PhotoCollageApp vs Shape Collage

PhotoCollageApp creates collages from photos selected on Android and iOS devices. It offers grids, multi-frame designs, and layouts prepared for occasions, with controls for spacing and rounded corners. Users can apply filters and add text or emojis. Export sizes are provided for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, X/Twitter, and Pinterest. The site describes exports as high-definition and without watermarks. The Free plan is free and includes high-resolution collage creation and export; optional frame add-ons are available, and the pricing note lists a 3-day trial. The privacy policy says photos and collages remain on the device instead of being uploaded to the app or third-party servers. It says no personal data is collected or stored, while Google Firebase supports crash analytics and may collect technical information. Photo and storage permissions are needed to select images and save collages locally, and can be revoked in device settings. The app is available through the Apple App Store and Google Play.

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.
