## What it is

Collage puts several screenshots on one canvas: side by side, stacked, in a 2 × 2 grid, 1 big + 2 small, 3 in a row, a showcase, or freeform.

Nice gives every shot a background, an even gap, rounded corners and a shadow. Raw puts them edge to edge with nothing around them, for docs and bug reports.

Arrows, text and blur stay on their shot when you change the layout, crop or swap shots.

## How to use it

1.  1
    
    Take a few shots
    
    Every shot you take slides onto the Shelf beside the editor.
    
2.  2
    
    Put them on one canvas
    
    Drag shots from the Shelf onto the canvas, or ⌘-click several on the Shelf and choose Make Collage.
    
3.  3
    
    Pick a layout
    
    Use the collage bar to choose a layout, or a ready look: Showcase, Grid, Before / After or Stack.
    
4.  4
    
    Make it nice
    
    Pick Nice for a background, even gaps, rounded corners and shadows, or Raw for the shots edge to edge.
    
5.  5
    
    Copy or save
    
    Press ⌘C to copy the collage, or ⌘S to save it.
    

## Tips

-   Match heights or Match widths lines the shots up; Shorter shot sets what a smaller one does: Extend, Centre or Scale.
-   Drag a card onto another to swap them. Right-click a card to crop it, replace it or remove it.

## Questions

Can I use images that aren’t screenshots?

Yes. Drop any image onto the Shelf (or press ⌘V in the editor) and it can go into a collage.

Can I still mark it up?

Yes. The editor’s tools work on a collage, and the marks follow their shot through every layout change.
