How to make a graduation photo collage

In Memopix, choose Graduation (a graduation cap) or Class Year (the year, like 2027), select 20 to 60 photos from their school years, and Memopix arranges them into the shape. Both templates are free.

Step by step

  1. Choose cap or year. Graduation draws a mortarboard; Class Year spells the year. Edit it to any year or a short word, up to seven characters.
  2. Pick the school years. One or two photos from each year, from the first day of school to the last, tells the whole story.
  3. Let Memopix curate. Duplicates, blurry shots and screenshots are set aside automatically, and faces stay framed in each tile.
  4. Add the name and school. Write their name and the school or class as the title and subtitle.
  5. Export for the party. A portrait 4K or 8K export prints as a poster for the party table; square works for a post.

Graduation collage ideas

  • First day to last day: every school photo, in order, inside the cap.
  • The class year: photos from friends collected with an invite link, as a gift to the whole class.
  • The party poster: a large print by the cake or at the entrance.
  • Kindergarten and preschool: the same idea works for the smallest graduates.
