CollageIt vs SnapLayout

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.

SnapLayout is a photo collage maker for creating social media posts: choose a layout, add photos, and export at a size suited to a platform. Layouts include split, grid, asymmetric, and single-image options, and a carousel can contain up to 20 slides with all slides exported together. Square, portrait, landscape, and custom canvas sizes are supported; changing formats reflows a design without starting again. Export presets are listed for Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Twitter/X, Facebook, and YouTube, with LinkedIn also named on the features page. PNG and JPEG are supported. Free exports are capped at 1080px on the longest edge, while premium exports can reach 4K and add text overlays. The app is available on iOS and macOS. Editing works offline and projects are stored locally; iCloud sync is not available. The maker says photos are not uploaded and an account is not required. Its privacy policy separately says app use may collect device IP address, visited pages and timing, time spent in the app, and mobile operating system.
