Features

Pasting is the whole point.

Other collage tools make you download, upload, and wait. PasteCollage just takes the URL and puts the image on your canvas. Everything else flows from that.

Paste image URLs

Copy any image address and press paste — it lands on the canvas at full resolution. No re-uploading the same Pinterest image five times.

Ctrl+V

Drag, resize, rotate

Direct manipulation on the canvas. Grab corners to scale, use a handle to rotate freely, layer pieces over each other.

Instagram post, Pinterest pin, A4, 16:9 presentation, Twitter header — pick once, or set any custom size up to A2 on Premium.

Premium textures

143 paper, fabric, marble, and wood textures to put under your cutouts. 6 ship free; the full library is bundled with Premium.

Export PNG or PDF

Paste from anywhere on the web.

If an image has a direct URL, PasteCollage can pull it. No plugin, no browser extension, no API keys.

Pinterest

Right-click → copy

Open any pin, right-click the image, copy address, Ctrl+V. The pin lands on your canvas at full size.

Skip the download-then-upload dance. Copy the image URL from the photo page and paste it in.

Editorial & design blogs

Found a room, an outfit, a type specimen worth saving? Right-click, paste, keep scrolling.

Not everything is online. Drag images off your desktop, or upload from disk — same canvas, same flow.

How it works

Copy. Paste. Done.

Step 01

Copy the image URL

Right-click any image on the web — "Copy image address" or "Copy image link". That's the whole step.

Step 02

Press Ctrl+V on the canvas

Open PasteCollage, click the canvas, press paste. The image appears at full resolution, ready to move.

Step 03

Arrange & export

Drag, scale, rotate. Paste more URLs to layer more. Export a full-resolution PNG or PDF when done.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I paste an image from a URL?

Right-click any image on the web and choose "Copy image address" (Chrome) or "Copy image link" (Firefox/Safari). Open PasteCollage, click the canvas, and press Ctrl+V. The image is fetched and placed at full resolution.

What's the difference between "copy image" and "copy image address"?

"Copy image" puts the pixels on your clipboard — PasteCollage accepts that too. "Copy image address" copies the URL as text, which is better for full-resolution fetches. Both end up on the canvas when you paste.

Which sites can I paste from?

Anywhere an image has a direct URL: Pinterest, Unsplash, Tumblr, Reddit, blogs, news articles, product pages, your own S3 or Cloudinary bucket. Some sites block hotlinking; when they do, save the image and drag the file instead.

Does this work on mobile?

Yes. Long-press an image in Safari or Chrome to copy the address, then paste it into PasteCollage's mobile editor. Drag-and-drop files from your camera roll works too.

Is pasting free?

Yes. The whole paste-from-URL workflow — including arranging, layering, and exporting — is free. Premium adds unlimited saves, more canvas sizes, textures, templates, and the background remover.

Are the images stored on your servers?

Images fetched via URL are rendered directly on the canvas in your browser. They're only stored if you save the collage to a Premium account. Everything else stays in your session.

Do I have permission to use any image I paste?

That's up to you. Pasting is a technical action; copyright is a separate question. For public sharing or commercial work, stick to images you own or clearly-licensed sources (Unsplash, CC-licensed, your own uploads).

Stop downloading. Start pasting.

Open PasteCollage in your browser, copy the URL of the first image that caught your eye today, and press paste. That's the whole onboarding.
