Try this in the collage editorForget wrestling with Paint or hunting for software — your Windows browser plus your Pictures folder is everything you need. This guide walks through making a polished collage on any Windows 10 or 11 PC.
Step by step
Gather the right photos
Select images that suit windows collage creation, ideally with consistent lighting and orientation.
Open the editor
Start from a recommended preset or a blank canvas — no download or sign-up.
Arrange and crop
Reorder photos, set each focal point and choose the aspect ratio.
Refine the finish
Adjust spacing, corners, borders and background until it feels intentional.
Export and reuse
Download PNG, JPEG and WebP at the size you need and repeat the process any time.
Make it in your browser
Open the collage editor in Edge or Chrome and add photos from your Pictures folder or any directory. Choose 4 to 12 favorites first — arranging goes far faster with a shortlist.
Pick a layout for your photo count, place each picture and adjust crops so faces stay centered. Preview at full size on your monitor before exporting.
Confirm the file type and download location
A photo visible in an image application may still be stored as an unsupported format. Use a JPEG, PNG or WebP source instead of renaming the file extension. After exporting, check the browser's download list and open the image in your usual viewer. If a work device blocks downloads, review its browser policy rather than assuming the collage was saved.
Check the saved image in your file viewer
Choose four local photographs, use an equal grid and download a PNG. Open it through the browser's download list to check both the file and the crops.
