Among its many useful features, Google Photos can create a picture collage for users. A collage is a great way to showcase multiple pictures together. However, creating a picture collage can be difficult, especially for someone who needs to learn how to operate photo editing apps like Photoshop or Lightroom. Luckily, apps like Google Photos come with built-in tools that allow users to place images together, doing most of the difficult part for them.

To make a picture collage on Google Photos for Android, open the app and select up to six images from the 'Photos' section. At the bottom of the screen, tap the 'Add To' button and select 'Collage' from the pop-up menu. Google Photos will automatically add the selected pictures to a collage, which, by default, arranges all the pictures side by side in a square or rectangular layout. At this point, users can tap on an image to edit its size and orientation, or replace it with another photograph from their gallery. Additionally, it is possible to swap two or more pictures at the same time by holding one picture and dropping it over the other.

Users who like the collage can save a copy right away by tapping the 'Save' button in the bottom right corner. However, there are plenty of designs and templates available at the bottom of the screen to help spruce things up. Google Photos provides several collage designs, each with a unique style and color theme. Once users find a suitable template, they can replace the images in the collage, change the sizes of the different patterns, and edit the Google Photos images individually. After making all the changes, tap 'Save' in the bottom right corner, and the app will save the collage as a new picture.

To share the collage with friends or family members, open the collage in Google Photos, tap the 'Share' button in the bottom left corner, and select a platform. There are multiple ways to share the collage, using apps like Google Photos, Gmail, Nearby Share, WhatsApp, Instagram, and more. The collage can also be uploaded to Google Drive or printed if their phone is connected to a wireless printer.

Users can also create picture collages on Google Photos for iOS and desktop by following the same steps. However, people with any recent Pixel smartphone or Google One subscriptions get access to more styles and templates. As far as minimum device requirements go, an Android device should have at least 3GB of RAM and Android 8.0, while iPhones should have at least 3GB RAM and run iOS 15 or above to create a picture collage on Google Photos.
