Now File, Save and choose your image format, like PNG or JPG. Now go to the second image, select all, copy, and return to the new document and paste. You still have the image in the buffer, so Paste to put it there, moving it with a drag so it is covering the left side. Don’t worry about that, because you are going to cover it up. For instance, if both images are 1000 by 1000, then change the size to 2000 by 1000 so both can fit.Īt this point, the current image has stretched to fit the space.

Then, increase the width and height as much as you need to fit the other image. The next step is to change the size of the image to make room for the other one. Now you have a new document that contains the first image. Change the vertical/horizontal arrangement of the pages so that the merged image looks as you want. Click the Merge Pages button to switch Preview to a double-page spread view. Select the pages while holding down the command key or Shift key. Then look at the first image, select all (Edit, Select All) and then Copy. Select two pages to be merged in the Pages Panel in the ScanSnap Page Merger window. So let’s assume that you mean you want to take two images and create a third image that shows both side-by-side.

I touch on some of the basics of how to edit images in Preview in this video.
