Collage

Collage puts several pictures on one page: the front and back of an ID card at real size, two pages side by side, or six receipts for an expense report. The result is a new document; the scans and photos you used stay as they are.

What it is

You pick scans and photos, in the order you want, then lay them out in the editor:

Template	What it does
ID card, real size	Two cards a page, front on top and back below, each at the real size of a bank card (85.6 × 54 mm), with a light cut line.
2 up, 3 up, 4 up, 6 up	That many pictures a page, in a grid. More pictures go on more pages.
Receipts	Fits as many receipts as it can on each page, all at one width, keeping each one’s shape.
Free	Drag pictures anywhere and pinch to resize them.

You can also choose:

The page: A4, Letter or Fit (as tall as the content; not for the ID template), Portrait or Landscape.
Margin and gap: None, Small or Medium.
Caption under each picture: None, Title or Date.

Make collage saves a new document, titled for example “Collage, 30 Oct 2026”, or “Residence permit (front and back)” with the ID template.

When to use it

A copy of your ID, front and back on one sheet, the way offices ask for it.
A month of receipts on two pages instead of thirty.
Two pages of a contract side by side, or a before-and-after.

Step by step

Start a collage

Pick any of these:

Tap +, then under Make from what you have tap Collage.
Tap Tools, then Collage under Pages.
On a document, tap Edit → Make a collage…. Its pages are already picked.
On a photo, tap Edit → Add to a collage….
In a list, tap Select, pick scans and photos, then tap Collage in the bar at the bottom.

Pick what goes in

Tap scans and photos in the order they should appear. Each one gets a number. Use Search your scans and photos to find one.
Tap Next.

A scan brings all its pages. You can take pages out in the editor. A collage holds up to 60 pictures.

Lay it out

Choose a Template. Two card-shaped pictures start on ID card, real size.
Choose the page, the margins and the captions.
Tap a picture to Swap with…, Replace…, Rotate or Remove it. In Free, drag to move and pinch to resize.
Tap Add at the top to bring in more scans or photos.
If the collage has several pages, use the arrows to look at each one.
Tap Make collage. You see “Collage made”, and the new document opens.

Free and Pro

Collage is free.

Privacy

The collage is made on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to our server.
The new document keeps the strictest marks of what went into it: if one picture is an ID or another protected paper, the collage is protected too; if one is marked Never send to AI, so is the collage. It’s never named by AI.
IDs, medical, bank and tax papers show a lock in the picker and ask for Face ID when you pick them.
Items in a private vault are never offered. You can move the finished collage to a vault with More → Move to a vault.
The collage’s text comes from the text Paperwise already read on each page, so you can search it right away.

Tips

For real size on paper, print at 100% (“Actual size”), not “Fit to page”. The ID template prints at real size on A4 and Letter.
A collage made from the Tools screen lands on Home. One made from a folder’s + lands in that folder; from a document, next to it.
PDFs and Word files can’t go in a collage directly. Open one and use Edit → Make a scan first.

What if…

What if a scan or file isn’t in the list?

Collage takes scans and photos. Notes, cards, PDFs and Office files aren’t listed, and nothing in a private vault or in Recently deleted is.

What if the cards come out the wrong size?

The ID template sets a picture to real card size when it’s close to a card’s shape. A picture that isn’t card-shaped is fitted inside the card. Retake it with ID card for a clean crop.

What if I want to change a collage later?

A collage is a normal document. Use Edit, Markup and Share on it like any scan, or make a new collage from the same pictures.
