Commemorate Cozy Family Moments with a Photo Collage

Upload and edit your treasury of family photos

A great family photo collage spans generations, and we’re up for the task. Whether your photos are digital or scans from old, yellowed scrapbooks, its easy to upload your whole collection to Canva and create a design that mirrors the structure of a genogram⁠(opens in a new tab or window) while you get busy cropping.

You can even take advantage of our photo editing tools⁠(opens in a new tab or window) to make sure every image appears with bright, crisp colors. With a simple slider, you can intensify the saturation, adjust the contrast, and balance the highlights and shadows. Even if you have photos from different years, taken in different lighting conditions, you can make them all look consistent.

Are the photos from yesteryear looking a little dull? No problem—use Auto Enhance⁠(opens in a new tab or window) to instantly make them look vibrant. If the shots are a little out of focus, the Auto Focus feature offers a quick solution. You can even remove backgrounds with Canva Pro’s background remover.⁠(opens in a new tab or window)

Is your family a little silly? Try adorning your collage with stickers and illustrations. Browse our vast collection of over 1 million stock photos, illustrations, and graphic elements for jaunty hats and speech bubbles to add to your collage. Plenty of design elements are available for free and premium photos are offered at a very competitive price, so you can slap a slogan on Great Uncle Herbert without breaking the bank.
