Pick. Place. Done. Tilea turns your photos into a beautiful collage in seconds — no ads, no watermark, and the collage editor is a one-time purchase. Choose the photos, tap a layout, save or share. 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. • Auto-tune gives every collage the full makeover as it opens — layout, framing, background and color chosen to match your photos. Choose Light, Medium or Strong in Settings. • Photos fill their cells by default. Switch to Whole Photo to see each image uncropped against the background, then move, shrink or rotate it freely. Choose the starting mode in Settings. • Touch and hold a photo to swap it with another or remove it. The grid adjusts to the remaining photos. 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. • Carousel cuts one photo into 4:5 slides for a seamless swipe post. Story turns several photos into a set of pages, each one yours to edit. • 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. • Add a few words: up to three captions, dragged and rotated wherever you want them, in the font style, size and color you choose. • 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. • Reimagine redraws your collage or photo in a theme — anime, comics, art, nature and more — or in your own words. Your first generation is free, then Tilea Plus, an optional subscription, gives ten a week. BUILT LIKE IT MATTERS • Export in HEIC or JPEG without watermarks, with a choice of quality settings in the app. • Your collage keeps the original date, location and camera details, so it lands in your photo timeline exactly where it belongs. • Editing, Auto-tune and export run on your device — no internet required. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account needed, no ads, no tracking. Your photos stay on your device: only when you tap Reimagine does the chosen picture go to Google's AI to be redrawn, and we keep no copy. With Tilea Plus, your works can sync between your devices — photos are end-to-end encrypted, so only you can see them. Speaks 24 languages, and there's a left-handed mode that moves the floating controls to the other side. HONEST PRICING Your first 5 saves are free — the whole editor, not a crippled trial. One small one-time purchase then unlocks unlimited saves for good, on iPhone and iPad. With Family Sharing your whole family shares the unlimited saves too. Tilea. All collage, no clutter.
