9 photo collage: the 3×3 grid

Ink has one layout for a 9 photo collage: the classic 3×3 photo grid, three rows of three. On a 1080×1080 square canvas every photo is square and gets the same weight, which suits a year in review or the nine best shots of a trip. It is a Premium layout in the Ink app and needs Ink Premium. In the app you drag the lines, set the borders and zoom each photo into place.

9-photo grid collage, 3×3

Nine photos in three rows of three, the classic 3×3 grid. It holds the highlights of a whole year, the nine best shots of a trip or every guest at a small party, and every photo gets the same weight. On a square canvas each photo is square too. Drag the lines to resize rows and columns, set the borders from none to wide, round the corners, pick the border color, and zoom each photo until it fits.
