Create image collages

Overview

Image collages are composed of several different images, combined together in a specific layout.

You can programmatically create image collages by combining assets that you've already uploaded to your Cloudinary storage. You can specify spacing and colors, and you can choose the composition of the overall collage.

This collage is composed of four images in one row, with black spacing between each:

Create collages using overlays

Another way to create collages with Cloudinary is to use overlays. By specifying the positions of the images to be adjacent to one another, rather than overlaying images on top of each other, you can concatenate or append images side by side or vertically.

For full examples and instructions — including a simple two-image arrangement with hard-coded offsets and a multi-image collage using variables — see Placing images side by side, vertically, or in a collage on the image layers page.
