Layout from Instagram
Of course, the biggest social media on sharing photos made a proper collage app. In fact, if you are using Instagram long enough, which I’m sure you are, this app was offered to you as an opportunity to easily combine photos into a collage.
Layout is pretty simple – there are no funky frames or filters, not too many layouts – just the basic stuff. The maximum number of photos that can be made into a collage is 9.
What is great about the app though is that everything is very intuitive. You can mirror, flip, replace, zoom in and zoom out photos without searching for the right button to do it.

And that is collage making. This one is kind of unique because it allows users to make collages out of videos! It is even possible to use videos and photos together, which is awesome. There are 300 templates, an enormous amount of backgrounds and so much more.
The only problem with this app is that it is full of advertising, at least on Android, and it kind of ruins the overall impression.
However, if you think you can suffer some distractions in order to get an awesome looking collage made out of videos with cool filters and stickers and stuff, then I’m pretty sure you should download this app! A great one to make birthday cards for friends and family.
PicFrame
Okay, let’s be honest from the beginning. This app is not free (which frees you from ads and all that stuff), but it is worth considering. Especially since it is less than a dollar. PicFrame has over 70 frames and lots of different shapes to beautify your pics.
You can apply filters and shadows to your photos. You can choose the frame’s color, add text, and much more. The only thing that makes me unsure about this app is that it can use only 9 photos simultaneously, while some other apps that are free take this number up to 16.
The good thing though is that it also uses videos that you can edit and to which you can add your favorite music. One more advantage of the app is simplicity, which makes it very easy to use. So if you have an extra dollar, you can try this one!
