Use Collage Maker to Create Instagram Grids

BeFunky's Collage Maker makes it easy to plan and preview your upcoming Instagram posts. Use a grid layout to arrange your images, experiment with the order of your posts, and save your layout so you can return to it later.

Choose a Grid Layout

Open the Collage Maker, then select Layouts and choose Grid.

Select the 3 × 3 grid layout to create a preview that matches the three-column layout used for an Instagram profile.

Add Your Images

Add the images you're considering for your upcoming posts to the Image Manager. From the Image Manager can also add images from several different sources to the Image Manager.

• Computer: Navigate your computer file system to upload images from your device. You can also drag-and-drop your images from your computer's hard drive right into the Image Manager.
• Stock Images: Select Search Stock Images to browse free stock images. Select an image to add it to the Image Manager.

You can also open the Image Library from the (...) overflow menu to add images you've saved to BeFunky, Google Photos, or Google Drive.

Arrange Your Instagram Grid

Drag and drop images from the Image Manager into the cells of your grid.

To experiment with a different order, select an image in the grid and drag it to another cell. The images will switch places, making it easy to preview different arrangements.

Edit an Image in Your Grid

If an image needs additional editing, select it to open Image Properties. Then select Open in Photo Editor.

Make your edits in the Photo Editor, then select Back to Collage Maker to return to your grid with the edited image.

Save Your Instagram Grid

Once you're happy with your layout, save it as a project so you can return to it later and make additional changes.

Saving your grid as a project lets you return later to rearrange your images, replace planned posts, or continue building out your content plan.
