Pet Photo Collage

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1

   Pick a grid or go freestyle

   If your pet has a clear "best photo," open Freestyle so you can make it big and build around it. If every photo is equally important (because of course it is), open Grids and choose a 3x3 or 2x3 layout with rounded corners and generous borders. Either way works -- this collage is forgiving because the subject matter does all the heavy lifting.

2. 2

   Curate the highlight reel

   Scroll through your camera roll and pick 6-12 photos that capture the full personality. You want range: the dignified portrait, the mid-sneeze disaster, the nap that looked like a Renaissance painting, the blurry action shot that proves they have a chaotic side. If two photos look too similar, keep the funnier one.

3. 3

   Place photos and let the best one lead

   Drop your favorite photo in the largest spot or the center of the canvas. Arrange the rest around it. In Freestyle, overlap edges slightly and tilt a few photos for a scattered-prints look. In Grids, let the layout handle spacing and focus on cropping each photo so faces and paws are centered. Use Photo Editing to bump warmth up a touch on any photo that looks cold or clinical.

4. 4

   Set a soft, happy background

   Swipe to Backgrounds and pick a warm pastel. Butter yellow feels sunny and cheerful, pale mint feels fresh, blush pink feels cozy. Match the vibe to your pet -- a golden retriever practically demands a warm yellow; a black cat looks stunning on lavender. Avoid pure white -- a slight tint makes every fur color pop.

5. 5

   Decorate with stickers and doodles

   Open the Sticker Library and search for paw prints, bones, hearts, and stars. Scatter paw prints along edges or in corners like your pet walked across the collage. Tuck a heart near their face in your favorite photo. Use the Doodle Tool to draw tiny arrows pointing to the best moments or to sketch a small crown on their head. Keep it light and playful -- this is a celebration, not a design competition.

6. 6

   Add their name and a caption

   Tap Text and type your pet's name in a rounded, friendly font. Place it somewhere prominent. Add a small subtitle if you want -- their breed, their age, or an honest caption like "professional napper" or "chaos coordinator." Size the name larger than anything else on the collage. They deserve top billing.

7. 7

   Save and share

   Save at full resolution. Post to Instagram, send to the family group chat, or print on matte photo paper and stick it on the fridge. For an animated version, use Animation to make photos pop in one at a time -- export as a video for stories or reels. Your pet does not care about any of this, but every pet parent who sees it will.

Variations

Tips

• Use Magic Cutout on your pet's best portrait to create a sticker you can place anywhere -- on a colorful background, over other photos, or floating with a crown sticker above their head
• Blurry action shots of pets running or jumping belong in every pet collage -- the blur IS the personality
• Soft pastels (#F5E6B8 butter yellow, #E8D5E0 blush) let fur textures and eye colors stay the star of the show
• If you are printing, save as PNG for crisp sticker edges and text
