Frequently asked questions about making collages
A collage maker is an online tool that lets you bring together two or more personal or stock photos, possibly adding graphics and text as well. You can have uniform image sizes for all images, or change the borders to get a puzzle-like layout. You can fill cells with background colors in solid shades, gradients, or add photo textures. Or you can use a collage template that offers more of a free-form layout.
A gridded collage tool hosts rectangular cells with easy cell and canvas resizing. Collage tools are great for showing off a whole bunch of pics while giving you creative control. A collage template, by contrast, has defined photo shapes and sizes. Collage templates often (but not always) have a more free-form look with non-rectangular, non-gridded photo shapes, and may lean towards the use of graphics in addition to photos and text. These collage designs often evoke a mixed-media vibe.
"The best collage maker offers resizable image grids, in-cell photo editing filters, and lightning fast drag-and-drop photo adding. You'll want a lot of control over sizing the overall canvas, so you can export the collage to multiple sizes. If you prefer collage templates, you'll want to find a ones that offer tippety-top design aesthetiics. Some photo collage looks can get dated over time and you want templates that are on-trend and truly meet the design moment."
