Overview

PhotoGrid builds collages. You pick a layout, drop your photos into the cells, and adjust the spacing, borders and grid. There are thousands of ready-made layouts, from a pair of photos to ten or more. You can also place photos freely instead. Around the grids sit templates, stickers and text effects, plus AI tools for background removal, upscaling and object removal.

It runs on the web and in the iPhone and Android apps. Downloading a collage needs an account, and free exports carry a watermark. The free phone app also shows ads. VIP, Pro and Ultra are subscriptions that remove the watermark and open the full library.

When to use

PhotoGrid fits arranging a set of photos into one picture. Use it if:

  • You have several photos from one occasion and want them in a single image, without laying it out yourself.
  • You want the choice made for you. Thousands of layouts cover anything from two photos to ten or more.
  • You want to place photos freely instead. PhotoGrid states you can drag, swap or replace photos outside the built-in grid layouts.
  • You want to fix the photos before they go in the grid. Background removal, upscaling and object removal are in the same place.
  • You are decorating the result. The template, sticker, background and text libraries are large.

When NOT to use

Skip PhotoGrid if any of these describe you:

  • You want a clean export without paying. Free exports carry a watermark, on the web and in the app. PicCollage and other collage makers are worth comparing on those terms.
  • You want a designed poster rather than a grid of photos. Canva starts from a design and treats the photos as content.
  • The AI cleanup is what you want. Those tools are extras here, not the product, and a specialist will go deeper.
  • You want one editor for serious photo work. This is built around collages and social posts, not retouching.

Frequently asked questions

The layouts run from a pair of photos up to ten or more per grid, and you pick the arrangement first, then fill the cells. You can also change the spacing between photos and the border, which is what makes a grid look deliberate rather than cramped.

Yes, up to a point. It includes AI tools for removing or replacing a background, upscaling a small image, erasing an object and restoring an old photo. They cover a picture on its way into a collage. A tool built around any one of those jobs goes deeper.
