Generate your photo collage online

Take your base image and use the overlay parameter (l in URLs) to add any further images. Set the required width and height (w and h in URLs) with the required crop mode, and add any further transformations, effects and texts.

Cloudinary allows taking any of your uploaded images and add them as overlays on any base image. The base image can be either from your uploaded images, remotely fetched images and more.

Here are four upload images we'd like to generate a collage from:

https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/yellow_tulip.jpg
yellow_tulip
https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/brown_sheep.jpg
brown_sheep
https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/horses.jpg
horses
https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/white_chicken.jpg
white_chicken

Now we'll take these four images and place them one next to the other:

We can add a fifth image (with the public ID 'butterfly') while rotating it a bit:
