Image Merger
Tell a richer story!
Combine multiple images into stunning collages and composites.
About This Plugin
The Image Merger plugin enables .NET developers to create sophisticated image compositions, collages, and panoramas. With flexible layout engines, blend modes, masking capabilities, and alignment tools, you can combine multiple images into cohesive visual compositions. Ideal for creating photo grids, panoramic stitching, watermarking, overlays, and complex multi-layer image designs in your .NET applications.
.NET Prerequisites
- Microsoft Windows or a compatible OS with .NET Core
- Development environment: Visual Studio Code or Microsoft Visual Studio
How to Use
Reference Imagise Image Merger
Install the Imagise.ImageMerger NuGet package into your .NET project and add the required namespace references to access the merger functionality.
Set License Keys
Configure your license through the License class to activate all merging features including advanced composition and blending capabilities.
Create Merger Instance
Initialize an ImageMerger object and set up the canvas dimensions, background color, and overall composition layout for your merged output.
Configure Merge Options
Define layout patterns (grid, freeform, panorama), spacing, alignment, blend modes, and opacity settings for how images will be combined.
Add Images to Composition
Load and position source images on the canvas. Configure individual image properties like position, size, rotation, blend mode, and layer order.
Save Merged Result
Render the final composition and export to your desired format. The output contains all layers merged into a single, optimized image file.

Choose from preset layouts (grid, horizontal, vertical, collage) or create custom compositions with precise positioning and alignment control.
Advanced Blend Modes
Apply professional blend modes including multiply, screen, overlay, soft light, and more for creative compositing effects and seamless image integration.
Automatic Panorama Stitching
Intelligent algorithm automatically aligns and blends overlapping images to create seamless panoramic compositions with exposure blending.
Layer Management & Masking
Full layer control with opacity, blend modes, masking, and transformation options for each image in your composition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I create collages with different sized images?
Yes, the merger handles images of different sizes and aspect ratios. You can use automatic layout algorithms or manually position and scale each image to fit your design requirements.
How does panorama stitching work?
The panorama feature automatically detects overlapping regions between images, aligns them based on feature matching, and blends exposure and color for seamless results. It supports both horizontal and vertical panoramas.
Can I add watermarks or overlays?
Absolutely. You can position any image as an overlay with configurable opacity, blend mode, and positioning. This is perfect for watermarking, logos, or creating layered compositions.
