Arrange pictures on an editable canvas

Combine photos with different dimensions and orientations on one editable canvas. Place portrait and landscape images side by side, stack pictures vertically, or position multiple images in the same frame without being limited to a preset layout.


Resize, crop, reposition, and reorder each image individually as you build. Use snap-to-grid and red alignment guides to line up images and keep spacing consistent as you move them around the canvas. Choose a background color, turn it transparent, or add borders to fine-tune how everything fits together before you export.

Combine different image file types

Combine JPEG, PNG, WebP, and other supported image files in the same project without converting them to a matching format first. Upload your images, arrange them together on the canvas, and edit each file in the same workflow.


When you're finished, export the combined image in your preferred image format and adjust compression settings to balance image quality and file size. This makes it easier to work with images from different sources and create a final file suited for sharing, publishing, or storage.

Edit

Export

Keep editing after you combine your images. Enhance image quality, adjust color and brightness, or include text, stickers, shapes, and other visual elements without exporting and reopening your image in another editor.


Use Kapwing’s image editing tools to clean up individual photos or make changes across the finished composition. Add labels to a product comparison, improve photos in a before-and-after image, annotate screenshots, or resize the final image for social media and other platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.

Is the Merge Images tool free?

Yes, Kapwing's Merge Images tool is free for all users. For access to the full range of image and video editing tools, including AI-powered tools, upgrade to a Pro account.

How can I merge two images into one?

The Kapwing Studio is an efficient way to merge two images into one. First, upload the images you want to combine to a new project. Then, use the editor to arrange them as you see fit. Use functions like resize and crop to get it just right. When you’re done, easily export your final project as an image file like JPEG or GIF, or even a video file if you’re making a slideshow or video.

Is there a watermark on exports?

If you use Kapwing on a Free account, then all exports — including the Merge Images tool — contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account, the watermark is completely removed from your creations.

Can I merge images with different dimensions?

Absolutely, your images don't need to have the same dimensions, orientation, or aspect ratio. Resize, crop, and position each image independently on the editable canvas so portrait, landscape, square, and other image sizes can fit together.

Can I merge images with a transparent background?

Yes, you can combine images with transparent backgrounds, such as PNGs, with other photos and graphics on the same canvas. Keep the transparency or add a new background color before exporting. You can also remove the background from your canvas behind uploaded images using the Image Background Remover.

Can I edit photos after I merge them?

Yes, your images stay in Kapwing's editing workspace, so you can continue cropping, resizing, adjusting colors, or adding text, stickers, and other elements before export. For broader photo editing, use Kapwing's Image Editor

What's the difference between merging images and making a photo collage?

Merging images is useful when you want to combine pictures into one image, such as a comparison, screenshot sequence, or side-by-side graphic. For template-based layouts, mood boards, memory collages, and designs with photos, video, or music, use Kapwing's Photo Collage Maker

What image file types can I combine?

Kapwing supports common image formats including JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, HEIC/HEIF, and SVG. You can upload images in any of those formats and combine different file types in the same project without converting them to a matching format first. You can also download images as JPEG, PNG, or WebP with adjustable compression settings.
