Quick answer
To handle Collage export, confirm the input/format and output requirements, then follow the steps and verify the result. Export PNG/JPG and resolution by use: 1200px+ for social, 300dpi for print.
Why it matters
Defining the output first avoids finishing before discovering the format/size/quality is wrong.
PNG suits text/transparency; JPG is smaller.
Step by step
- Decide the use/ratio: social square, vertical Story or print.
- Pick 2-9 photos with clear subjects and consistent color/exposure.
- Choose layout/spacing so faces/subjects are not cropped.
- Export 1200px+ PNG/JPG and check edges/margins.
- 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
- PNG suits text/transparency; JPG is smaller.
- Repeated exports accumulate compression.
