Using Microsoft Word or Google Docs

If you want more control over the positioning and size of each photo, Microsoft Word or Google Docs can be very helpful.

Open a new document in Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
Insert your photos:
- In Word: Go to Insert > Pictures and choose the images you want.
- In Google Docs: Go to Insert > Image and upload the photos.
Once the images are inserted, you can resize and arrange them on the page by dragging and aligning them as desired. You can create a custom layout, line up photos side-by-side, or place them in a grid.
When you’re satisfied with the arrangement, go to File > Print to print your document with the photos organized just the way you want.

If you’d like a quick and user-friendly option with a variety of layout templates, free online collage makers are an excellent choice.

Choose a layout template that allows you to fit multiple images on a single page. Many collage makers offer pre-set templates to make this process easy.
Upload the photos you want to include, then arrange them within the template. You can resize, crop, and adjust each image to get the perfect look.
Once your collage is ready, download the final image to your computer.
Open the file and print it from your computer, making sure to adjust paper size and layout settings as needed.

Final Words: Choosing the Best Method

Choosing the best method depends on your device and how much control you want over the layout:

For the easiest method, we recommend using built-in photo viewing software on your computer. Both Windows and macOS have built-in options that are quick and simple for printing multiple images on a page without needing additional software.
For more control over photo placement, try Microsoft Word or Google Docs. This works well if you want a custom layout but are already familiar with these programs.
