Create a collage without uploading your photos

Selecting does not require uploading

A website can provide code that runs an editor on your device. After you select files, the browser lets that editor read them locally, compose a canvas and create a downloadable image. The selected photos do not need to reach the Jarvis application server.

The server supplies the website, code and layouts. Your phone or computer performs the image work. That avoids a server-side upload queue and temporary photo storage.

Try a local composition

Select two supported JPEG photos and choose Side by side. Adjust the crops, add a short title and download a square JPG. Your selected files remain on the device, and the collage is saved through the browser’s normal download mechanism.

Each editing step works with local image data. You can create a composition without an account, server upload or watermark.

Why limits still matter

Local processing uses device memory and CPU. Compressed files can expand into much larger decoded pixel buffers. A small file size therefore does not necessarily mean a small memory requirement.

Jarvis allows nine photos, 10 MB each, 30 MB combined and 24 megapixels per input image. It reads sequentially and resizes for editing. Older phones may still benefit from fewer photos or a simpler layout.

Download, then clear

Clear editor releases working images and edits. It does not delete originals or downloads. Photo drafts are not saved in persistent browser storage, so download before refreshing or leaving.

Analytics count allowlisted activity such as templates and downloads, not images, filenames or overlay text. Browser and operating-system caching are controlled by your device: local processing is not a secure-erasure promise. Read the privacy page for details.
