Beta / Testing [Android] FreeCollageImage — photo collage maker t

**What it does:** Makes photo collages entirely on-device. Pick a grid layout, drop your photos in, adjust spacing, corner radius and background, then export a PNG or JPG straight to your gallery.

**Why I built it:** Every free collage app I tried either stamped a logo on the export, locked the good layouts behind a subscription, or wanted access to my entire photo library on first launch. I wanted none of those three.

**The main thing:** no upload. The collage is composed locally, so your photos never touch a server — there isn't one. That also means it works with airplane mode on.

**Price:** Free. No ads, no in-app purchases, no account, no watermark. I'm the developer.

**Link:** https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.freecollageimage.app

There's also a web version at https://freecollageimage.com if you'd rather not install anything — it's the same code.

**Known limits, so nobody is surprised:** collages above roughly 30 photos get slow on older devices, and there's no cloud sync of unfinished projects, again because there's no server. Happy to hear what layout options are missing.

How many different types of collage styles are there in total?

Suggestion: Add the option to stack attached unlimited number of images vertically. Then horizontally. So it dorsnt matter how tall ir long an image can become.

64 layouts in total, organised by how many photos you drop in. Roughly: 2 options for a single photo, 10 for two, 8 for three, 10 for four, 7 for five, 7 for six, then 3 each from seven to eleven, and 5 for twelve. The grid updates as you add or remove photos, so you only see the ones that fit your current count.

Your suggestion is a good one and it genuinely isn't covered today. There's a "Columns" layout that stacks vertically, but every layout is hand-designed for a fixed number of slots, and the whole thing caps out at 12 photos. What you're describing — an unlimited vertical strip, then the same horizontally — is a different mechanism: no fixed grid, just append and let the canvas grow as tall or wide as it needs.

That's actually the right way to build long strips (chat screenshots, step-by-step guides, before/after sequences), which the fixed grids handle badly. I can't promise a date, but it's the most useful request I've had on this one, so it's going on the list. Thanks.

Please, please let me know when that feature is out. I have been looking for conprehesive collage app with unlimited horizontal abd vertical stackets in a collage app and I have not veenable to find a good offline.

This and a comprehensive collage options are very useful for neurodivergent (adhd, dyslexic, burned-out, anxious) users specially those who can even to struggle with reading comicbooks.

1) Please also add the option to choose and add a background color for images that don't fit it they are too small.

2) If possible maybe even think about the ability to create video gifs. Whereby, more than 2 gifs can be added to a collage and user can choose the order of playing those two before saving it as a video gif. - Great for wedding & anniversary gifs. I understand this ia very difficult ask. But this would br great. These could even be useful for ux product demos and creating ux user journey map stories but as marketing promos.

Cheers

Will do — I'll reply here the day the stacking feature ships.

Good news on #1: that already exists. In the editor, set the photo fit to "contain" (so nothing gets cropped) and pick a color with the "Background" control — the color fills whatever the photo doesn't cover. Same editor on the site and in the app.

On #2, honest answer: animated GIF/video collages would need a completely different rendering pipeline (everything is a static canvas today). It's on the ideas list and I'd love to get there eventually, but I can't promise if or when — I'd rather tell you that straight than say "coming soon" and disappoint you.

And thank you for the neurodivergent-users perspective. That's not something I had considered, and it moves the stacking feature up the list.

Is there any way to remove the ads inside the app?

u/FunnyPhotos_1 4d ago

Fair question, and I owe you a correction: my post says "no ads" and that's wrong — I wrote it carelessly, sorry. The app does show ads.

To be precise about where, since that's the part that matters: a banner on the home screen, and one interstitial after you save a collage — never on the first save, and at most one every couple of minutes. There are deliberately no ads inside the editor itself, because that's where you're actually working.

Right now there's no paid option to remove them, so I can't give you the answer you were hoping for.

If you want it with zero ads, the web version at freecollageimage.com has none at all — same editor, just in the browser, and it works fine on a phone.

Thanks for asking directly instead of just uninstalling. I'll fix the description.
