Read full description

Tilo is a photo collage maker that does the job properly and then gets out of the way. Free. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no paid tier holding features back. Pick a layout, drop in photos, drag the borders to size each tile, export at full resolution. NO WATERMARK, EVER There is no free tier and no paid tier, just the app. Your collage is yours. FULL RESOLUTION EXPORT Export up to 4096 x 4096 and see the actual pixel size and file weight before you commit. Most collage apps quietly cap you at 1080px unless you pay. Tilo has nothing to sell you. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No account to create, no cloud to sync to, and no networking code in the app at all. No ads, no analytics, no tracking. YOUR COLLAGES STAY EDITABLE Tilo saves which photos you used and what you did to them, never a flattened image. A collage you made in March is still fully editable in December, with undo for every change. WHAT'S IN IT - Forty layouts for 2 to 9 photos, and drag any border to resize the tiles - Add or remove photos at any time; the layout adapts - Text with four typefaces, six colors, and shadow or label backing - Canvas shapes: square, 4:5, 3:4, 9:16, 16:9 - Pinch, drag and rotate any tile; swap tiles by dragging one onto another - Grout, corner radius and outer margin, all adjustable - Background in solid colors, gradients, any color you pick, or a blur of your own photo - Six filters with a strength slider, per tile or across the whole collage - Undo and redo for everything - Export as JPEG, HEIC or PNG; save to Photos or share - Works on iPhone and iPad Built with Apple frameworks only. No third-party SDKs.

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.
