How-to Guide
Merge Screenshots into a Grid for Reddit Posts
Reddit communities love visual proof. A single screenshot is good. A grid showing before/after, comparison, or step-by-step reproduction proves your point and earns upvotes.
Try MergeFrame — FreeReddit's image handling: one image per post (unless using native gallery, not always allowed). A merged grid shows multiple screenshots in a single upload.
Formats by subreddit: Tech support — 1×3 (error → what you tried → settings). Battlestations — 2×2 (wide shot → detail → cable management → lighting). DIY — 1×3 (materials → in-progress → finished). Gaming — 2×2 (settings → FPS → gameplay → build).
Reddit shows images up to 960px wide. Export at 1920px for sharp high-DPI. Reddit converts to WebP — overcompensate with higher source resolution.
