How-to Guide

Free Image Grid Maker: Combine Photos Into Clean Grids Online (No Signup)

You need an image grid. Not a collage with stickers and filters. Just a clean, evenly spaced grid of images: the kind you'd use for a product comparison, a before/after showcase, or an AI batch upload. MergeFrame is different from Canva (signup required), Fotor (watermark), and PhotoGrid (ads and uploads). It's a free image grid maker that runs entirely in your browser. No signup. No watermark. No upload.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is MergeFrame's image grid maker really free?

Yes, free to use every day, with no account and no watermark. The free plan includes 2 exports per day at up to 4000px; a 24h Pass ($3) or Pro ($7/month) removes the daily limit.

From 2 to 100+ images with custom rows and columns. Beyond 3×3 (9 images), individual images become too small for most use cases.
