Instagram is the number one website for creating and sharing photos. You can create some great images if you know how to use the available effects. Today you will see how to make fantastic photo collages on Instagram. The process is simple and only takes a few minutes. Let us begin!
Create an Instagram collage on iOS and Android using stickers
Instagram’s “Stickers” feature is perhaps the best method for creating a collage if you want to have complete control over its appearance. Stickers can be a combination of images, photographs, or pre-included graphics.
When you go to “Your Story” and choose the “Stickers” option, you can choose and customize your background and select or create images for the collage. The main advantage of this method is that there are no restrictions on the number of photos/images/stickers you can have in your collage. Rotate them, resize them, move them and layer them to your heart’s content. You can make some cool collages!
- Start the “Instagram application”.
- Tap on “Your history” on top.
- To add the background, tap “any image/thumbnail displayed” or select the “camera” thumbnail that is first in the list.
- If you choose the camera, take a photo to become your background. For a black background, place the camera face down on any surface. The following example is a photo of a desk.
- When the background loads, slide the bottom up (not the entire phone screen) to display the “Sticker” options.
- To include an image as a sticker in your collage, select the “Gallery” icon, then choose one from the gallery.
- To include a photo from the camera, repeat the swipe up maneuver and tap the “ADD YOURS” camera icon, which will launch the front camera.
- To use stickers instead of images, tap them in the list.
- Next, resize and rotate each image with two fingers, then hold and move it wherever you want. You can overlay images and add more if you want.
- If you need to delete a particular image, long-press it and swipe down to the trash icon that appears.
- Repeat “Steps 4-10” for each image/photo/sticker you want to add to your Instagram collage.
- OPTIONAL: When you finish editing, choose how to post your Instagram Story, such as choosing a few close friends, sharing it on Facebook, or none to post it to everyone who follows you.
- When you’re ready to publish your Instagram Story Collage, tap “Your history” in the lower left corner.
If you wish, you can edit your background in the first steps to make it stand out.
Create an Instagram collage story using the layout option
The Instagram Layout option is a feature that allows you to create images using various layouts and features, particularly the collage feature. However, you are restricted to specific collage layouts that limit the number of photos you can use, such as a 2×2, 4×4, 3×3, or 1×3 setup. Additionally, the feature does not allow images to be placed in random ps or overlap. Using the Instagram Layout option is perhaps the easiest of the collage options, but it has its limits. Here’s how to create an Instagram collage story using the Layout option.
- Launch the Instagram app from your smartphone.
- Play the “further” icon (add icon) in the top right p and select “history.”
- Select the “Provision” icon in the vertical menu on the left side.
- Choose your design option, such as “1×3” “4×4” “3×3” etc
- Choose your images for each p, starting with the top left region. To add images, tap the gallery icon in the bottom left corner or press the white circle to take one from your camera. Repeat for each p of the design.
- When you finish adding your images, tap the “check mark in a circle” to save the collage and move to the next step.
- Your collage appears on the screen. Make further edits using the options at the top or tap the “Your history” icon to publish it.
