Fotor Collage

Fotor's collage maker assembles photos into grids, templates and stitched strips. There are 2000+ layouts, from classic grids to shaped and themed designs, holding from two photos to dozens. An auto-fill option arranges a large batch instantly, and a stitching tool joins a run of photos into one long image. Collages open inside Fotor's editor, so photos can be retouched in the same session.

It runs on the web and in Fotor's Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android apps, with an account syncing work between them. Collage making is on the free Basic plan, with basic templates. About half the templates in the picker are free, and the rest come with a paid subscription.

Use Fotor's collage maker if:

• You want a big template library to browse rather than building layouts from scratch.
• You have many photos: auto-fill turns a large batch into a grid without placing each one.
• You need photos stitched into one long strip, for screenshots, timelines or before-and-after runs.
• You want to enhance or retouch photos in the same tool before they go into the collage.
• You work across devices: the apps and web version share an account.

Skip it if any of these describe you:

• Your collage is part of a larger designed piece with brand fonts and elements. Canva's collage maker sits inside a stronger design ecosystem.
• You want a phone collage with no decisions to make. Phone-first collage makers are faster.
• You need print-shop control: exact bleed, CMYK. That is what desktop publishing software does, not a web collage tool.
• You dislike upgrade prompts. Premium templates and content are marked for Fotor Pro.
