How to use Canvas Cutter & Collage

  1. 1

    Cut the canvas into shapes

    Click to anchor a divider, move to rotate the preview, then click again to confirm. Use the quick horizontal or vertical split buttons for instant cuts, or enable Allow cross-area cutting to run a single line through multiple areas.

  2. 2

    Drop a photo into each area

    Switch to fill mode, select an area, and upload a photo. The image cover-fills the shape; drag to reposition and scroll to zoom between 10% and 500%.

  3. 3

    Style dividers and export

    Choose a solid, dashed, dotted, or double divider style that carries through to the final file. Sign in and export a 1600×2000 PNG — each account gets 6 free exports per day, with extra exports at 6 credits each.

What is Canvas Cutter & Collage?

FAQ

Can a divider cut several areas at once?

By default, each cut affects one area and cannot overlap existing dividers. Turn on 'Allow cross-area cutting' to split every area the line crosses.

Are my photos uploaded anywhere?

No. The collage editor runs in your browser with Canvas 2D — your images never leave your device.

What size is the exported image?

The canvas is 800×1000 (4:5) and exports as a 1600×2000 PNG so the collage stays sharp anywhere.

How much does export cost?

Each signed-in Tab Story account gets 6 exports per day. Extra exports use 6 credits. Cutting and filling in the browser do not spend credits.
