Merge Images Into Banner & Header Grids — Free Online Tool

Banners and headers need to communicate a lot in a wide, narrow space. A merged image grid lets you pack multiple visuals — products, team photos, or campaign imagery — into one banner file that fits any platform's cover dimensions.

Banner and header images are the most visually constrained format on the web — wide aspect ratios with limited vertical space mean every pixel must work hard. A single hero image in a banner often fails to communicate the breadth of a brand, product line, or campaign. A merged banner grid solves this by combining multiple images into one wide composition that fills the banner space with varied, compelling content. The most effective banner grid configurations: a 1×4 horizontal strip for website headers — four product angles, four team headshots, or four campaign visuals arranged in a panoramic strip that spans the full content width. A 2×4 grid for email headers — eight product thumbnails or eight event photos that create a visual tapestry above the email body copy. A 1×3 strip for social media cover photos — three key visuals that communicate your brand's range at a glance. For LinkedIn company pages, a 1×3 banner at 1584×396px shows three facets of your business: team, product, and culture. For Twitter/X headers, a 1×4 strip at 1500×500px creates a panoramic brand story. For website hero sections, a 1×3 or 1×4 grid at 1920×600px fills the banner without requiring complex CSS image galleries. The key to effective banner grids is consistent image height: crop all source images to the same pixel height before importing so the banner row is perfectly uniform. Use 0–4px spacing for seamless banner aesthetics, and export at exactly your target platform's cover dimensions to avoid cropping or scaling artifacts. MergeFrame's local processing keeps pre-launch campaign visuals and unreleased product photos secure until go-live.

How to Do It — Step by Step

  1. 1

    Crop source images to matching height

    Consistent height is critical for banner uniformity. Crop all photos to the same pixel height before importing.

  2. 2

    Open mergeframe.com, choose wide layout

    1×4 for panoramic banners. 2×4 for dense email headers. Match your banner dimensions.

  3. 3

    Arrange left to right by priority

    Most important visual first. Build a narrative that scans naturally in left-to-right reading direction.

  4. 4

    Set minimal spacing for seamless look

    0–4px spacing. Banners look best when images blend into a continuous visual strip.

  5. 5

    Export at exact platform dimensions

    LinkedIn: 1584×396px. Twitter: 1500×500px. Website hero: 1920×600px. Upload directly.
