In their own words
Shape Collage
Shape Collage is software for automatically arranging photos into a collage in a chosen shape. You can use a rectangle, heart, circle, letter, or a shape you draw yourself, then adjust collage and photo size, photo count, spacing, background, and border colour. The maker says the automatic layout can create collages in less than a minute. Photos can come from your computer or listed web sources, including Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Dropbox, Google Drive, Google+, Google Search, Twitter, and Tumblr. Finished collages can be saved as JPEG, PNG, or Photoshop PSD files. The free version is for personal use; Pro removes watermarks and adds manual photo editing, PSD export, and project saving and loading. Shape Collage runs on iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. Linux requires Java. The free plan is free. Personal Pro costs $40, paid once, and commercial Pro costs $75, paid once; both licenses cover one computer. There is no built-in print function.
