Ricly campaign still. The demo for this tool is being made.

What you get, exactly.

One sheet from two to six pictures, with the layout, the slot ratio, the background and the spacing set in a panel you see before anything is written.

The frame is yours to set

Square, 4:5, 16:9, 9:16, or let each slot keep the ratio of its picture. Background white, black, transparent or a colour you pick. Spacing from zero to thirty-two pixels between slots.

You set the order by dragging

The panel lets you drag the pictures into the order you want rather than accepting an alphabetical sort that puts image_10 before image_2.

Made for reference plates

Front, profile and three-quarter in one file is exactly what an image model wants when you ask it to keep a character consistent. That is the job this was built around, and it works for a product sheet just as well.

Composed with Core Graphics, locally

No service, no account, no upload. The sheet is drawn by the same graphics engine the system uses, and it lands in the folder you were already in.

Same job. No round trip.

Collage sites are built for holiday photos and paid for with your uploads. The people who make sheets every week — reference plates for an image model, before-and-afters, product rows — need something on the machine. Counted the same way, once your account exists, here is what that costs.

One sheet,
six pictures

Six pictures is the ceiling, and it is a deliberate one. The menu reads Create Photo Grid (6 files), the panel proposes a preset — AI reference, before / after, product sheet, Instagram — and you drag the pictures into the order you want. The sheet is named after the preset and the date, so it sorts itself a week later.

There is no native path, only workarounds. Preview, Keynote and Pages will all hold six pictures on a page if you place them by hand and export. None of them keeps a slot ratio, none of them names the file, and none of them is two seconds from the folder the pictures are in.

Six pictures, one file.

Front, profile, three-quarter. A before and an after. Four products in a row. The sheet is made where the pictures already are.

You came for one tool. 16 more come with it.

Photo Grid is not an app you install. It is one item in a menu that also carries 16 others — same download, same account, nothing extra to set up.

13 are free, 4 are Pro. They install themselves as they ship, so the menu grows without you doing anything. Upscale Image is the pass to make before the sheet when the sources are small, and Strip Metadata the one to make after, before it goes out.

Questions people actually ask.

How many pictures can I put in?

Two to six. Fewer than two is not a grid, and more than six makes every slot too small to be useful — on a bigger selection the entry is greyed, with the reason in its title.

What can I set?

The layout; the slot ratio — square, 4:5, 16:9, 9:16, or each picture’s own; the background — white, black, transparent or a colour you pick; and the spacing, from zero to 32 pixels. Everything is previewed before the file is written.

What are the presets?

AI reference, before / after, product sheet and Instagram carousel. Each one sets the layout, ratio, background and spacing at once; change anything and you are in custom mode.

Do I choose the order?

Yes, by dragging the pictures into place in the panel, rather than accepting an alphabetical sort that puts image_10 before image_2.

Where does the sheet go, and what is it called?

Beside the pictures, named after the preset and the date — ai-reference-2026-09-08.jpg — or after the name you type in the panel. A transparent background gives a PNG; everything else is a JPEG at quality 0.92. If the name exists you get -a, -b and so on.

Are my pictures uploaded anywhere?

No. The sheet is drawn with Core Graphics on your Mac, and nothing needs an account with anyone.
