Heart-Shaped Collage Ideas and Alternatives
A heart silhouette needs a shaped mask or individually positioned photos. This editor does not provide either control. You can make a romantic rectangular collage here, or use another design tool when the heart outline is essential.
Choose the shape before spending time on crops. A blush background and couple portraits can make a personal keepsake, but they do not turn rectangular cells into a heart. The editor below opens the Valentine's template as an explicitly rectangular alternative.

When the heart outline matters
Use a tool with an actual heart-shaped mask. Check its preview for trimmed faces, hands and text near the outline. Keep copies of the original photos so you can reposition them rather than working from an already flattened collage.
A larger collection needs careful selection: fill smaller areas with simple details and give portraits enough room. There is no universal photo count that guarantees a readable silhouette; the shape and final display size determine what fits.
A rectangular keepsake you can make here
Start with a portrait that describes the relationship, then add a shared place and a small detail. The Valentine's template applies a blush background and hero-top arrangement. Change spacing and background to suit your sources; no hearts, captions or stickers are added.
Use Fit whole photo for sources whose edges matter and square corners to preserve them. Export one PNG, JPEG or WebP image. If you take that image into another application for masking, inspect its final crop again before sharing or printing.
Decide whether the outline is essential
If the gift depends on a recognizable heart silhouette, choose a tool that actually supports masking before arranging the photos. If the photographs and message matter more than the outline, the rectangular template here is a workable alternative. Keep the distinction clear when describing or sharing the result.
