You can make a photo collage on iPhone with PicWay: up to 20 photos in standard ratios (3:4, 1:1, 4:5, 9:16), or up to 30 in Long strip. You can still change the ratio, layout, and background after it’s made. It’s saved once, in your Photos library, and you can find it again in PicWay’s Creations.

## How to do it {#steps}

1. **Pick your photos**: Tap Collage on the Memories tab, choose your photos on the Pick photos for a collage screen, then tap Add. You can add more on the editing page later.
2. **Change the ratio and layout**: Tap the ratio button to switch between 3:4, 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, and Long strip. Tap Shuffle layouts for new arrangements. With Long strip, you can also change Rows.
3. **Choose a background**: Choose an automatic color from your photos, a solid color, or a gradient.
4. **Export**: Tap Export at the top right, choose a format, then tap Save to Photos or Share. With only still photos, it exports as a regular image.

## How many photos fit in a photo collage on iPhone? {#max-photos}

Up to 20 in standard ratios (3:4, 1:1, 4:5, 9:16), and up to 30 in **Long strip**. If you switch to a standard ratio, photos over the limit are removed from the collage, and PicWay tells you.

## Where is the collage saved? {#where-saved}

It’s saved once, in the **PicWay Creations** album in the Photos app. You’ll also find it in PicWay’s **Creations**, where you can open or share it again.

## Can I make one without opening PicWay? {#without-opening-app}

Yes. Select 2 to 30 photos in the Photos app, tap Share, and scroll to **Collage**. You can also add the **Collage** widget to your Home Screen and start with one tap.

If a collage has a Live Photo in it, it moves. See [how to make a Live Photo collage](https://picway.app/guides/live-photo-collage/).
