Shape Collage
What it is
Shape Collage is photo collage software that automatically arranges images into a shape you choose, including a rectangle, heart, circle, letter, or a shape you draw. The maker says the automatic process can produce a collage in less than a minute. You can adjust collage and photo sizes, the number of photos, spacing, background, and border colour, then save the result as a JPEG or PNG image. Photoshop PSD export is also listed, while Pro adds manual photo editing and the ability to save and reopen projects. Photos can come from a computer or from web sources such as Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Search, Twitter, and Tumblr. The product runs on iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows; Linux requires Java. Personal use has a free plan, while the personal Pro license is $40 once and the commercial Pro license is $75 once, each for one computer. There is no built-in print function, so printing requires another program or service.
