Make a photo collage online with WidgetClub

Start with a square grid, a heart, or a ribbon. For a 2026 recap, fill the digits in “2026” with your favorite photos. The 9:16 template works as a phone wallpaper, and the same ratio is available for photo grids. Choose a layout, add your photos, then adjust the crop and spacing in your browser. There’s no app download or sign-in required.

WidgetClub’s 9:16 collage templates show the 2026 text collage and a portrait grid, alongside heart and ribbon layouts.

Eight collage apps to try

1. PicCollage

Start with a grid, a themed template, or a freestyle canvas. Rearrange photos and add a background, stickers, or text. This is a good fit for a photo dump, a card, or a scrapbook page. Check which templates and exports are included with the plan you choose.

2. Picsart

Arrange photos in a grid or move them freely around a canvas. Use the same editor to add type, stickers, filters, or a cutout. Some effects and templates require a paid plan.

How to choose a collage app

Check the templates and how much you can change

Look for layouts that suit the number of photos you have. Try moving a photo, changing the grid, and adjusting the crop or spacing.

Look for the editing tools you need

Check the options for backgrounds, text, stickers, and filters. If you need to cut out a subject, see whether the app includes that tool.

Try the editing controls

Make a small test collage. See how quickly you can change a photo, undo an edit, and export the result.

Compare free and paid features

Check whether the free version exports at the resolution you need, adds a watermark, or limits your choice of templates. The store listing shows the available plans.

Turn a portrait collage into a Lock Screen wallpaper

Pick a 9:16 layout, add the photos you want to see every day, and save the collage as a PNG or JPG. Set it as your Lock Screen wallpaper, then use WidgetClub to add a clock, countdown, or photo widget to your Home Screen.
