Quick answer

The most common Collage printing questions are format, quality, permissions, batch failures and privacy. Print collages need 300dpi, bleed and expect darker colors than screen.

Why it matters

Checking these high-frequency issues solves most cases.

Calculate pixels from the final physical size.

Step by step

  1. Decide the use/ratio: social square, vertical Story or print.
  2. Pick 2-9 photos with clear subjects and consistent color/exposure.
  3. Choose layout/spacing so faces/subjects are not cropped.
  4. Export 1200px+ PNG/JPG and check edges/margins.
  5. Clear likeness/image rights and privacy before posting.

Common mistakes

  • Nine mismatched color grades in one grid look chaotic.
  • Zero gap leaves subjects touching/cropped at edges.
  • Upscaling low-resolution photos makes them blurry.
  • Using unlicensed people/photos for commercial promotion.

Checklist

  • Ratio matches platform/print.
  • Photo count fits the cells.
  • Faces/subjects intact with sensible gaps.
  • Resolution is sufficient, no compression artifacts.
  • Likeness/image rights and privacy cleared.

Key facts

  • Calculate pixels from the final physical size.
  • Print a proof first.
