PicCollage

Overview

PicCollage is an app for making photo and video collages, greeting cards, invitations and scrapbooks, with a set of image-editing tools in the browser. It suits people who want to make and share decorative personal projects across mobile and web. Its core collage maker is free, but premium designs and advanced features require a subscription.

Key features

Adjustable photo grids let users change layouts, spacing and borders, while custom layouts and text overlays provide room to shape a project rather than rely on a fixed arrangement. AI background removal and image expansion add practical editing options for isolating a subject or extending a composition. Templates, stickers, backgrounds and fonts support more decorative work, with new designs added weekly. That breadth is useful for regular card and scrapbook makers; it may be more than someone needs for a simple grid.

PicCollage also supports video collages. On iOS, the free trial and VIP allow up to five videos per collage, with clips up to one minute long. That is enough for short personal montages, but not a substitute for longer-form video editing. Finished work can be downloaded in high resolution, shared digitally or printed, with PNG, GIF and PDF export formats.

The browser toolkit includes a collage maker, background remover, background blur, image resizer and AI image extender. Users can save creations to their camera roll or share them through messaging apps, social platforms or email. PicCollage Social ended in March 2025; users can no longer upload new collages there or use features such as following and liking.

VIP includes cloud backup for up to 1,000 collages, but collages containing video cannot be backed up. That makes the backup cap useful for still-image projects, while limiting its value for people whose main use is video collages. PicCollage says it does not use facial data for identity recognition, advertising or biometric profiling, and 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 offers guides and a way to submit a request.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing and includes the core collage maker and online tools. It is a sensible starting point for occasional projects, but premium templates, stickers and advanced features require a subscription.

A 7-day trial provides a way to try paid features before committing. The Remove Watermark plan removes the watermark and, on Android, ads. VIP Monthly and VIP Annual each include 5,000+ stickers, 3,000+ backgrounds, cloud backup for up to 1,000 collages and support for up to five videos per collage on iOS. These plans suit frequent creators who want the larger design library or backup; the backup does not cover collages with video. VIP plan prices are custom pricing.

Platforms

PicCollage is available on Android, iOS and the web. The browser tools make it useful for people who want collage and image-editing options beyond the mobile apps, while the five-video, one-minute clip limit applies on iOS.

Who it's for

Choose PicCollage for personal cards, invitations, scrapbooks and short video collages, especially if you value adjustable grids, a broad supply of decorative assets and browser-based editing tools. It is less suitable if you need longer video clips, cloud backup for video projects or premium content without a subscription.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Adjustable grids, custom layouts and text overlays suit projects that need more control than a preset collage.
• Pro: A free core maker, browser tools and high-resolution exports let users create and share without starting with a paid plan.
• Pro: Weekly additions to the templates, stickers, backgrounds and fonts help keep the library current for repeat use.
• Con: Premium designs and advanced features require a subscription, so the free plan may not meet the needs of frequent creators.
• Con: iOS video collages are limited to five clips of up to one minute each, which rules out longer edits.
• Con: VIP cloud backup excludes collages with video, limiting its usefulness for video-focused users.

Verdict

PicCollage is a strong fit for people making decorative personal projects who want flexible layouts, an extensive design library and browser tools without paying upfront. Its main trade-offs are the subscription gate on premium content, short video limits and the exclusion of video collages from cloud backup. Look elsewhere for longer video editing or backup that covers every project.
