Although there are many free online collage makers available, in my opinion the top 3 are SmileBox, Photovisi and ShapeCollage.
1. SmileBox
Smile Box is a very popular free online collage maker. You can start with predesigned styles and looks, and then not only can you add photos, you can even add videos and music to your collage. It can be shared online, posted to Facebook and more, and it lets you create a very personalized and unique photo collage online with hardly any hassle at all. Here’s a video showing how easy it is to get started with Smilebox.
2. PhotoVisi
Photo Visi is another free collage editor with a number of great options. Check out the PhotoVisi demo video below.
With PhotoVisi you can choose from a wide range of themes and starting designs or styles for your collage. Then you have the choice to upload pictures from your computer, and add generic backgrounds, images and text. Once you add items, you can also move them around to your liking, crop images and more. So it’s very flexible and user friendly, and the end result can be shared online or printed up at your home computer.
3. ShapeCollage
Shape Collage is a free online service for automatically creating photo collages in different shapes.
Shape Collage Online takes photos from anywhere on the web and automatically arrange these pictures into a collage that forms a particular shape, such as a rectangle, heart, word, or symbol. The result is a digital image that looks like a pile of real photos on a table where the photos have been spread out and moved around to create a certain shape. With just a few mouse clicks and a couple of seconds, Shape Collage Online creates a unique and personalized collage that can be posted on a blog, website, emailed, or used as a desktop wallpaper.
The shape of the collage adds an extra dimension of creativity and expression to the photo collage and Shape Collage is the only collage maker that can create collages in different shapes. Shape Collage is also the only collage tool that optimally arranges the photos in the collage to maximize the use of the collage space and minimize the amount of overlap of the photos.
Besides aesthetic qualities, a collage created by Shape Collage Online also serves as an image browsing tool because the individual photos in the collage are linked to the original source, so when clicked, the user is taken to the full resolution picture or the original hyperlinked page for that photo. This is an effective method for browsing through large collections of personal photos.
For example, you could enter the URL of your Facebook page and ShapeCollage will automatically find all the photos in your Facebook photo albums. How easy is that? Then you choose the photos you want to include, as well as the shape you want the collage to be in, and in a matter of seconds it’s created for you. You can print it off or share it around the web.
There’s no need to upload any images when using ShapeCollage, which makes it convenient. However, if you want to upload images that aren’t online, you can do that too with this powerful this online photo collage tool.
How do online photo collage makers work?
First, let’s understand what an online photo collage maker does. Simply put, it allows you to choose from themes and templates including every imaginable color, shape and background to put you collage photos into. The result is a personalized and unique design. Some photo collage makers are completely online (in other words, you upload your digital photos from your computer to the collage-making site), while others are software that you download onto your computer.
When using any online photo collage editor, the first step is to make sure that you have saved your photos in a place on your computer that you can find. For most people, this is the “My Pictures” folder or the desktop. If you have problems, ask a computer-savvy friend or family member to help you the first time. After you see how they do it you’ll know how to do it yourself the next time.
The number of photos you use depends both on your preferences and the number permitted by the photo collage editor you are using. Generally speaking, the free online photo collage makers limit the number of photos you can upload, whereas if you upgrade to the paid version you can upload as many photos as you wish.
A quick browse through any free online maker website will give you an idea of what your family photo collage might look. There are many free resources available for family photo collage ideas, and once you get started I’m sure you’ll have fun. The great thing about making an online photo collage is that there’s no mistakes – everything looks great!
