Some days don't fit in one photo. Put the birthday, the trip or the before and after together in one collage. Free layouts save free, with no watermark and no ads. AT A GLANCE • Pick your photos and they drop into a layout right away, ready to save • Photo grids, side by side, top and bottom, or one big photo with a strip of smaller ones • Drag the lines, set the borders, round the corners, slide each photo until every face fits • Save to Photos, or share to the family chat, Facebook or Instagram Stories • Your work saves as you go and stays in Projects, ready to change later FAMILY, BIRTHDAY AND TRIP COLLAGES The grandkids, all in one picture at last. Every face from the reunion. The six best shots from the beach instead of forty in a row. A photo collage says "look at this" in a single picture, and it's the one everybody saves from the family chat. BEFORE AND AFTER, SIDE BY SIDE Two photos and one line between them: the kitchen before and after the remodel, the haircut, the garden, the fitness journey, the job you just finished. Put them side by side or top and bottom, and drag the line to give either one more room. Proof, in one picture. PHOTO GRIDS AND LAYOUTS YOU CAN ADJUST Choose your photos and Ink shows the layouts made for that many, from a pair to a full grid. The first one is already in place, so a collage can take one tap. When you want it just right, everything moves: drag the line between two photos, set the borders from none to wide, round the corners, pick the border color, and zoom and slide each photo into place until nobody's head is cut off. Long-press a photo to swap it with another. Free or Premium, every layout adjusts the same way. CAPTIONS, STICKERS AND PHOTO FRAMES Underneath the collage maker is a real editor. Give each photo its own filter and a touch of warmth or brightness, so pictures from different phones sit well together. Add a name or a date, a few stickers, or one more photo in a heart, circle or arch frame. Undo is always one tap away. SAVE AND SHARE, NO WATERMARK Save to Photos, share to any app, send it straight to Instagram Stories, or copy it to paste into a message. Saved images never carry a watermark, and Ink has no ads, not even on the way out. It all stays in Projects, so next week you can swap in a better photo and save it again. A COLLAGE MAKER AND PHOTO EDITOR IN ONE Photo collage, pic collage, photo grid, layout maker, picture editor: whatever you call it, Ink puts your pictures together and saves them clean. Free layouts, templates, fonts, frames and stickers to start with, and no watermark on what you save. Ink Premium unlocks every layout, including the curves, waves and arches and the ones for big groups, plus premium fonts, frames, icons and templates and custom sizes. Anything Premium wears a crown, so you know before you tap. The photos you love belong together. Go put them there. Your Ink Premium subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. You can manage app subscriptions in your iTunes Account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when you purchase a paid subscription.
