Hundreds of photos on your phone and nothing on the wall. A photo collage poster is the easiest way to bring your memories back into view, and one of the most popular gifts for birthdays, anniversaries and the holidays.

In short
  • Photos from your phone are enough; you crop each one in our designer.
  • The wave collage holds the most photos (12), the photo letter the fewest (3).
  • You see designer collages in the live preview right away, before you order.
  • Every design comes in 8x10, 12x16 and 18x24 in, unframed or framed.

How many photos do you have?

The heart, Lucky Us and polaroids

These three collages are chosen most often. The heart of 11 photos, with the most important one in the middle and a quote underneath. Lucky Us: 8 photos in a grid with a heart and big lettering. Polaroids: 7 photos scattered as if on a table, with your message on the middle one.

A whole year in 12 photos

Twelve photos separated by soft, wavy lines like puzzle pieces, one for each month. You set how strong or gentle the waves are, the width of the gaps and the background color. Photos can be in color or black and white.

Collage with keepsakes

For anyone who wants more than photos. The Matchbox is a flat-lay style collage: photos on a camera, a polaroid, a record and a postcard, surrounded by matches with important dates. The Memory box gathers photos on film strips, notes with the date of your first date, and your song.

A story, year by year

The timeline is a collage with order: six photos, each with a year and a short caption underneath. From the day you met to today, or from your grandparents' wedding to the grandkids. A great gift for an anniversary or a milestone birthday.

Questions and answers

How many photos fit in a collage?

From 3 (the photo letter) to 12 (the wave collage). The heart holds 11 photos, Lucky Us and Winning pair 8 each, the polaroids 7.

Are phone photos good enough?

Yes. Choose sharp, well-lit shots. We print them exactly as you upload and arrange them in the designer.

What size collage should I choose?

The more photos, the bigger the size. Collages with 8-12 photos look best at 12x16 or 18x24 in; smaller ones fit nicely at 8x10 in.

Birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's Day, Christmas, Mother's Day and Father's Day, or as a year in review. For holiday delivery, order by December 10.
