How to Use the Local Project Library in Collage Pro

Open the project library from the editor toolbar, give the project a clear name, and choose Save project. If you are already editing a saved project, Save changes updates that same project.

Use names that describe the job, such as campaign cover, product grid, or family recap. A practical name matters once you have several similar collages saved in the same browser.

Saved projects appear in the drawer with their last updated time and image count. Choose Open to load one back into the editor, including its layout and image adjustments.

Choose Save a copy or duplicate an existing item when you want to test a new layout without overwriting the original. This is useful for making square, portrait, and campaign variants from the same source material.

Projects are stored with IndexedDB in the current browser. The original images do not need to leave your device for this save flow, which makes it suitable for drafts and private work.

Because the library is local, it does not automatically sync between browsers, devices, private browsing sessions, or cleared browser data. Export important finished images and keep source files separately when the work matters.

A saved project can be more than a draft. If you often create the same style of image, save one clean version as a starting point, then duplicate it whenever you need a new export.

This works especially well for recurring product grids, event recaps, real estate layouts, or branded social posts. Keep the spacing, background, and watermark stable, then replace the images for each new use.

When a layout becomes a template, avoid leaving old campaign text or private screenshots inside it. Open the copy, review every cell, and only then export the new version.

Saving a project is best for work you plan to edit again. Exporting is best for the final image you want to send, upload, print, or archive outside the browser.

For important work, do both: save the project so edits remain possible, and export the finished image so you have a portable file that is not tied to one browser profile.

If you are switching devices, exporting the final image is the reliable option. The local project library is intentionally local, so it should not be treated like cloud storage.

Build one collage that represents a recurring workflow, such as a product grid or social recap, then save it with a name that includes template or master.

Duplicate it, replace the images, and export the new version. Confirm that the original project remains unchanged before using the copy for real work.

Finally, clear any temporary text or sensitive images from the copied project before saving it again. This keeps reusable local projects clean and safer to reopen later.

Projects saved in the browser live on that device and in that browser profile, so clearing site data or switching devices can leave them behind. For work that matters, export the final image and keep the source photos in a folder you back up.

Name projects by client or event and date so the library stays searchable as it grows. For handling several drafts of the same collage, see the version control workflow.
