Pick. Place. Done. Tilea turns your photos into a beautiful collage in seconds. Choose the photos, tap a layout, save or share. That's the whole app — and that's the point. Most collage makers are stuffed with sticker packs, filter stores and pop-ups fighting for your attention. Tilea takes the opposite road: one thing, done properly. Every screen earns its place. Every tap does exactly what you expect. MADE TO GET OUT OF YOUR WAY • Start straight from Photos: select pictures → Share → Tilea. Your collage is ready before the moment passes. • Prefer to start in the app? A fast picker that feels like Photos: pinch to resize the grid, open any photo full screen and select right there. • Layouts appear the instant you pick your photos — classic grids, diagonals, even a circle with photos fanned around it. Tap to switch, drag the borders until it feels right. • Your photos arrange themselves as they load: the best shot takes the biggest cell, and every crop centres on faces. It happens quietly, before you touch anything. • Tap Magic for the full makeover — layout, framing and a filter chosen to match your photos, all in one tap. Tap it again to undo. • Photos are free inside their frames: move, zoom and rotate them as you like — or tap Fit to show every photo whole, no cropping. • Swap any two photos with a touch, or remove one and the grid rebuilds for the rest. Everything responds instantly. ONE PHOTO, MANY TILES • Split turns a single photo into a grid: pick how many parts (2 to 9) and the photo is cut across them, flowing seamlessly from tile to tile. • Post it as a seamless carousel that your followers swipe through, as a panorama across several posts, or as a classic square grid on your profile. • The cut follows any layout you like — including diagonal and circular ones, which no ordinary grid maker will give you. • Move and zoom the photo under the whole grid at once, so the part that matters lands exactly where you want it. MAKE IT YOURS • Filters, contrast and sharpness — the everyday adjustments, applied to the whole collage at once. • Soft edges melt each photo into the background; spacing, corner radius and an outer frame set the rhythm between them. • Decor patterns lay stars, sun rays, birds, snow, hearts, sparks, mist or soft shapes over the collage — subtle, along the edges, in any size and color. • Pick the aspect ratio for where it's going: square, portrait, landscape, stories or widescreen. Background: white, black or any color you like. BUILT LIKE IT MATTERS • Full-resolution export in HEIC or JPEG — no watermarks, no downscaling. • Your collage keeps the original date, location and camera details, so it lands in your photo timeline exactly where it belongs. • Everything runs on your iPhone. No uploads, no waiting, no internet required. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Tilea has no servers, no account, no tracking. Your photos never leave your device — and never will. Speaks 10 languages, and there's a left-handed mode that moves the floating controls to the other side. HONEST PRICING Your first 15 collages are free. One small one-time purchase unlocks unlimited collages forever — and with Family Sharing, your whole family shares it too. No subscription. Ever. Tilea.

Prefer the classic look? The Fit button keeps photos neatly inside their frames — and a setting makes it the default • New diagonal layouts: split a collage by a diagonal or a slant — triangles, an envelope, slanted bands • Radial layouts: a circle in the middle with photos fanned around it — or a pie of equal slices, for any number of photos • Collage background: auto (follows light/dark), white, black, or any custom color • Share button right on the collage preview — send the result without saving first • Delete a photo right from the full-screen viewer — like in Photos • Full-screen viewer: select photos right there — a numbered badge on the photo and in the filmstrip — and jump to your collage with Combine; plus swipe down to close, like in Photos • Left-handed? A new setting moves the floating controls to the left edge, under the left thumb • The Next button is now Combine — it says what it does • Full-screen viewer opens instantly and swipes smoothly, even in a library of thousands of photos • Photo library now works like Photos: newest at the bottom, opens at your latest shots • Large photo libraries: much faster scrolling and selection, far less memory use • Quality and aspect-ratio buttons now show concrete values — like 3:4 and ≤ 24 MP • “Delete originals” is now a clear checkbox — and it works for Share and Files too, not just Save to Photos • Cancelling the share sheet no longer uses up one of your free collages • Loading photos now shows progress and can be cancelled or retried — and a stuck iCloud photo no longer freezes the Share menu • Tilea in the Share menu now opens instantly: a progress screen with Cancel appears right away, and the photos themselves load noticeably faster • Smoother everywhere: the editor stays fluid on radial layouts, fast swiping in the viewer no longer queues stale loads, and the photo feed doesn't flicker during iCloud sync • Photo swap: a friendly hint, and the long-press no longer cancels on a quick release • Small fixes: a repeat tap on the current layout no longer resets your framing, and Mirror now works after dragging the borders • Purchases: Restore in Settings now shows the result, and when the free limit runs out, the unlock screen appears right away instead of a button that doesn't respond • New About section in Settings • The unlock screen no longer locks the app: it appears once when your free collages run out, and after that only when you save — browse and build collages freely ### 1.0.76 — 2026-07-30 • New languages: Ukrainian and Belarusian — Tilea now speaks 10 languages • 30 free collages instead of 10 • The free-collage counter is now shared between the app and the Share menu ### 1.0.68 — 2026-07-20 No release notes. ## Related topics [crossfade collage](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/crossfade-collage) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
