Merge Images combines several pictures into one. Stack them vertically, place them side by side, or arrange them in a grid, then download a single image file. The work is done by your browser, with nothing uploaded to a server.

One picture travels better than six

Send six screenshots to explain a problem and the person on the other end sees them in whatever order their app decides, opens them one at a time, and loses the thread. Send one merged image and the whole sequence is visible at a glance, in the order you intended.

The same applies anywhere images need to be read together rather than separately: a before and after, a set of product angles, two halves of a wide document, a page of notes photographed in sections.

How to merge images

  1. 1
    Add your pictures

    Drop in the images you want combined. They appear as thumbnails in the workspace.

  2. 2
    Choose a layout

    Vertical stacks read like a document. Horizontal rows work for comparisons. A grid suits a set of items that carry equal weight.

  3. 3
    Set the order

    Drag the thumbnails until the sequence is right. Camera and screenshot file names sort alphabetically, which is rarely the order you want.

  4. 4
    Merge and download

    The combined picture is generated on your device and saved. Your source images are untouched.

Picking the right arrangement

Vertical is the safest default for anything sequential. Chat apps and phone screens are tall, so a stacked image scrolls naturally and each section stays wide enough to read. Screenshots of a conversation, steps in a process and photographed pages of notes all suit it.

Horizontal is for comparison, where the point is that two things sit next to each other — before and after, two versions of a design, the front and back of a card. Grids work when the images are equals rather than a sequence: a set of product photos, a small gallery, a contact sheet. The one arrangement to avoid is a long horizontal strip of many images, because on a phone each one ends up too narrow to see.

Sizes that do not match

Merging pictures of different dimensions is where results get untidy. A stack containing one image twice as wide as the rest either leaves gaps beside the narrow ones or forces the wide one to shrink. Cropping the pictures to a consistent shape before merging avoids that entirely, and takes less time than fixing it afterwards.

Bear in mind that a merged file is roughly the sum of its parts. Six full-resolution phone photos combine into a very heavy image, so if it is headed for an upload form or a chat app, compress the result — or compress the sources first.

What people merge

  • Screenshots. A sequence of steps or a whole conversation captured in one shareable image.
  • Before and after. Repairs, edits, room makeovers and design revisions shown side by side.
  • Front and back. Both sides of a card, certificate or form on a single sheet.
  • Product sets. Several angles of one item arranged for a listing or a message.
  • Notes and whiteboards. A long page photographed in overlapping sections and rejoined.
  • Collages. A simple grid of photos to share without opening a design app.

Your images stay with you

The merged picture is drawn by your own browser. Your source images are read from your device, combined locally, and returned to you — none of them is sent to filecrafthub.com or to any external service.

Screenshots in particular tend to contain more than intended: notification banners, other tabs, names in a sidebar. Since nothing is uploaded, none of that reaches a server, and there is no stored copy to think about afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

How many images can I combine?

There is no set limit. Very large batches simply take longer, because your own device does the work.

Can I control which image comes first?

Yes. Drag the thumbnails into any order before merging, and that order is what the output uses.

What if my images are different sizes?

They can still be merged, but the result looks tidier if you crop them to a consistent shape first.

Are my pictures uploaded anywhere?

No. The merge happens entirely in your browser and your images never leave your device.

Is the merged file large?

It is roughly the combined weight of the sources. Compress it afterwards if it needs to fit a size limit.

Can I merge images into a PDF instead?

Yes — use JPG to PDF, which gives each picture its own page rather than combining them into one image.

Is there a watermark?

No. The output is clean, with no branding or stamp added.

Want each picture on its own page instead of joined into one image? JPG to PDF is the tool for that. To even the pictures up first, use Crop Image.
