Quick answer

Collage copyright is the core object here; understand the problem it solves before choosing a tool or workflow. A collage is not automatically original: every photo/font/asset may be copyrighted.

Why it matters

Without the concept, format, permission or compatibility issues are easily misread as tool failures.

Commercial use needs permission.

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

  • Commercial use needs permission.
  • Don't remove watermarks.
