COMMON QUESTIONS Does it put a watermark on my collages? No. HD export is free and carries no watermark, no logo and no corner badge. Pro raises the resolution; it does not unlock a clean image. Do my photos get uploaded anywhere? No. Everything happens on the iPhone or iPad, including the background removal. There is no account, no cloud and no tracking. How many photos fit in one collage? From 2 to 20, across more than 280 layouts. Smart Layout arranges them for you if you would rather not pick. Does the background removal need internet? No. The cut-out runs on the device with the chip your phone already has, so it works in airplane mode. Can I build a swipeable multi-slide post? Yes. The carousel maker cuts one design into slides at the right size, and exports them in order so you can upload them as a set. What is free and what does Pro add? Free covers every one of the 280+ layouts, the full editor, carousels and HD export without a watermark. Pro adds background removal, Smart Layout, 4K, poster and transparent PNG export, and removes the ads.
