Merge Images

Combine two or more images into one — side by side for comparisons, stacked vertically for tall layouts — with gap, alignment and background control.

SELECT 2–6 IMAGES (ORDER MATTERS)

Everything runs in your browser — your images never leave your device.

Why side-by-side images work

The brain compares effortlessly when things sit next to each other — which is why before/after pairs, versus comparisons and step sequences are the most shared image format on the web. This tool builds them without any editor: select the images, pick the direction, download.

  • Height matching (side-by-side): images with different heights are aligned at the top by default — enable 'match height' to scale all to the first image's height for a clean strip.
  • Stack mode: top-to-bottom for tall layouts — receipts, chat screenshots, recipe steps, vertical carousels turned into one image.
  • Gap and background: separate the images with a gap over a white, black or custom background — a subtle gap makes comparisons easier to read than zero-distance.
  • Order control: images render in selection order; re-select in the sequence you want (before first, after second).
  • Labeling tip: add 'BEFORE/AFTER' text on top of each image first with our Add Text to Image tool, then merge here for a finished comparison card.

Use cases: progress photos, renovation before/after, product comparison, screenshot stitching, proof screenshots and portfolio pairs.

Your privacy

Images are composited locally with the browser canvas. They are never uploaded to any server and never stored.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I put two pictures side by side?+

Select both images (the file picker allows multiple), keep 'Horizontal' direction and download. The result is one image with both photos left-to-right, in selection order.

How do I make a before and after picture?+

Select the 'before' photo first and the 'after' second, choose horizontal mode with a small gap, and download. For a more polished card, add BEFORE/AFTER labels to each image first with our Add Text to Image tool.

What if my images have different heights?+

By default they align at the top on a shared canvas. Enable 'match height' to scale every image to the first one's height — the standard look for comparison strips.

Can I stack images vertically instead?+

Yes — switch direction to 'Vertical' and the images flow top to bottom. Useful for receipts, chat exports and step-by-step sequences.

How many images can I combine?+

Up to six per merge. For bigger collages, merge in batches (combine results) — or keep it simple: beyond six, a collage grid communicates better than a strip.

Does merging reduce image quality?+

No — images are drawn at their original resolution (unless height-matching scales one down). Export as PNG for zero loss.
