Combine Images into a Grid for Your Online Portfolio
A portfolio is your visual résumé. A well-composed grid of project screenshots and process documentation communicates professional caliber instantly: before anyone reads a word.
Try MergeFrame (Free)Whether you're a designer, developer, photographer, or architect, your portfolio grid is often the first thing a client sees. A scattered collection says 'I took screenshots.' A structured grid says 'I am a professional.'
Formats by profession: Designers: 2×2 (light mode, dark mode, mobile, tablet). Developers: Strip of 3 (code → app → metrics). Photographers: 2×3 (portrait, detail, wide, candid, edit, final). Architects: 2×2 (sketch → render → construction → finished).
Add a subtle watermark in the bottom-right corner. Use consistent branding across all grids for a cohesive identity.
