How can I take hundreds of smaller images and create one big tiled image?

Solution 1:

Try ImageMagick, a command-line image editor. Its montage command can help you tile your images together. For more info about montage:

Here's an example that tiles 100 PNG files in a folder together (10 images down, 10 images across).

montage *.png -geometry +0+0 -tile 10x10 all.png

where

all.png is the output file name

-geometry +horizontalSpacing+verticalSpacing
-tile COLSxROWS

Result:
