Google Docs is not exactly friendly when it comes to photo editing. Even an increment feature like photo collage is not yet available in the service. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t make a photo collage with it.
The screenshot you see above is proof that you can create a photo collage with Google Docs. It’s not as easy as other platforms that have a dedicated function for it. Instead, I will show you how we can utilize Drawing tools to arrange multiple photos together to form a collage.
Check out the guide below!
1. Open a Google Docs document, then navigate to Insert > Drawing > New.
