PicCollage vs Smilebox

PicCollage is a collage and design app for making photo grids, greeting cards, invitations, scrapbooks and video collages. Its grid tools let users adjust layouts, spacing and borders, while AI-powered tools can remove backgrounds and expand images. Templates, stickers, backgrounds and fonts provide starting points for designs, and new designs are added weekly. Browser tools include background removal and blur, image resizing, AI image extension and collage making. Finished work can be downloaded in high resolution, shared digitally or printed; export formats include PNG, GIF and PDF. The free plan includes core collage-making and online tools, while premium templates, stickers and advanced features require a subscription. Free is free, and the pricing note also lists a 7-day trial. VIP supports up to five videos per collage on iOS, with clips up to one minute, and backs up up to 1,000 collages; video collages are excluded from backup. PicCollage says users can delete images or accounts and that facial data is not used for identity recognition, advertising or biometric profiling. Its Social feature ended in March 2025.

Smilebox is an online maker for photo slideshows about holidays, graduations, family events, and other occasions. Users can add photos, songs, captions, text, animations, fonts, and color schemes to slideshow templates. Photos may be uploaded from a computer or phone, Facebook, or Instagram, and the template categories include dozens of styles and layouts. Finished slideshows can be shared by email or social media, saved to a computer, or downloaded as MP4 files. Smilebox advertises unlimited storage for photos and slideshows. Its other products include eCards, collages, invitations, and announcements, and it describes branded slideshow options for business use. The service runs on Android, iOS, and the web. It has a free plan and a 7-day trial; the listed Free plan costs nothing, with no plan limits stated on the maker page. Smilebox says it provides technical support through a helpdesk or online portal. It also says creative content is processed to provide the service and deleted when an account is deleted, subject to the privacy policy's qualifications.
