Leave room at the top and bottom
In stories, your name sits at the top and the reply field at the bottom, both on top of the picture. Keep faces and text towards the middle and leave about an eighth free at each end.

Tips for great story collages
Fewer pictures, shown bigger
On a phone, three to five photos look stronger than twelve small ones. If you want to show many, spread them over two stories.
Prefer portrait photos
Photos taken in portrait lose less when cropped. In mosa you move the crop with two fingers.
Motion without editing
The animated video turns a still collage into a short sequence. It feels alive without any video editing.
Questions about story collages
Short answers.
What size are stories?
Stories are 9:16 portrait, for example 1080 by 1920 pixels. mosa creates story collages in exactly that ratio and even saves images at 2160 by 3840 pixels.
Can I save the collage as a video?
Yes. Every collage can be saved as an animated video: the photos appear one by one, followed by text and stickers.
Is there a watermark?
No. mosa never adds a watermark, not even on videos. The app is completely free.
How many photos fit into a story collage?
Up to 20. For stories we recommend three to six so the pictures stay big enough on a phone.
