CollageIt review
A capable collage maker for large projects, with a relatively costly paid license.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CollageIt is photo collage software for Windows and Mac, with a separate free iOS version. It suits people creating large desktop collages for printing, sharing, or wallpaper use. Automatic collage generation builds grids from imported photos, while templates, layout styles, spacing, margins, rotation, and sparse-layout settings provide control over the result. Projects can include up to 200 photos, and the software supports editable text overlays alongside cropping, borders, shadows, masks, and effects.
The standout feature is the combination of automatic generation and Free Mode editing. Users can move, resize, and rotate photos manually, then refine backgrounds, borders, shadows, and other visual settings. Export options include JPEG, PNG, PDF, PSD, TIFF, BMP, and GIF, giving print-focused users several file choices. Sharing options include email, Facebook, Flickr, and desktop wallpaper. This makes CollageIt a stronger fit for structured collage projects than for a narrow, single-template workflow.
Pricing uses a freemium model. CollageIt Free provides automatic collage creation but places watermarks on exports. Personal licenses for Windows and Mac cost $39.90 one-time and cover up to 2 PCs or 2 Macs, while commercial licenses cost $59.90 one-time and cover up to 5 PCs or 5 Macs. The product is a good choice for users who want desktop editing, high photo capacity, PDF export, and a one-time purchase. Those who need watermark-free output without paying, or who require broader commercial device coverage, should look elsewhere.
