How to make a Christmas photo collage
Open a Christmas collage template — Merry & bright, Home for the holidays or Christmas card — preview it with your photos and apply it. Change the greeting in Style, then add seasonal stickers such as pine trees, holly, snowflakes and candy canes, or the Christmas cheer sticker set. The Christmas card template uses the 4×6 print size, so it prints as a real card. One tap above the canvas changes the shape: a 4:5 post, a 4×6 or 5×7 card, a phone wallpaper or a desktop wallpaper.

Christmas card or photo collage?
For a card you will print, start with the Christmas card template, which is sized 4×6 inches. Tap 5×7 above the canvas if your printer or photo shop sells cards at that size. For sharing online, Merry & bright and Home for the holidays use a 4:5 portrait size.
Why send a Christmas collage
A Christmas collage fits a whole year of family moments on one card. Send the Christmas collage by message, or print it for relatives who keep cards on the shelf.
Photo ideas
- Everyone by the tree, plus one outtake where someone is laughing.
- A winter walk, a baking afternoon or matching pajamas.
- A “year in photos” card with one picture from each season.
Greeting ideas
“Merry Christmas from the Parkers”, “Season’s greetings”, “Home for the holidays” or “Our year in photos”. Short greetings read best when a Christmas collage is viewed on a phone.

Choose the largest download size and check the 300 DPI note in the download window. See the print size guide for pixel sizes.
Christmas card with several photos

Three or four photos read best at that size; Merry & bright and Home for the holidays are 4:5 and suit a larger set. At 3000 pixels the 4×6 card is about 500 DPI, more than the 300 DPI a print needs, so you can print it at home or at a photo shop.
