How to choose a collage layout
Count your clips and photos
Each layout has a fixed number of cells, shown on its preview. If you select Add photos and videos without choosing one, the maker picks a layout that suits how many items you chose. Have more items than cells? The extras stay in the project and fill in when you switch to a layout with more cells. Have fewer? The empty cells wait for one more.
Match the layout to where you post
Tall formats suit stacks, the 2 × 3 grid, polaroids and film strips; Landscape suits Side by side, the 3 × 2 grid, Film reel and Polaroid row. Pick a format above the previews to redraw every layout at that size. A layout made for another format still works, and its preview says which format it was designed for (for example Best in 16:9). For posting tips, see the Instagram Story collage maker and the Instagram post collage maker.
Pick by the job the collage has to do
Comparing two clips? Use a split screen or a labelled before and after. Talking over a clip or reacting to it? Picture in picture puts your face in a corner or a bubble. Recapping a trip or a year? A video grid or a mosaic fits many moments at once, and the film strip reads like a memory reel. All photos? Polaroids make a good photo collage, saved as a JPG or PNG if nothing moves.
Make it yours
A template is only a starting point. In the editor, Gaps between cells, Border around the edge and Rounded corners in the Style tab change the spacing, and the background can be a Colour, a Gradient or a Blur. Drag one cell onto another to swap them, and turn on Show one by one in the Timing tab to bring the cells in one at a time.

Questions about collage templates
Can I mix photos and videos in one template?
Yes. Every cell takes either a clip or a photo, in any mix. Clips play inside their cells and photos stay on screen, with an optional slow zoom. The Best with filter only suggests what each layout shows off best.
Can I change the layout after adding my media?
Yes. Open the Layout tab in the editor and pick another layout, or select View all 35 layouts to browse them with the same filters as this page. Your media keeps its order, and Undo puts the previous layout back.
Do any templates add text?
The Magazine layouts start with a title (such as “The weekend” or “SUMMER”) and the Before and after layouts add Before and After labels. They are ordinary text layers: edit, move or delete them in the Text tab.
Which template works best for Instagram Stories and Reels?
Choose Story 9:16, then a layout made for it. Two stacked, the 2 × 3 grid, Polaroid trio and Film strip are good starting points. The Safe zones button in the editor’s top bar shows where Instagram and TikTok put their own buttons, so faces and text stay clear.
