Welcome! This takes about 30 seconds. Three steps.
Install it free from the Google Workspace Marketplace:
Google asks for permission → approve. The add-on only requests Slides access and the sidebar UI (it doesn't ask for Drive or your email).
You get the 28 free templates and a 7-day Pro trial right away. To keep all 60 templates for good, buy a Pro license (step 3).
Open any Google Slides™ presentation (or create a new one at slides.new). In the top menu: Extensions → Photo Collage Grid → Open Collage Panel.
The sidebar opens on the right. You can already use the 28 free templates right away.
In the sidebar, click the Get Pro button (purple, top-right area). A modal opens with a license key field.
Copy the license key from your Gumroad receipt email (subject: "Your Photo Collage Grid license") — it looks like XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX.
Paste it in the field → click Activate.
All 60 templates are now available + styling (spacing, borders, background color, palette presets). Pro stays unlocked on this Google Account™ across every Slides file you open.
"That key isn't valid" — Copy the key directly from the Gumroad receipt (no extra spaces). If still failing, email us — we'll respond within 24 hours.
"This license is already activated on another Google Account™" — Your key is bound to whichever Google Account™ first activated it. To transfer it to this account, email us your license key and we'll reset it.
The sidebar doesn't open — Reload the Slides tab (Cmd+R / Ctrl+R) and try again. If the menu doesn't show, uninstall the add-on and install it again, then reload the Slides tab.
