If you do not see this option

• Left without saving? The X at the top left asks: Discard collage? Your collage won't be saved, with Keep editing and Discard.

  

• Starting from photos you already picked? Google says: select up to 6 photos, then tap Create, Collage at the bottom. Source: Make & edit collages in Google Photos (Android)

If this does not work

• No Collage option? Google says your phone needs at least 3 GB of RAM and Android 8.0 or later. Source: Make & edit collages in Google Photos (Android)
• Want more or fewer photos? Google says to tap Templates and switch to a layout with a different photo count, or tap Add or Remove. Source: Make & edit collages in Google Photos (Android)

About this guide

Google says you can start a collage from up to 6 photos. We made a two-photo collage from our own park photos.

The screenshots are from our Google Pixel 10a with Android 17 and the Google Photos app, taken on 25 October 2026. Backup was off. We discarded the collage, so nothing was saved. Our profile picture is blurred.

Good to know

To clean up a photo first, see remove objects from photos in Snapseed.

In short: Create, Collage, + in each slot, Done, Save.
