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. • Choose classic grids, diagonal cuts or circular layouts for your Split composition. • 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. Three tries come with the one-time purchase. 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. 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, and adds three Reimagine tries. With Family Sharing your whole family shares the unlimited saves too. Tilea. All collage, no clutter.

One picture, made from your memories. Choose a main photo and a collection of pictures you love. Manyframe arranges your photos into tiny tiles that come together as one larger image. Zoom in to see the individual moments, then step back to see the bigger picture. MAKE IT YOURS • Change the main photo whenever you like. • Choose tile photos with your phone's photo picker or import a device album. • Use up to 500 tile photos through album import; the system picker may allow fewer in one selection. • Adjust tile detail and color blending, and allow photos to repeat for a fuller mosaic. • Compare your creation with the original and explore it at up to 8× zoom. • Save a JPEG to your photo library or open your phone's share sheet. FREE TO CREATE Make, save, and share mosaics in 2K or 4K for free, without watermarks. An optional one-time purchase unlocks 8K output for extra detail. The price is shown by your app store before you buy. No subscription, ads, or limits on how many mosaics you create. TRY IT FIRST A ready-to-use sample lets you make your first mosaic before granting photo access. ON YOUR DEVICE Your photos are processed on your phone or tablet. Manyframe does not upload them. No sign-up is required. Apple or Google handles payment if you choose the optional 8K upgrade. Album import uses photos available in your device's library; cloud-only photos may need downloading through your system photo picker. Albums larger than 500 photos import the newest 500. Animated pictures use a still frame. Keep the app open while creating, and save mosaics you want to keep: projects are not stored between sessions.
