What people make with it

Fine dining and tasting menus

Every course of an omakase or tasting menu in one Story, signature dishes as hero tiles, each plate captioned.

Group travel recaps

One shareable recap for the whole group chat: landmarks, meals and the group photo, titled with the city and dates.

Weddings and events

Ceremony, details, dance floor and guests in a single post for the couple, the planner or the venue.

Restaurants and cafés

Announce a new seasonal menu or a weekend special with the dishes your guests will actually order.

Product launches and shops

Show a new collection from every angle in one post, with prices or product names as captions.

Hotels, rentals and real estate

Rooms, view, pool and breakfast in one image for a listing, an Airbnb promo or a hotel review.

Birthdays and family moments

A year of a child's milestones, a family reunion or a birthday dinner, ready for Instagram or the family group.

Graduations, concerts and festivals

The crowd, the stage and your friends in one Story, so you post once instead of twelve times.

A collage that looks designed, not dumped into a grid

Most collage apps drop your photos into equal squares and centre-crop them, which slices plates in half and cuts heads off group shots. This tool finds the subject of every photo first and crops around it, then gives your best one to three photos a large hero tile so the eye has somewhere to land.

A warm paper background, thin gutters and a serif title band give the finished image the look of a printed menu or a travel journal page, which is the look that gets saved and shared on Instagram.

Pick the right Instagram format

Story (9:16) is the tallest canvas and fits the most photos; use it for a full tasting menu or a day-by-day trip recap. Post (4:5) takes the most screen space in the feed and is the best choice for a single strong recap post. Square (1:1) suits profile grids, carousels and other platforms that crop to a square.

All three export at 2160px wide, twice Instagram's display width, so text and food detail stay crisp after Instagram's compression.

Frequently Asked Questions

Three Instagram formats: Story (9:16, 2160×3840), Post (4:5, 2160×2700) and Square (1:1, 2160×2160). Every export is twice Instagram's 1080px width, so the image stays sharp after Instagram recompresses it. The Story layout keeps the bottom strip clear of tiles so the reply bar does not cover a photo.

Up to 24 photos. The layout adapts to the count: with a handful of photos you get an even grid, and from four photos up the tool promotes one to three of them to large 2×2 hero tiles so the collage has a focal point instead of a wall of thumbnails.

It looks for the main subject in each photo, the most colourful and detailed region, weighted toward the centre and lower middle where plated food, people and products usually sit, and crops around it. That keeps the dish on the plate and the faces in the frame, rather than cutting a blind centre crop.

Tap the star on any photo to make it a hero. If you do not pick, the tool chooses the most colourful photos, which in practice are the signature dishes, the sunset or the group shot. Photos otherwise keep the order you added them in.

No. The collage is drawn on a canvas inside your browser, so your photos never leave your device. That makes it safe for private family trips, unreleased menus and client work.

Yes. Free collages carry a small ChatSlide logo in the bottom corner. Watch a short video to remove it for the next hour, or sign in to ChatSlide for clean exports.

Yes. Titles, subtitles and captions use your device's serif fonts, which cover Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and other scripts on modern phones and computers, so a title like 和ごころ or 东京之旅 renders correctly.
