How to Make a Photo Collage for Facebook

Facebook is still the biggest social network in the world, with over 1.3 billion users. Most of them share photos and videos with other people, but Facebook doesn’t have a built-in feature for creating photo collages. However, there are many third-party apps you can use on your phone to put some really cool collages together and share them on your Facebook profile.

This article will highlight the best smartphone photo collage apps for iPhone and Android devices.

Use Third-Party Apps

If you want to upload a unique photo collage to your Facebook profile you’ll need to use a third-party app to create your collage then upload it to Facebook just as you would any other photo. Here are the best apps that will allow you to do that.

Photo Blend & Shape Collage Maker

If you own an iPhone, you can create some unbelievable photo collages with the Photo Blend & Shape Collage Maker app. There are many features you can use to create something unique. You can make collages in the shape of a heart, an eagle, or many other shapes.

The app allows you to add eight photos from your gallery and select the shape of the collage you want. The photos will be trimmed automatically to fit the frame. You can then edit the collage and adjust exposure and colors. You can find many grid layouts if you want a classic-looking collage. It’s simple to use, and the results will look great on your Facebook page.

Pic Collage

Pic Collage is one of those collage apps you must have already heard about because it’s everywhere. It’s the ideal app if you are new to creating collages because it comes with on-screen instructions that will tell you everything you need to know.

The app lets you choose between a selection of grid layouts, but it also comes with a Freestyle feature that allows you to create your own frame. When you select the photos you want, you can add text, stickers, and create custom backgrounds. It comes with built-in templates for Instagram, but you can create some fantastic collages for your Facebook profile too. The app is available for both iPhone and Android users.

Photo Grid

The best part of using Photo Grid is the creation process. The app allows you to create some cute-looking collages. All you have to do is to select the template of your collage and add the photos you want. The Scrapbook feature lets you add text, stickers, and backgrounds to make your collage stand out.

You can also choose the aspect ratio when creating a collage, which is especially useful for Instagram. The creation process is straightforward, and you can even change the borders of your collage when you add the photos.

Layout

Layout is a simple photo collage maker made by Instagram. It is a basic collage maker without the extra features that can often seem a little confusing. It’s got a user-friendly interface, so you won’t even miss the additional features.

The last step is to edit your design. You can replace a photo if you don’t like how it looks, but you can also use the “Mirror” and “Flip” tools to make some slight changes. The “Borders” tool allows you to change the layout. Hit “Save” when you are done and share the images directly to Instagram. The app works on Android and iPhones.

PicStitch

Unlike most other photo collage apps, PicStitch allows you to make video collages. You can even add your favorite tune, to tell your story right. Making video collages is done the same way you would create a photo collage. Drag the clip into a frame and use the video editor to trim your video.

You can also adjust the orientation and change the speed of the video. Add a filter to make the colors of your collage stand out. When you’re happy with your creation, hit “Done” and you can download it to your device. If you want to create a standard photo collage, you can choose many different templates and add stickers and text to your collages. Upload your creations to Facebook and watch those likes rain! PicStitch works on both Android and iOS devices.

Create the Perfect Collage for Your Facebook Profile

It’s hard to come up with something unique that will help your profile stand out on Facebook. However, creating a collage of photos will show everyone that you’re a creative person with fresh ideas, so you can use that to your advantage.

The apps we selected each have unique features you can use to create your Facebook photo collages. Find the one that fits your needs and experiment with the features to put together an exciting photo collage for your profile.

After creating a collage using any of these apps, you’ll need to download it to your phone. Once this is done, open Facebook, click the ‘Photo’ option, and select your custom image from your camera roll. Tag your friends, type a caption, use hashtags if you like, then click the option to post.

If you’re using an app that leaves messy watermarks after you download you can use your phone’s screenshot function and crop out the photo. This will save an undisturbed version of your image to your phone for better quality.

Choosing Your Facebook Layout

One of the newer Facebook features gives you the ability to choose your photo’s layout. While this isn’t a collage per se, it is another useful feature in your posting toolbox.

What makes a photo collage great isn’t just the ability to compress a bunch of images into one, it also gives the creator the ability to tell a story through photos. Rather than the standard tap an image and scroll down function, this allows you to swipe and slide to the next photo. Even more fun is the image preview.

You can choose one of the four available options before posting your photos. Simply tap the “Photo” option, select your images from your Gallery, and tap on one of the layouts available. As your friends, followers, and families scroll through their own Newsfeeds, they’ll all of your photos in one frame.
