Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
There are lots of photo editing sites out there. We’ve tried them, Picasa, Picadilo, Picnik, Aviary, Citrify, Pixter, and so many more. There are just as many collage makers on the market such as InstaCollage, Photo Grid, Pic Stitch Collage Maker etc. Many of which are free apps. But have you ever heard the saying, “You get what you pay for?”
That is how every single one of these companies and applications work. We get exactly what we pay for. I am not saying they aren’t great tools or don’t do a good job. In fact, I use a few of these sites/apps myself. The thing about these sites and apps are they are designed specifically for sharing on social media such as Facebook, Myspace, Instagram, or Twitter. (there are more of those too!) But what if you want professional grade collages or need to print a cd label, create a greeting card or invitation, or maybe make a calendar as a sweet, thoughtful Christmas gift?
None of these free apps or sites offer these capabilities. In fact, they are quite limited, even in templates, clip art, and set up. (not to mention the limits to number, quality, and where to post such pictures)
I recently was given the opportunity to try Picture Collage Maker and I could not be happier! It is an affordable program that once purchased offers lifetime access and support and a 30 day money back guarantee. It is super easy to use. I can create my own template (consider the endless possibilities!) or use a template that is pre-made and easy to choose from. Each style of template is divided into categories such as Greetings, Calendar, Template, and many more. Each template is able to be personalized to be exactly how I would like it and adding pictures is super easy. I just choose the folder I would like to get the picture from, click and drag and the picture automatically sizes itself to fit in frame.
Here is an example of a Father’s Day Greeting card created for my husband. The butterflies could easily be taken off and replaced by something more “manly” or be left as they are. The Daddy can also be changed out to say Mommy, Grandma, Papa-what ever you would like it to. There are so many options from templates, to clip art, backgrounds, masks, and frames.
Picture Collage maker not only makes beautiful collages, but as you see, it can also make CD labels, greeting cards, a monthly calendar, lay outs, photo books, posters and SO MUCH MORE! It’s as simple as choosing what you want to make, picking a template, making any changes you want, and adding pictures. Voila! It’s ready to print, or you can share it on your social media sites, you can even save it to print/use later! Couldn’t be any easier. These examples took less than 10 minutes to make, yet they look professional, well put together, and can be used in a variety of ways.
This program is great for personal or commercial use. It is a great tool for me as a blogger and a mom of three very busy children, (easy gifts and adorable wall hangings) but would also be perfect for a business looking to promote itself/advertise, an owner of an at home business, or even recreational or professional photographers looking for more tools to use in their business/hobby. It is also a great tool for the avid scrapbooker. (Create pages with ease!)
I have absolutely loved working with and, admittedly, playing with, this software and making all sorts of fun projects with it. I recommend it for anyone as it is such a versatile program and offers so many options. They even offer personal or commercial software offering even more options! If you “get what you pay for”, I highly encourage you to pay for this! It will be well worth it with it’s lifetime support, registration retrieval (think computer crashes/new computer purchase), and endless possibilities. It is also available for both PC and Mac so you can rest assured it will be available no matter the computer/laptop/notebook choice you make!
