A bento grid arranges photos into modular tiles of different sizes, like compartments in a Japanese lunch box. Size carries meaning: bigger tiles pull the eye first, smaller ones support — that's how you get hierarchy without labels.
Our algorithm is a weighted justified layout, the technique behind Google Photos' and Flickr's galleries. Every photo keeps its exact aspect ratio — nothing is ever cropped. Images pack into rows left to right, then each row's height is solved mathematically so it fills the fixed width exactly, leaving zero empty space. A golden-ratio scale (φ ≈ 1.618) decides how much extra pull your hero and tall photos get over everything else, so the important shots naturally claim more room.
Turn a handful of photos into an instant bento grid — no cropping, nothing uploaded anywhere.
