I'm looking for an application (windows or maybe web) that can be used to combine images vertically and horizontally. I usually go with PhotoScape (screenshot) to for this but that's not free nor updated anymore. Important features for me are to be able to combine horizontally or vertically, set the number or rows or columns and have the ability to resize the final image.

Thank you.

I use Photopea for this. It's a free Photoshop clone on the web so it's not quite as simple, but stacking photos and resizing the canvas is easy when you get used to it.

Does anyone know if Photopea is Open Source? I can't really find much on it.

It's closed source.

alternativeto.net is my go to resource. I don't know about this software or alternatives, so I hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. The best alternative I was able to find in that website was https://bggenerator.com/batch_image_combiner.html however it is payed and doesn't show a preview of the output.

Obvious answer but gimp can be used. To my knowledge there is no inbuilt way to do this quickly but it is a trivial amount of work to achieve the same result.

Not trivial if you've to do it dozens of times. At some point I automated the task with ImageMagick but that's also more pain than gain as most times I need to preview the output and adjust the number of cols/rows.
