How to make a photo grid

Showcase your body of work effectively

Present your skills and products in the best light through an orderly photo grid. Featuring angular and consistent dimensions, this kind of photo collage gives viewers a clear overview of what you offer. The clean presentation lets viewers focus on the pictures without distracting elements and overwhelming details.

Our photo grid maker guides you in creating a polished composition of images. By using any of our free, ready-made templates, you’ll easily create an online photo grid that fits your branding and visual identity. Find the right color palette, theme, and style in our template gallery and make a photo grid that you’ll be proud to showcase to anyone.

A visual story to captivate your audience

In a saturated market, it’s not enough for products to be good; they have to be memorable and recognizable, too. So make a photo grid that will do the visual storytelling work for you. Our photo grid maker helps you arrange your images in a way that tells the story of your brand.

Apart from providing you with easy-to-edit layouts, our templates help you build a cohesive narrative flow from image to image. Arrange, resize, and crop photos to create dynamic tension. Alternate between pictures of details, wide shots, and those with plenty of negative space. Use filters to enhance the photos, blur backgrounds(opens in a new tab or window) or adjust the color saturation of each image. You can even fill a grid square with a block of color from your palette for a simple but striking effect.

Take control of the details

When you create an online photo grid, it doesn’t have to be a bare collection of images. Layer elements that help tell your brand’s story better. Add short bits of text within or across select squares. Follow any of our suggested font combinations or experiment with your choice of font style and color pairings. Look through our media library for understated details, like lines and icons, that you can incorporate into the layout.

You can access all of these design possibilities with a free Canva account, but you can unlock even more when you go Pro. Explore more templates, discover more font styles, and find more graphics you can use not only when making photo grids, but every design project on Canva.
