Export your collage as PNG, JPEG, PDF, GIF or WebP, at 1x, 2x or 3x

Until this week, exporting a collage from PasteCollage was one click: PNG, PDF, GIF or WebP, always at the size of your canvas, always named collage.png (or .pdf, or .gif). That covered most people, but not the person printing an A4 poster, the person emailing a 4K board that came out at 25 MB, or anyone who wanted to know which file they just downloaded. The new export panel fixes all three. Open it with the Export button on the left toolbar (or the Export tab on your phone) and you get a format, a size, a quality setting where it matters, and an editable file name.

Which format to pick

PNG is the default and the safe choice. It is lossless, so text and hard edges stay crisp, and it keeps a transparent background if you chose one in the Background panel. The trade-off is file size: a big canvas full of photos can run to tens of megabytes.
JPEG is for photos you will email, upload, or post. Files are 5 to 10 times smaller than PNG. A quality slider runs from 60 to 100 (90 by default), and transparent areas become white, because JPEG has no transparency.
PDF gives you one page the exact size of your canvas, ready to send to a printer or drop into a document. Pick a print preset such as A4 or US Letter first and the page comes out at that paper size.
GIF exports an animation when your collage contains animated GIFs. It loops, it plays everywhere, and it is the biggest file of the five.
WebP is the modern alternative: animated when your collage is animated, still when it is not, and much smaller than GIF. Safari cannot save WebP yet, so use Chrome, Edge, or Firefox for that one.

GIF and WebP export are free, like PNG and PDF.

1x, 2x and 3x

The Size row renders your collage at one, two, or three times the canvas dimensions. A 1200 x 700 canvas becomes 2400 x 1400 at 2x and 3600 x 2100 at 3x; an Instagram square (1080 x 1080) becomes 3240 x 3240 at 3x. Everything is re-rendered from the originals, not stretched, so text and edges stay sharp and photos keep whatever detail they had.

Use 2x for anything shown on a high-density screen: phone wallpapers, Instagram, a slide that will be projected. Use 3x when the file will be zoomed, cropped, or printed small. 1x is free; 2x and 3x are part of Premium.

Very large exports are capped by what your browser can hold in memory, which on iPhone and iPad is lower than on a laptop. When a size would not fit, the panel greys it out instead of failing halfway through.

Print-quality PDF

Screens are 96 pixels per inch; print wants 300. Turn on Print quality (300 DPI) in the PDF options and PasteCollage renders the page at 3.125x before building the PDF, so an A4 collage arrives as a 2481 x 3509 pixel page instead of 794 x 1123. The paper size does not change, only the detail. This is the setting to use for posters, photo books, and anything a print shop will handle. It is a Premium option, like 2x and 3x.

File names you can read

Exports are now named after your collage: the saved title (or collage if it has none), the pixel size, and the date, for example summer-trip-2400x1400-2026-09-07.jpg. Edit the name in the panel before you export if you want something else; the extension follows the format automatically.

The panel remembers your last format, size, and quality on this device, so if you always want JPEG at 2x, set it once.

On your phone

The mobile Export sheet has the same options. For PNG and JPEG the button opens your phone's share sheet, so you can send the image straight to Messages, Instagram, or Files; PDF, GIF and WebP download.

Everything here works on any collage, moodboard, or vision board you make, with no sign-up needed for the free formats and sizes.
