collage so much that she wants to order the same one. Can someone else order the image I created as well?
Yes, you can use a special order link that you can share with others. Using this link, someone else can order your collage. To get the link, simply go to the Order page. There you will see the images you have created. At the top, you will find a small link button. When you click it, a small window appears where you can view and copy the link. When someone opens this link, the image will appear under their created images, and they can order it in various sizes and materials.
Where can I see how large the individual photos will be?
On the order page, you can add your created photo collage to the cart in various sizes. There, you have the option to use the “i” icon to display the exact size of each photo in centimeters. This allows you to make sure that every image is printed in the desired size.
Which image formats (JPEG, PNG, JPG, GIF, HEIC) can I use for my photo collages?
Our web app supports a wide range of image formats, so you can design your photo collages with maximum flexibility and creativity. You can upload photos in JPEG, PNG, JPG, GIF, and HEIC formats.
For images in PNG format, transparency is preserved. This allows you to create effects and overlays with transparent backgrounds that make your collage even more unique.
We also provide full support for HEIC files – a format used primarily by newer Apple devices. This ensures that even high-resolution photos from iPhones and iPads can be integrated into your projects without any issues, without requiring prior conversion.
How can I choose a template for my photo collage?
Click on »Templates« and choose one of our many preconfigured designs. Whether you want a simple grid, a wild arrangement, a heart shape, text, or numbers, anything is possible.
Add custom text to your photo collage and easily choose the format and number of images.
How do my photos get into the photo collage?
You can upload images for your photo collage directly in the designer from your computer or phone using the »Upload« button. When uploading your photos, you can also select multiple images at once.
By clicking on an empty image within the photo collage, you can also upload an image, which will then be placed there immediately.
Using »Delete all images«, you can easily remove the uploaded images again.
How can I adjust my photos?
Is the image upside down? By clicking on the uploaded image, you can easily rotate it into the correct position using the »Rotate« function.
Does an individual uploaded image not fit into the photo collage? Simply remove the image by clicking the »Delete« button in the designer's upload box.
You can define the image crop by clicking and carefully dragging within
an image in your photo collage.
The image crop can also be enlarged:
To do this, click on the photo. In the popup, you can then use the plus or minus magnifier
to zoom in or out on the photo.
Can I create multiple collages and switch between them?
Yes. At the top of the toolbar you'll find the project switcher. It lets you create several collages as separate projects and switch between them at any time – each collage has its own photos and settings.
Using »New project« you start a fresh, empty collage; your existing collages remain fully intact. You can also give your projects their own names to tell them apart easily.
How can I automatically assign images to my photo collage?
By clicking on »Place → place randomly«, you can distribute your uploaded images randomly across the photo collage. This will fill all placeholders in the photo collage.
Your photos on the collage can be arranged alphabetically by (file) name in ascending or descending order by clicking »Place → sort by name«.
If you click »Place → sort by capture date« in the designer, your photos on the collage will be arranged by capture date (from the camera). This lets you organize images chronologically, for example.
By clicking on »Clear«, you can remove all images that have already been placed from the photo collage, for example to assign them manually again.
Can the photos also be placed manually?
Using »click and drag« with the mouse, you can place the photos from the upload box into the desired position in your photo collage.
Within the photo collage, you can rearrange the images by »clicking and dragging«, for example moving them from bottom to top.
Each photo in the upload box has a small circle with a number. This shows how many times the image has already been used in the photo collage. If the circle is red and shows zero, the image has not yet been used in the collage.
Which effects (backgrounds, colors) can I apply, and how?
In the »Design« section, you will find many options to customize your photo collage. Here, for example, you can choose backgrounds from a large selection or set a color of your choice.
With the »Opacity« slider, you can determine how transparent the photos on the collage should be. This allows you to create interesting overlay effects.
Use the »Border« option to add a frame to the photos. Here you can also define the thickness and color of the frame.
You can also apply individual effects to each photo in your collage, such as black and white, sepia, or other filters.
