How to combine photos on Android

There are many reasons why you might want to place photos next to each other. If you want to do this on your Android device, you have a few options available to you.

There are many image editing apps for Android that allow you to stitch your photos. You can use one of these apps and have your images appear side by side on your phone.

The article will show you two ways to combine photos on Android in the instructions below.

Use Adobe Photoshop Express to stitch photos on Android

Free Adobe Photoshop Express is one of the popular photo editing apps that you can use to stitch photos on Android. The app allows you to place your photos in various layouts, and you are free to choose any photo you like.

To combine photos on Android phones with this app:

1. Download and install the Adobe Photoshop Express app on your device.

2. Launch the app and log in to your Adobe account. If you don't have one, you can create a new account for free.

3. Grant memory access permissions to the application

4. On the app's home screen, tap the photo collage icon in the bottom right corner.

5. Select the images you want to place next to each other. Click on the image once to select it. Then, click the Next icon at the bottom right.

6. By default, your photo will use a vertical layout if you select two or three images. In case there are 4 or more photos, the app will place them in a grid layout. To change this, tap any preview layout in the bottom toolbar so the photos appear side by side or in the layout of your choice.

7. You can pinch the images with two fingers to adjust them.

8. When you are satisfied with the result, tap the share icon at the top right.

9. On the following screen, click Save to Gallery to save your collage.

On the last screen, you can share your collage directly to your social media accounts as well as email accounts.

Use Image Combiner to combine photos on Android

Image Combiner - another free app - is dedicated to helping you combine photos on Android devices. With this app, you can select any photo on your phone and place them side by side.

The app will manage your image adjustments, so you don't have to manually move your photos to make them look better.

To use this photo collage app on Android devices:

1. Install the free Image Combiner app from the Google Play Store, then launch the app and agree to its privacy policy by clicking Yes, I Agree to continue.

2. Click Combine and select Add Picture at the bottom to add the photo you want to combine.

3. On the Add picture from pop-up window , select Gallery & other sources . Click Allow to grant access to application memory. This will take you to the file manager.

4. In the file manager screen, click the hamburger icon at the top left and select Gallery. This will allow you to select photos from the Gallery app.

5. Select the photos you want to merge and tap the check mark at the top right.

6. Once your photos are in the app, tap Combine Images at the bottom. The photos will start to appear next to each other.

7. You can configure how your photos are combined. For example, you can combine your photos both vertically and horizontally. Choose the option you like and click Save.

8. Enter a name for the new collage and click OK. Your photo is now saved in the Gallery app.

If you feel the image quality is not as expected, open the app, tap the three dots at the top right and select Settings.

You will see an option called Default image quality . Click this option to choose the quality for the collages. Remember that the higher the photo quality you choose, the larger your photo size will be.

If you're looking to stitch photos on your Android phone, you don't need to rely on desktop apps because there are apps that allow you to do this task right on your phone itself. The only thing to note is that you can't superimpose one picture on top of another with these apps - you can only place them next to each other.

To further enhance photo quality, you can use one of the many image editing apps available for Android devices.
