Question 1

Is NextCollage free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every feature — templates, editing, filters and full-resolution export — is free, with no account and no watermark.

Question 2

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. NextCollage runs entirely in your browser. Photos are held in local browser storage (IndexedDB) and the collage is rendered on your own device, so nothing is transmitted anywhere.

Question 3

What file formats can I export?

Accepted Answer

PNG, JPEG and WebP, at 1× to 4× the design size or an exact long-edge pixel size, with optional transparency. You can also copy the finished collage straight to the clipboard.

Question 4

Can I design my own collage layout?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Set any grid from 1×1 up to 12×12, then merge a rectangular block of cells or split any cell horizontally or vertically. Layouts you build can be saved to your own template library.

Question 5

Does it work on a phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The studio has a touch layout with a bottom bar, drawer panels and pinch-to-zoom framing, so you can build and export a collage entirely on a phone or tablet.
