## What is Photo Composer?

Turn your photos into artistic or funny artworks quickly and easily on your iPhone, iPad or Mac.

Unleash your creativity and create stunning photo compositions and collages by adding and composing layers with images, backgrounds, patterns, colors, shapes, stickers and text.

With just one touch, you can precisely cut out people from the photo and remove, change or blur the background.

In addition, you can easily erase (mask) the contents of each layer with the eraser brush.

Place two layers on top of each other and create creative clipping masks from photos, text, shapes and stickers.

With easy-to-apply filters and blending effects, create quickly eye-catching compositions and messages perfect for sharing on your social media.

Thanks to the integrated filter preview for the selected photo layer, you can quickly find the effect or filter you want.

Partially delete (mask) the filter effect and leave parts of the photo untouched by the filter.

Find matching colors for your composition in the predefined color and gradient palettes.

You can export your artwork to a HEIC, JPEG or PNG image with transparency.

Download the free version of the app and try out all the features. There is a limit to the number of compositions and available layers per composition in the free version.
