This old question asked how to combine 2 images into a single image side by side.

I want to do something different – combine 4 images into a grid.

So I have 4 png files, all the same size

+----------+  +----------+  +----------+  +----------+
|          |  |          |  |          |  |          |
|          |  |          |  |          |  |          |
|  PNG 1   |  |  PNG 2   |  |  PNG 3   |  |  PNG 4   | 
|          |  |          |  |          |  |          |
|          |  |          |  |          |  |          |
+----------+  +----------+  +----------+  +----------+

What I want to end up with is a single png file like this:

+----------+----------+
|          |          |
|          |          |
|  PNG 1   |   PNG 2  |
|          |          |
|          |          |
+----------+----------+
|          |          |
|          |          |
|  PNG 4   |   PNG 3  |
|          |          |
|          |          |
+----------+----------+

I actually have 34 sets of 4 files that I want to combine like this.

How can most easily I do this via the command line in macOS?

FWIW I currently have installed the latest versions of

  • Affinity Photo

  • Affinity Designer

  • Inkscape

So anything that fits into one of these applications would be preferred.
