  5. Save the configuration, then run the program.
  6. Check the software log during processing and review the output folder after completion.

Parameter Reference

Output image size

Final width and height of each collage. Larger sizes keep more detail but produce larger files.

Background color

Fills the canvas background, gaps, borders, and empty areas.

Transparent background

Exports transparent areas when supported. PNG is recommended.

Output format

Supports JPG, PNG, and WEBP. PNG is best for transparency; JPG is smaller for normal images.

Image compression

Controls quality and file size. 100% keeps maximum quality.

Collage mode

Controls the grid layout, such as 2x2, 3x3, or up to 8x8.

Outer border

Adds blank margin around the whole collage in pixels.

Image fit

Auto Crop fills cells and may crop edges; Stretch changes ratio; Keep Aspect Ratio preserves the full image.

Corner radius

Rounds each image corner. Higher values create a softer card style.

Spacing or blur feather

Spacing adds gaps between images; blur feather softens transitions.

Preview layout

Shows a canvas preview for checking layout, text, watermark, and spacing.

Watermark PNG

Adds a PNG watermark scaled to the output image size.

Show text borders

Shows editing borders for text layers. It does not export to the final image.

Text layer

Adds titles, labels, item numbers, or campaign copy to every output.

Font

Controls the style of the text layer.

Font size

Controls text size. Larger text needs more layout space.

Alignment

Supports left, center, and right alignment.

Font color

Sets the text fill color.

Stroke color and width

Adds an outline to improve readability on complex backgrounds.

Text width and height

Controls the text box area. Important for long or batch text.

Text X and Y

Precisely positions the text layer on the canvas.

Rotation angle

Rotates the text layer for labels or decorative layouts.

Batch text

Uses different text for different generated images. One line maps to one output and loops when needed.

Image source

Single folder takes images from one folder; multiple folders assign each grid slot to a folder.

Random folder order

Randomizes source folder order in multiple-folder mode.

Random image order

Randomizes image selection inside a source folder.

Output naming rule

Supports index, time plus index, or first image name plus index.

License key

Authorizes the feature before running. It does not change output style.

Source folder

Selects the images, files, or project folders to process. Confirm the path exists before running.

Output folder

Sets where generated files are saved. A dedicated empty folder is recommended.

Maximum output count

Limits how many files are generated or processed in one run.

Clear output folder

Removes existing output files before running. Use only when old results are not needed.

Save config

Stores the current settings for this feature. Save before running a batch.

Run program

Starts the task. If a task is running, the same button may stop it.

Software log

Shows progress and errors. Check this first if generation fails.

Output and Run

Before running, make sure the output folder exists. If clear output is enabled, confirm that the folder does not contain files you need to keep. For large jobs, use a dedicated output folder for review, archiving, and regeneration.

FAQ

Why were fewer files processed than expected?

This is usually related to source file count, maximum output count, filters, sorting, or mode settings. Check the input folder and quantity limits first.

Why does the output differ from the preview?

Check size, crop mode, compression quality, background, text placement, sorting, output format, and the preview sample.

Should I overwrite original files?

Use a separate output folder and replace originals only after checking the generated results.

Tips

  • Test with 3 to 5 files before processing many files.
  • Use clear source filenames for sorting, troubleshooting, and archiving.
  • For ecommerce, print, or social media, confirm size, sharpness, and format requirements first.
