The best photo collage apps for iPhone

PicCollage focuses on grids, cards, stickers and video collages. Canva is a general photo and video editor with collage tools and templates. For Instagram carousels, SCRL and Glassy are built around multi-slide layouts, and Glassy adds layers that cross slide edges, Liquid Glass and real music and workout data. For a plain grid with no new app, the built-in Shortcuts app can combine photos.
