Select One Photo Per Month

The key to a great year in review collage is organization. Go through your photos month by month and pick one standout image for each. This could be from a holiday, a celebration, or just a beautiful day that you want to remember.

Aim for a mix of portraits, landscapes, and action shots to make your collage dynamic. Using 12 photos creates a clean and balanced overview of your year.

Choose a Grid-Based Template

For a 12-month collage, a grid template is ideal. CollageGo offers many grid layouts, such as a 3x4 or 4x3 grid, which are perfect for displaying 12 photos chronologically. This structure gives your collage a clean, calendar-like feel.

Add Text for Context

Enhance your story by adding text. You can add the year, like '2024', as a main title or add small captions for each month. Our editor lets you choose between three stylish typefaces: Modern, Classic, and Typewriter.

Check Photo Quality for Printing

Ensure your memories look their best by using high-quality photos. Our editor's sharpness check automatically warns you if a photo's resolution is too low for the selected print size. Always use original files from your camera or phone, not compressed versions from social media.

Print Your Annual Review

Once your design is ready, choose how you want to bring it to life. A large poster is perfect for a bedroom wall, while a premium canvas or sleek aluminium dibond makes a great centrepiece. What you see in the preview is exactly what will be printed and shipped from Rotterdam within 3 to 5 working days.
