Photo Collage Maker

There are an abundance of things you can do with pictures on a computer. These serve as important resources in the modern multimedia world, and it doesn’t matter whether you capture them with a powerful camera, mobile phone, or create them from scratch. Chances are you simply need to bundle them in a single, cool layout, and Photo Collage Maker can help in this regard.

Add pictures one by one

First of all, you can check out the application’s set of features from the moment download is done, because it’s not packed inside an installer. You just need to make sure that the computer you plan to use it on is fitted with .NET Framework. Registry entries are not modified during runtime, so the health status of the target PC remains intact.
You’re put up against an empty window at first, with no indications as how to start. It’s not difficult though, mostly because there’s a single option in the file menu, which inevitably throws you in the creation process. A new window is brought up, which acts as the main canvas you get to populate with pictures of interest.

No effects, tags, or preset layouts

Unfortunately, drag and drop is not supported as an import method for pictures, so you need to rely on the browse dialog. Sadly, it only lets you add one picture at a time, which needs to be under the JPG format. Once added, you’re free to adjust the size of pictures, and place them in locations of interest.
There’s the possibility to add a background picture and then populate the list. However, you might want to pay attention to the order in which you add items, because you can’t adjust layers. There’s no option to include text captions, or adjust the total size of the collage.

A few last words

To sum it up, Photo Collage Maker does deliver the freedom required to manually adjust the layout of pictures on your collage. However, there are no preset styles, effects, option to manage layers, or even add text tags, which might make you look for alternatives.
