Can I auto align multiple images into a grid?

[joshs90456837]

Hi guys,

One of the things I use InDesign for is making moodboards. I currently just place all the images onto the page then resize them individually before arranging them into a grid. It can be a bit of a laborious process if it's a big document, so I was wondering if there's any way I can place a bunch of images and then align them into a custom grid on the page? I've tried the align tool but it doesn't do what I want it to unfortunately.

It's almost like I need a few elements from Adobe Spark, but with more control...

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,

Josh

Being that all of your images are of different sizes, the only thing the Align panel can do is distribute the space between those objects. You can let the align panel calculate that space or you can specify a specific amount of space to be added between the images. It will not work however by selecting every image on the page I'm guessing because it will have a tough time understanding what it's supposed to distribute. If you have a certain layout that you use for these moodboards, you could create a layout with empty frames one time and then drop images into those empty frames.
