When was the last time the whole family sat together for a photo portrait? If it has been years, or even decades, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a warm keepsake to bring everyone together. Create a family photo collage in Canva and collect everyone’s bright, beaming faces together on a single page.

We make it easy to design, adjust and revise your photo collage. Not sure if Dad’s graduation photo looks best next to Cousin Sonny’s baby pictures? Try every combination, along with our bevy of photo filters, until everything looks just right.

Upload and edit your treasury of family photos

A great family photo collage spans generations, and we’re up for the task. Whether your photos are digital or scans from old, yellowed scrapbooks, its easy to upload your whole collection to Canva so you can get busy cropping.

You can even take advantage of our photo editing tools(opens in a new tab or window) to make sure every image appears with bright, crisp colors. With a simple slider, you can intensify the saturation, adjust the contrast, and balance the highlights and shadows. Even if you have photos from different years, taken in different lighting conditions, you can make them all look consistent.

Are the photos from yesteryear looking a little dull? No problem—use Auto Enhance(opens in a new tab or window) to instantly make them look vibrant. If the shots are a little out of focus, the Auto Focus feature offers a quick solution. You can even remove backgrounds with Canva Pro’s background remover.(opens in a new tab or window)

Is your family a little silly? Try adorning your collage with stickers and illustrations. Browse our vast collection of over 1 million stock photos, illustrations, and graphic elements for jaunty hats and speech bubbles to add to your collage. Plenty of design elements are available for free and premium photos are offered at a very competitive price, so you can slap a slogan on Great Uncle Herbert without breaking the bank.

To do this, key in T on the editor and a textbox will appear. Type in the names you wish to add, apply your chosen font size, styles, spacing, and color. Then, drag and drop the textbox to where your photo is placed.
