PicCollage

Overview

PicCollage is a collage-making app for photos, video, cards, invitations and scrapbooks, with companion image tools in a browser. It is best suited to people who want to decorate and share personal projects across mobile and web without starting with a paid plan. Its range of layouts and design assets is a strength, but premium content and some advanced features require a subscription.

Key features

Photo grids offer adjustable layouts, spacing and borders, giving users more control than a fixed template. AI background removal and image expansion can help isolate a subject or extend a composition, while templates, stickers, backgrounds and fonts support more decorative projects. Weekly design additions are a plus for frequent creators; those who need only a simple photo arrangement may not get much value from such a large library.

PicCollage also makes greeting cards, invitations, scrapbooks and video collages. Text overlays and custom layouts help adapt a design to its purpose. On iOS, the free trial and VIP subscriptions allow up to five videos in a collage, with clips up to one minute long. That works for short montages, but the clip limit makes PicCollage a poor fit for longer-form video editing. Exports include PNG, GIF and PDF; finished work can be downloaded in high resolution, shared digitally or printed.

The browser-based toolkit includes a collage maker, background remover, background blur, image resizer and AI image extender. This makes PicCollage useful when a project needs an isolated subject, a softened backdrop or a resized image as well as a collage. Finished work can be saved to a camera roll or shared through messaging apps, social platforms or email. PicCollage Social ended in March 2025, so users can no longer upload new collages there or use its following and liking features.

VIP includes cloud backup for up to 1,000 collages, but video collages cannot be backed up. That distinction matters to anyone treating the service as an archive: projects containing video need another way to preserve them. PicCollage says it does not use facial data for identity recognition, advertising or biometric profiling, and users can delete images or their account. Its privacy policy includes rights to access, correct, erase and port data, object to processing, and withdraw consent. The Help Center accepts support requests and provides guides to the app, subscriptions and privacy.

Pricing

PicCollage is freemium, with a 7-day trial and a free plan priced at free. The free tier covers the core collage maker and online tools, making it a sensible starting point for occasional projects. It gives up premium templates, stickers and advanced features, so regular creators who want the broader design library or premium capabilities will need a subscription.

Remove Watermark removes the watermark and, on Android, removes ads; its price is custom pricing. This is the narrower paid choice for users whose main concern is clean exports rather than the full VIP library. VIP Monthly and VIP Annual each include 5,000+ stickers, 3,000+ backgrounds, backup for up to 1,000 collages and, on iOS, up to five videos per collage. Both have custom pricing. They suit frequent creators who want those assets and backup, though the backup exclusion for video collages remains important. The trial lasts seven days; no renewal terms are stated.

Platforms

PicCollage runs on Android, iOS and the web. The browser tools make it possible to handle image preparation and collage creation outside the mobile apps, while iOS is the platform specifically associated with the one-minute clip limit for video collages.

Who it's for

Choose PicCollage if you make personal collages, cards or invitations and value adjustable layouts, a regularly refreshed asset library and both mobile and browser tools. It is less suited to users who need long video editing, video-project cloud backup, or premium designs without a subscription.

Pros and cons

Pros: Adjustable grids, custom layouts and AI image tools offer more control than a basic fixed-layout collage maker.

Pros: PNG, GIF and PDF exports, high-resolution downloads, sharing and print options cover several ways to finish and distribute a project.

Pros: The free plan includes core creation tools, so users can begin without committing to a subscription.

Cons: Premium templates, stickers and advanced features require a subscription, and VIP prices are custom pricing.

Cons: iOS video collages are limited to five clips of up to one minute each, and video collages are excluded from cloud backup.

Cons: PicCollage Social has ended, removing its upload, following and liking features.

Alternatives

Collage Maker Software is the broader directory option for readers who want to compare collage tools. Choose FotoJet instead if you want a free online collage maker with basic editing tools and templates, or a Plus plan at $6.99 a month.

SCRL is another freemium choice on Android, iOS and web. CollagePhotoApp is also free to download and use, with an optional subscription for premium extras. Choose PhotoGrid if its free plan's 100 MB cloud storage or VIP's batch editing for up to 10 images and 1,000 cloud projects better fits your workflow.

Shape Collage is available on iOS, Linux, macOS, web and Windows; its free plan is for personal use, while Pro is required for commercial use and watermark removal. April is an Android and iOS collage and photo-editing app, with Monthly April VIP priced at $1.99 a month. CollageIt offers Windows and Mac downloads, and its home page says it supports up to 200 photos. SnapLayout is an iOS and macOS option whose free plan includes all layouts and formats, up to 20 slides and exports capped at 1080px on the longest edge.

Verdict

PicCollage is a strong choice for people making decorated personal projects who want flexible still-image layouts, plentiful design assets and useful browser tools under one freemium service. Its free core tools lower the barrier to trying it, but the value of a paid plan depends on wanting its premium library and VIP features. Look elsewhere for longer video projects, video backup, or a paid plan whose price is fixed and published.
