Choose one chapter of the trip
A single place, day or feeling makes a stronger collage than an entire camera roll. Select one wide establishing image, one people-centered moment and one or two details such as food, signs, tickets or architecture.
Build a visual hierarchy
Put the strongest destination image first and choose Feature or Headline. Use Grid only when each moment deserves similar weight. Layout switching retains every photo and crop, so compare options without rebuilding.
Correct each crop
Landscape scenes often fit a wide frame naturally, while portraits may need vertical repositioning. Click the preview frame, adjust Zoom carefully and move the source until faces and landmarks remain clear. The cover crop never stretches the original.
Let the destination guide the style
Pull one understated background color from the sky, landscape or architecture. Use modest spacing to separate moments. Square works for a compact recap; Portrait gives a feed more height; Story creates a phone-first travel sequence.
Keep the original story assets
Download a JPG for everyday sharing or PNG when lossless output matters. Keep the source photos and an HD export if you expect to reframe the collage later.
