PicCollage

Overview

PicCollage is a collage and design app for turning photos and video into collages, cards, invitations and scrapbook pages. It suits people who want flexible layouts and a broad supply of decorative assets across mobile and browser tools. Its free tier covers core creation, while premium designs and advanced features sit behind VIP.

Key features

Adjustable photo grids let users tune layout, spacing and borders rather than settle for a fixed arrangement. AI background removal and image expansion add useful ways to isolate a subject or extend an image, while templates, stickers, backgrounds and fonts support more decorative work; weekly design additions help keep that library fresh.

Video collages extend the app beyond still images. The free trial and VIP allow up to five videos per collage and clips of up to one minute on iOS, a meaningful ceiling for short social or personal montages, but not a fit for longer edits. Text overlays, custom layouts and exports in PNG, GIF and PDF cover common finishing needs. Finished work can be downloaded in high resolution, shared digitally or printed.

Browser-based tools include background removal and blur, image resizing, AI image extension and collage creation. Users can also save work to a camera roll or share it through messaging apps, social platforms and email. PicCollage Social ended in March 2025, so the product no longer supports uploading new collages to that service or social functions such as following and liking.

VIP Cloud backup holds up to 1,000 collages, but collages containing video cannot be backed up. PicCollage says it does not use facial data for identity recognition, advertising or biometric profiling; users can delete images or their account. Its privacy policy includes rights to access, correct, erase and port data, object, and withdraw consent. The Help Center provides guides and a way to submit support requests.

Pricing

Free — 0.00 USD per free. Core collage creation and online tools cost nothing, making this a practical starting point for occasional projects. Premium templates, stickers and advanced features require a subscription, so frequent users who want the full design library will need to consider VIP.

Remove Watermark removes the watermark and, on Android, ads. Its price is custom pricing. It is the narrower option for users who mainly want cleaner exports rather than VIP’s expanded library and backup.

VIP Monthly and VIP Annual each include more than 5,000 stickers, more than 3,000 backgrounds, Cloud backup for up to 1,000 collages, and support for five videos per collage on iOS. Both use custom pricing. Monthly suits users who want a shorter commitment; annual is the longer-term choice, though no price or renewal terms are given.

Platforms

PicCollage is available on Android, iOS and the web. The one-minute video-clip limit applies on iOS, while browser users have a distinct set of image tools alongside the collage maker.

Who it's for

Choose PicCollage for photo-led cards, invitations, scrapbooks or short video montages when adjustable grids and a substantial decorative library matter. It is less suitable if you need long video clips, backup for video collages, or the former PicCollage Social community features.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Adjustable layouts, spacing and borders give more control over photo grids than a fixed template alone.
• Pro: The same product spans still collages, video, cards and scrapbooks, with browser tools for common image edits.
• Pro: High-resolution downloads and PNG, GIF and PDF exports support both digital sharing and print-oriented projects.
• Con: Premium templates, stickers and advanced features require a subscription, and VIP pricing is custom.
• Con: Video collages cannot be backed up to Cloud, limiting the usefulness of VIP backup for mixed-media projects.
• Con: Video clips are capped at one minute on iOS, and the discontinued Social features remove following and liking as ways to engage with other users’ work.

Alternatives

Compare collage maker software if you want to weigh a broader set of options. PhotoGrid is another freemium choice across Android, iOS and web, with a free tier and VIP credits, batch editing and cloud projects. FotoJet is worth considering if you want desktop operating-system support alongside web access; its free plan has basic tools and resources, and Plus costs 6.99 USD per month.

Shape Collage offers a free personal-use plan across mobile, desktop and web, with Pro required for commercial use and watermark removal. SCRL is another freemium option for Android, iOS and web. CollageIt may suit desktop users: its free Windows and Mac downloads support up to 200 photos according to its home page. Collage Pro is a web option with free core collage, long-image stitching, basic editing and export, without sign-up. CollagePhotoApp is available on web, iOS and Android. SnapLayout is limited to iOS and macOS; its free plan includes layouts and formats, up to 20 slides and exports capped at 1080px on the longest edge.

Verdict

PicCollage is a strong fit for people who want one approachable toolkit for still collages, cards, scrapbooks and short video compositions, especially when its browser image tools are useful. Its main reason to choose it is the combination of flexible grids and a large, regularly refreshed design library. Look elsewhere if video backup, longer clips, or a continuing social feed is central to your workflow.
