We'll show you two ways to do just that in the guide below.

To combine your photos on your Android phone with this app:

Download and install the Adobe Photoshop Express app on your device.
Launch the app and sign in to your Adobe account. If you don't have one, you can create a new account for free.
On the main app screen, tap the collage icon in the bottom-right corner.
Select the images you'd like to put side by side. Tapping an image once will select it. Then, tap the next icon in the bottom-right.
By default, your photos will use the vertical layout. To change this, tap the second layout in the bottom toolbar so your photos appear side by side.
You can use a two-finger pinch on your images to adjust them.
When you're happy with the results, tap the share icon in the top-right.
On the following screen, tap Save to Gallery to save your combined photo.

On the last screen, you can share your combined photos directly to your social media accounts as well as email accounts.

2. Use Image Combiner to Combine Photos on Android

Image Combiner—another free app—is dedicated to helping you combine photos on your Android-based devices. With this app, you can select any of your photos on your phone and put them side by side.

The app takes care of adjusting your images so you don't need to manually move your photos around to make them look nicer.

You can configure how your photos are combined. For example, you can combine your photos both vertically and horizontally. Choose the option you like and tap Save.
Enter a name for your new combined photo, and tap OK. Your photo is now saved in the Gallery app.

If you feel the image quality is not what you expected, open the app, tap the three dots in the top-right, and select Settings.

You'll see an option that says Default image quality. Tap this option to choose the quality for your combined photos. Keep in mind the higher the quality you choose for your photos, the larger the size of your photos will be.
