About

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.
