Photo collages are a hugely popular way to collate your
photos – and this should be no surprise as we all carry a camera around with us
at all times and take more snaps than ever before. Gathering these images in a collage
is a great way to present your image library or a snapshot of your life on one
page.
But photo collage making can be a laborious (if rewarding)
task if you use Photoshop CC or similar – you may need the assistance
of some Photoshop tutorials to get you started. However you could
take some of the effort out with a collage maker.
Facebook-owned Instagram has released Layout, an app
designed to help people create collages of their images and share their
creations via social media. Although only on iPhone just now, an Android version
of Layout is reportedly in the tubes and scheduled to arrive soon.
Layout lets you select and rearrange images by dragging and
dropping. You can also control the size of images by pinching. When you're
done, you can easily save, and share your collage across your social media
networks.
The guys behind Capcam – called Germany 's Best-Kept Secret (and
they may well be) – reckon that the best way for us all to tell our life
stories is with collages and captions. That's why the collage maker takes
centre-stage in this cool iPhone app, which makes collating and captioning your
treasured images simpler than a simple thing.
Photovisi is a stand-alone collage maker with no fripperies
and no photo editing tools to distract and confuse – and it's all the better
for it. It is the easiest to use of all the apps on this page – you select a
collage design, add your photos and drag them around till you're satisfied,
then download it. What could be easier?
Picasa is Google's image organiser and photo editor (which
is soon to be phased out and replaced by Google Photos), but did you know it
comes with a built-in collage maker? You can experiment with six different
collage types in the hands-on collage creation screen, and they will be saved
in your 'Collages' folder. Hopefully this feature will be carried over into
Google Photos…
