The left-right split is the standard format for edits, renovations, filters, and treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tutorial step-by-step<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Vertical layout with 3\u20135 images showing each step. One long image is easier to share than multiple separate files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Product photo grid<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Grid layout with 4\u20139 product shots. Common for e-commerce listings and social media carousels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Side-by-side comparison<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Horizontal layout for comparing two versions (e.g., two design options, two phones, two outfits).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Contact sheet \/ proof sheet<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Grid layout with many small images. Photographers use these to review shoots; designers use them for asset overviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Clean Merges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Match dimensions first<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 If your images have very different sizes, resize them to the same width (for horizontal) or same height (for vertical) before merging. Otherwise the layout will have awkward gaps or misalignments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consistent spacing<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 The tool handles spacing automatically. If you need custom gaps, consider adding white borders to your images first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>File format<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 Merged output is a single image file. If any input has transparency (PNG), the output preserves it. For photos, JPG is fine. For graphics with transparency, use PNG.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many images can I merge at once?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No hard limit. The tool handles as many as you add. For practical purposes, 2\u201312 images is the typical range. Very large numbers of high-resolution images may slow down the browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I adjust the spacing between images?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tool uses consistent automatic spacing. For custom gaps or borders, you can add padding to individual images using the resize or watermark tool before merging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I rearrange the order after uploading?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The merge order follows the upload order. If you need a different arrangement, re-upload the images in the desired sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What resolution is the output?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The merged image keeps the full resolution of the originals. For horizontal merges, the output width is the sum of all image widths. For vertical merges, the output height is the sum of all image heights. Grid layout calculates dimensions automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does it work with different-sized images?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, but the result may have gaps or misalignments if sizes vary wildly. For the cleanest result, resize images to consistent dimensions before merging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>More image tools from ImgNeo:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/imgneo.com\/split-image.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Split Image<\/a>&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/imgneo.com\/resize.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Resize Images<\/a>&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/imgneo.com\/crop.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crop Images<\/a>&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/imgneo.com\/watermark.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Add Watermark<\/a>&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/imgneo.com\/convert.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Convert Formats<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Need to put two or more images next&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imgneo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imgneo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imgneo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imgneo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imgneo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/imgneo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":143,"href":"https:\/\/imgneo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138\/revisions\/143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imgneo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imgneo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imgneo.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
