Picsart Collage Maker

Picsart's collage maker arranges photos into a layout. You pick a template, which holds up to ten photos across grids and shaped designs, and drop your pictures in. The rest of Picsart is in the same editor. A photo in the collage can have its background removed, an object erased, an effect applied or AI enhancement run on it, without exporting and re-importing. Its sticker and text library is one of the largest anywhere.

It is phone-first and runs in a browser and in Picsart's Windows, iPhone and Android apps under one account. The free plan covers everyday collage work, with free templates and stock included. The premium template, font and sticker catalogue needs a Pro or Ultra subscription.

Picsart's collage maker fits when the photos going in are not ready yet. Use it if:

• One of your pictures needs a fix. You can remove its background or erase something from it while it sits in the collage.
• You want stickers and text on the finished thing, which is where Picsart's community library is large.
• You want a layout chosen for you. The templates take up to ten photos across grids and shaped designs.
• The collage is going straight into a post, since the platform sizing and the rest of the editor are in the same place.
• You work from your phone, which is what Picsart is built around.
• The free templates cover what you need, since those are included rather than teased.

Skip Picsart's collage maker if any of these describe you:

• You want your photos fitted in without being cropped. BeFunky's collage maker builds the layout around your pictures instead of trimming them into cells.
• You want the biggest free template library. Canva's collage maker gives away considerably more designed templates.
• The look you want is behind the premium catalogue. Many of the better stickers, fonts and templates need a subscription.
• You want to compare terms across tools. Other collage makers meter their free tiers and premium content differently.
