Join images side by side or in a vertical strip

Join several still images into a single picture, for example to show a sequence or two different views together. Arrange them horizontally side by side or vertically one below another.

How it works

  1. Select 2 to 20 still images in the order you want.

  2. Choose the direction, output format, quality and maximum edge length.

  3. Check the combined image for order, empty areas and sufficiently large details.

Useful next steps

Reduce image size with quality and dimension settingsAdjust a still image's format, quality and maximum edge length for a smaller file. Compare size and detail rather than expecting a fixed percentage reduction.
Convert a still image to JPG, PNG or WebPConvert one still image to JPG, PNG or WebP. Set quality and maximum edge length, then review transparency and colours in the result.
Convert JPG and PNG images to PDFBring JPG and PNG images together in a PDF. Check the image order and review the generated pages before downloading.

Account for different source dimensions

Images are initially joined at their existing sizes. A horizontal strip aligns them at the top, while a vertical strip aligns them on the left. Individual pictures are not stretched to a shared height or width. Differently sized sources can therefore leave empty areas. PNG and WebP can keep those areas transparent, while JPG displays them in white.

Plan the total image area

The complete canvas is checked before any later size reduction: it must stay within 40 megapixels and 20,000 pixels per edge. Several high-resolution photographs can quickly exceed this limit. Reduce their sizes first when necessary. Input files may total up to 25 MB. If every source should remain a separate document page, use images to PDF instead.

Frequently asked questions

Does the output contain multiple pages?

No. The result is one shared image canvas. Use images to PDF for a multipage document.

Will individual pictures be distorted?

They are joined without individual stretching. A later maximum-edge limit reduces the complete result proportionally.
