How-to Guide

Merge Photos Into Grids for Photo Books and Albums

Photo book layouts can be limiting — fixed templates, rigid slot counts. Pre-compose your favorite photos into custom grids before uploading, and you control exactly how your memories are arranged on every page.

Photo book services (Shutterfly, Mixbook, Blurb, Snapfish) offer templates, but creative control is limited. A pre-composed grid gives you: (1) custom cell counts — put 6 photos on a page when the template only allows 4, (2) perfect alignment — no template snapping your photos off-center, (3) consistent spacing — uniform gaps that look professionally designed, (4) creative freedom — mix orientations, create diptychs and triptychs on your terms.\n\nPopular photo book grid formats: 2×2 for four related memories on one page, 1×3 for chronological vacation day summaries, 2×3 for wedding photo chapter openers, 1×2 for before-and-after pregnancy/baby growth spreads.\n\nPrint specs: export at 300 DPI — for a 10×10 inch book page, that's 3000×3000px. For 12×12, that's 3600×3600px. Use PNG for quality preservation through the photo book service's compression pipeline. Keep files under 25MB per grid.
