Combine Photos into a Grid for Google Gemini Analysis

Gemini accepts large, mixed inputs, but structured image inputs are still the practical way to send it a set of related images. A pre-composed grid gives you one image, one layout, and a fixed position for every panel.

Gemini accepts many images in one prompt, but one composed grid is easier to describe and to check: the arrangement is visible in the file, and you can name each cell in your prompt.

Gemini-specific tips: (1) Larger grids work well: 3×3 or 4×4 without detail loss. Export 3000–4000px. (2) Strong cross-modal reasoning: combine chart + photo + text description in Strip of 3. (3) Google Drive integration: build grid in MergeFrame, upload to Drive, reference directly in Gemini.

Gemini handles mixed-content grids beautifully. A 2×2 with photo + screenshot + chart + text box is no problem. Ideal for research synthesis and multi-source analysis.

For automated Google Sheets + Gemini workflows: build comparison grids, upload to Drive, use Apps Script to feed to Gemini API for batch analysis.
