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.

Fotowall is a free application for building graphical compositions from photos, pictures, text, live video, word clouds, and material dragged from the internet.
