THE LAYOUT LIBRARY

A head start, not a blank canvas.

Six free, editable SVG compositions for photo collages, art mosaics, and visual storyboards. Download a layout, open it in a compatible editor, and make it your own.

FROM LAYOUT TO YOUR OWN ARTWORK

Keep the structure.
Change the story.

The files contain editable geometric elements, not embedded photos. Use them as finished pattern studies or replace their panels with your own approved images in an SVG-compatible editor. Keep the source file before exporting a flattened image.

01

Open the SVG.

Use a vector or design editor that supports SVG. Check how it handles groups and clipping paths.

02

Change the elements.

Recolor shapes, adjust the spacing, or use the composition as a guide for placing your own photographs.

03

Check the destination.

Export at the intended dimensions. Social previews, print requirements, and editing support vary by destination.
