Make a Photo Collage or Instagram Carousel
Photobun's free collage maker starts from ready-made layouts for Facebook multi-photo posts and Instagram carousels. Each photo slot is its own board, so a picture can stay in one slot or run across several to create a seamless panorama carousel, and every board exports as a separate image ready to upload.
How to Make a Photo Collage or Instagram Carousel
- Click Choose a template and pick a layout, such as a Facebook 4-photo grid or a 5-slide Instagram carousel.
- Drop your photos onto the boards; each one moves into the board it lands on.
- Move and scale the photos with Free Transform, and add text or shapes on top.
- For a seamless carousel, set a wide image to Show across boards in the Properties panel.
- Export all boards at once; each one becomes its own image.
Facebook multi-photo layouts
2 photos side by side or stacked, 3 photos (1 top + 2 or 1 left + 2), 4 photos (grid or 1 top + 3) and 5 photos (2 + 3), laid out like the final post.
Instagram carousels
Templates for 3 portrait slides, 5 square slides and 10 portrait slides at 1080 px wide, plus single posts, stories and reels.
Seamless panoramas
One image can span several boards. Each board exports only its own slice, so the picture flows from one swipe to the next.
Exact export sizes
Boards are created at platform sizes such as 1080 × 1080, 1080 × 1350 and 1080 × 1920, so there are no cropping surprises after upload.
A collage built from separate boards behaves differently from one flattened picture: every slide is exported at the exact size the platform expects, and you can still adjust each photo on its own, apply the same filter to all of them or rearrange them before export.
A carousel opener that continues past the right edge invites people to swipe, which is why panoramas and split designs work so well as a first slide. Keep faces and important text away from the seams between slides.
Beyond social posts, the same tools make printable collages: an A4 or A5 board at 300 ppi, with rulers and guides in centimetres or millimetres to line everything up.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a seamless Instagram carousel?
Pick a carousel template, place one wide image across the boards and set that layer to Show across boards in the Properties panel. When you export, each board becomes one slide containing its part of the image.
What is the Facebook grid trick?
Facebook arranges multi-photo posts in a fixed grid. If you upload images cut from one design at the right sizes, the post looks like a single large picture. Photobun's Facebook templates are laid out like that grid.
Can I put a different photo in each frame?
Yes. Drop photos onto the boards one by one; each photo moves into the board it's dropped on, and you can scale it to fill the frame.
Is there a watermark?
No. Exports are clean, full-size images. The editor is free, and the ads on the website can be removed with a one-time US$1 purchase.
