My Month in Photos
Turn four favourite moments into a creative monthly photo recap. Choose a template, add photos from your device or Pexels, personalize the text and image filters, then download a square design ready to share on Instagram, TikTok or your favourite social platform.
Create your month in photos
A month is made of more than major events. It is also the quiet mornings, meals with friends, spontaneous trips and everyday details you want to remember. My Month in Photos helps you combine four of those moments into one personalized monthly photo collage.
Use it as a monthly photo dump, a visual diary or a creative recap of a holiday, season, celebration or ordinary month. You do not need design experience: choose your pictures, customize the template and download the finished design.
If you want an Instagram photo dump template instead of starting from a blank canvas, the built-in layouts make this a straightforward photo collage maker.
Choose a template for your story
Choose from three layouts, each designed around the same four photos:
My Month Board
Creates a playful, overlapping scrapbook collage.
Monthly Highlights
Arranges your memories across an open-planner layout.
Favourite Moments
Places one main memory beside three connected supporting photos.
You can switch between templates while editing without losing your photos or text, making it easy to compare the layouts before downloading your favourite.
Personalize every photo
Add four images by uploading them from your device, dropping them into a photo slot or searching Pexels from the image picker. Adjust the position of each image so the important part stays inside its frame.
Apply individual photo filters to create a consistent mood across the collage. Keep the original colours or try warm, faded, vintage, black-and-white and high-contrast treatments.
Add your own words
Change the month, year, title and four photo captions to tell the story behind your pictures. Captions can describe a place, a favourite memory, something you achieved or a small detail you do not want to forget.
The templates provide the visual structure, but your photos and words make every monthly recap personal.
How to make a monthly photo recap
- Choose four photos that represent your month.
- Select My Month Board, Monthly Highlights or Favourite Moments.
- Add your month, year, title and photo captions.
- Position your images and apply any filters you want.
- Download the finished 1080 × 1080 PNG.
Share the result as a standalone Instagram post, include it in an Instagram carousel, or add it to a TikTok photo post. You can also keep the image as a personal digital journal or send it directly to friends.
Ideas for your monthly photo dump
Your recap does not have to contain only polished or important photographs. Combine celebrations and trips with candid portraits, food, pets, books, outfits, sunsets, creative projects or favourite places.
Choosing a mix of big events and simple everyday moments often creates a more meaningful picture of what the month actually felt like.
