The invention discloses a picture synthesis method, and the method comprises the steps that a first mobile terminal and a plurality of second mobile terminals are connected through a WIFI, or are connected to the same local area network; the first mobile terminal receives a plurality of pictures, taken by the plurality of second mobile terminals, of the same object, wherein each second mobile terminal takes one picture, and the plurality of pictures are instantly transmitted after being taken by the second mobile terminals; the first mobile terminal enables the pictures to be synthesized with a basic picture, taken by the first mobile terminal, of the object. The invention also discloses a picture synthesis device and a mobile terminal. The method solves a problem that the synthesis time of pictures taken by a single mobile terminal for many times is longer in the related technologies, enables the pictures, which are nearly taken by the mobile terminals at the same time, to be synthesized through the mobile terminal, shortens the picture synthesis time, and improves the user experience.
