Balance a pair of photographs

The two panels start with equal space. Match the size of faces or products in each crop, then use the gap to separate the images without making them feel disconnected.

Pair an establishing landscape with a portrait from the same trip. The lavender background and rounded corners are editable starting settings.

This template is built for 2 photos. It works best for pairs, comparisons, before and after, where the viewer needs to understand the relationship between the images quickly.

How to use this template

  1. Add JPG, PNG or WebP photographs to the editor above. The template settings are already selected.
  2. Arrange your photographs in the desired order, then adjust each crop and focal position.
  3. Check the canvas ratio, spacing and background. Adding more photos than a fixed layout holds changes it to an adaptive grid.
  4. Choose PNG, JPEG or WebP, review the export dimensions, and download your collage.

Use a styled pair without forcing the crop

The template supplies the background and spacing as well as the two-panel arrangement. Begin with two photographs that have a clear relationship: the same subject at two times, two product angles, or a place and a person within it.

Compare the panel shapes with the original photos. When too much of a landscape disappears in a tall cell, change the ratio or try a stacked pair. Reducing the gap does not recover content lost to an unsuitable crop.

Compare related layouts

A layout changes the arrangement. Use these alternatives when you want different emphasis or a different number of panels.

Read the photo collage guide for crop and export advice.

Review the download before sharing

Open the downloaded image at the size it will be viewed. Check the smallest panel, the edges of faces and the space around the main subject. Export size cannot restore detail lost in a small source photograph or a heavy crop.

Standard, High and Print use 1600, 2400 and 3600 pixels on the longest edge. Save the result before closing the tab. The download is a flattened image, and the preset URL does not save your photos or editing history.
