Click a design to open it directly in the collage maker and fill it with your own photos.

Number Collage for a Milestone Birthday – 40 Made from Photos

Dozens of small photos form the number, with a saying above and below – here, “A Swabian only gets wise at 40” in a chalk-style font. Whether 30, 40, 50, or 60, any number from 0 to 9999 can be filled with photos from every stage of life.

Their Name and Age Made from Photos

Their name and age made from photos, paired with “Wishing you a wonderful birthday” in a script font – each letter and digit is filled with pictures. The text and numbers template lets you freely combine both, so “Happy Birthday” or “Happy 18th Birthday” work too.

Grid Collage with Birthday Wishes and Messages

A grid of favorite moments, with “Happy Birthday …” above and their name below. Our tip for group gifts: Have each guest hold up a sign with a birthday wish or a “reason we love you” for the camera – the grid holds up to 225 photos. Printed as a poster, the collage can double as a guest book at the party.

Shipping Options

Shipping Method: Standard

We aim to use our resources as efficiently and eco-friendly as possible, so it takes up to three business days to produce your picture. After that, the picture will be shipped via standard delivery the next day. The shipping time by the delivery service usually takes between one to five business days (for bulky goods, such as large canvas/acrylic/Dibond formats).

Like with standard shipping, we aim to optimize production capacities for express shipping and minimize excessive waste and constant switching between different product types. Therefore, we allow up to three business days for production. After production, the picture is shipped express and should arrive the next day. The costs are passed directly to you without any markup.
Note: Express shipping is unfortunately not available for certain products – you can see if it is available in the cart.

With Priority Express, or express production, we pause ongoing production for a product type and prioritize your picture for same-day production (if the order is received before 8:00 AM). As this interrupts our workflow, it incurs a significant additional effort for us. This effort is charged with an express production surcharge. After production, your picture is express shipped and should arrive the next day.
Note: Priority Express shipping is unfortunately not available for certain products – you can see if it is available in the cart.

Payment Options

We make payment easy. Choose from a wide range of payment options, including payment by invoice, PayPal, credit card, and more. Our shop requires no registration or customer account. Pay in just a few clicks, and we'll start producing your personalized artwork.

Birthday Photo Collage FAQ

Any number from 0 to 9999 – an age for a milestone birthday, a birth year, or two years stacked one above the other. With the number with many photos template, dozens of photos fill each digit. The text and numbers template works with fewer photos and lets you add letters to spell out a name.

It depends on the template: The heart templates use up to 38 photos, the grid holds up to 225 photos, and with the number with many photos template, you choose how many photos to use per digit. If you have fewer pictures, try text and numbers, the large center photo layout, or the milestone template.

Yes. Have a link to the collage emailed to you and forward it to others. That way, everyone can upload their own photos – from a computer or directly from a phone, including HEIC photos from an iPhone. Perfect for a group gift where every guest contributes a picture or a birthday wish.

Most templates have room for text above and below the collage – “Happy Birthday,” “Happy 50th,” or a personal message. You choose the font, font size, and color. The Polaroid- or retro-style grid also has room below each photo for a line of text, such as a date or a name.

The delivery estimate above shows when your collage will arrive if you order today. With Priority Express shipping, it can arrive within two business days for an additional fee, if your order is placed before 8 a.m. You can see whether Priority Express is available for your product in the shopping cart.
