April vs CollageIt

April is a photo collage app for Android and iOS that combines images with layouts, stickers, presets, and editing controls. It can select photos from a camera roll or other albums, and portrait recognition is intended to keep the chosen subject in place. Collages can contain one to nine photos in square, portrait, or landscape layouts, with sections resized by dragging. Users can adjust border width, color, texture, margins, and corner degree, then rotate, mirror, flip, or zoom photos. More than 40 filters are available, with controls for effect strength. Stickers and customizable tiles can add time, date, city, and weather. PicStrip offers full-view and large-view previews while users adjust individual images in the wider collage. April supports JPG and PNG exports and says it integrates with Instagram and Facebook for one-tap sharing. The app is free, with a monthly April VIP subscription at $1.99 a month. April is intended for personal, non-commercial use unless separately agreed with Pinguo.

CollageIt automatically arranges photos into grids and collages for sharing, printing, albums, posters, scrapbook projects, art projects, and presentations. Its desktop edition supports up to 200 photos and offers controls for page size, backgrounds, spacing, margins, rotation, frames, shadows, cropping, and randomized arrangements. On Mac, users can choose among Mosaic, Grid, Center, Pile, and Free Mode, with more than 60 templates; face recognition helps fit photos into layouts, with a live preview. Collages can be saved in formats including JPEG, PNG, PDF, PSD, TIFF, BMP, and GIF. The iOS app handles up to nine photos and collage dimensions up to 1800 by 1800 pixels, and can import from Facebook albums and share to several social services. CollageIt is available on iOS, macOS, and Windows. A free plan is available; paid licenses are listed for personal and commercial use on Windows and Mac.
