The Best Android Picture Collage Apps

To help you compose a stunning summary of your memorable moments, we’ve rounded up the best Android picture collage apps that will minimize your social media clutter and allow your followers to get the most out of your posts. Every Android device should have Google apps pre-installed, and Photos is definitely one that is something you should explore using. Not only is it a great space to backup all the photos and videos you’ve taken using your phone, but its features-namely its collage maker-are pretty convenient. To create a collage manually, you can select up to nine photos or videos. Then after a few seconds, Google generates one for you. You can further edit your collage by hitting the pencil icon and do adjustments on lighting, color, vignette, and pop. There are a few limitations, however. As all-powerful Google products usually are, the collage option doesn’t really give the user a lot of options in terms of layout: It decides what your collage will look like for you. You can’t re-arrange the order of the photos.

However, the niftiness of Google Photos’ Assistant feature kind of makes up for it in the way it automatically generates collages from a series of photos you’ve taken. You can review them and decide which ones to save to your library. If you’re creating a photo collage specifically to post on Instagram, then you can’t go wrong with the layout app the company released specifically for that purpose. Using it is as easy as using the photo-sharing app. You can immediately see new layout recommendations every time you add a new photo. Editing your collage is even easier. You can drag photos around to swap their positions on the collage. You can resize every photo by fiddling with the handles on the grid. You can make your collage a lot more fun using the mirror and flip features. Once you save, you can instantly share on Instagram, Facebook, and other social sites.

With a very straightforward interface, you can quickly get started on creating your first collage on PhotoGrid. Like most photo-editing apps, it lets you edit your photo’s size and quality as well as slap on effects like filters, stickers, text, and doodles to maximize personalization. You can fit as many as 15 photographs into one collage. The app then recommends layouts for you to use, depending on how many photos you decide to include. With over 300 available layouts, it won’t be hard to make your collage pop. PhotoGrid has an added bonus in the form of its high-resolution export function that allows you to save good quality images onto your device or post on various social media platforms. PicGrid is a lot like PhotoGrid in the way that it provides a straightforward user experience. All the editing and effects tools are in one place (that’s easily accessible at all times), and tapping on any of the options automatically applies it onto the collage for easier previewing and redesigning. And like most photo-editing apps, it lets you save your finished product on your Android device or import it into other services.

Like the previously named apps, PicsArt Photo Studio has a variety of filters, backgrounds, and other effects you can use to make your collages pretty. The app’s best feature is a seamless photo-editing function that allows you to tweak photos individually with ease using various photo manipulation tools. When you launch the app and go into its collage feature, you are immediately given all the available layout choices to choose from, either all in one list, or categorized by the number of photos, with nine as the max. You can then add photos to the available slots one at a time, either from your phone gallery or camera. Once you have photos in the slots, you can apply certain tweaks to them individually, like orientation or filter effects. If you prefer to edit the entire collage, you can tap on the filter icon (which applies it to all the pictures).
