What this guide solves
- How to put two screenshots side-by-side in Chrome.
- How to build comparison layouts for before-and-after screenshots.
- How to export one clean collage instead of sharing multiple loose images.
If you want a quick overview first, visit the screenshot collage maker landing page and then come back for the full implementation workflow.
Step 1: Open collage mode in FramedShot
Launch FramedShot from the extension popup and switch to the Collage tab. This mode is built for multi-image composition, so each image sits in a structured slot instead of floating on a free canvas.
If your goal is quick visual comparison, collage mode is faster than manual layout work in design tools.
Step 2: Upload or capture images for each slot
Drop your screenshots into the image tray, then assign each one to the slot you want. You can mix capture sources, for example:
- A "before" screenshot from yesterday's build.
- An "after" screenshot from your current tab.
- Extra supporting views for a 2x2 release summary.
This is the quickest way to combine screenshots online-style while keeping the files local in your browser workflow.
Step 3: Choose the right layout preset
Pick the layout that matches the story you are trying to tell:
Side-by-side comparison
Best for one-to-one before/after screenshots where readers should compare the same UI region.
2x2 collage
Best for release snapshots, feature sets, and timeline updates where you need four related visuals.
Hero + details
Best when one main screenshot needs support from smaller detail shots on one side.
Step 4: Polish spacing, corners, and depth
After layout selection, use spacing controls to improve readability:
- Gap controls distance between images.
- Radius keeps corners consistent across all slots.
- Shadow adds separation when images have light backgrounds.
Keep these values moderate. Over-styled collages often reduce clarity in documentation and social feeds.
Export checklist
- Confirm all slots are filled with the intended screenshot versions.
- Scan for any sensitive text before sharing externally.
- Export once, then reuse the same layout setup for future updates.
FAQ
What is the fastest way to put two screenshots together in Chrome?
Use a two-column collage preset in FramedShot and place one image per column. It is the shortest path from capture to side-by-side output.
Can I make before-and-after screenshots for social posts?
Yes. Collage presets are useful for launch threads, changelog visuals, and product comparisons where one exported image performs better than multiple separate files.
