How to make a photo and video collage on iPhone
Your best moments aren't all videos. A birthday, a trip or a year in review usually lives in a mix of photos and clips — and a collage that combines both tells the whole story in one frame. Video Grid Collage treats photos and videos the same: drop them into any layout and export one video.
Step by step
Pick a template
Open Video Grid Collage (free) and choose a layout on the start screen: vertical for Reels and TikTok, square or landscape.
Add photos and videos
Tap Insert → Collage → Image or Video and pick any mix of photos and clips from your library, or from Files.
Arrange the grid
Try other layouts under Grid → Layout and swap items between cells until the story flows.
Bring the photos to life
Select a photo and add an Animation — a slow zoom or a slide — so it moves along with the videos.
Add music and text
Insert a song with Insert → Audio and a title with Text.
Export
Export one video up to 4K, ready for Reels, TikTok, Stories or the family chat.
Mixing photos and videos well
- Put videos in the biggest cells and photos in the smaller ones — motion draws the eye.
- Give photos a slow zoom so the collage never looks frozen.
- Keep one color mood by applying the same filter to every photo and clip.
- Use a photo as the background of the whole collage for a scrapbook look.
