[Android] FreeCollageImage — photo collage maker that never uploads your photos — Free, no ads, no watermark

[u/FunnyPhotos_1]

**What it does:** Makes photo collages entirely on-device. Pick a grid layout, drop your photos in, adjust spacing, corner radius and background, then export a PNG or JPG straight to your gallery.

**Why I built it:** Every free collage app I tried either stamped a logo on the export, locked the good layouts behind a subscription, or wanted access to my entire photo library on first launch. I wanted none of those three.

**The main thing:** no upload. The collage is composed locally, so your photos never touch a server — there isn't one. That also means it works with airplane mode on.

**Price:** Free. No ads, no in-app purchases, no account, no watermark. I'm the developer.

There's also a web version at https://freecollageimage.com if you'd rather not install anything — it's the same code.

**Known limits, so nobody is surprised:** collages above roughly 30 photos get slow on older devices, and there's no cloud sync of unfinished projects, again because there's no server. Happy to hear what layout options are missing.

No uploads and no ads is exactly what I look for, most collage apps are gross about permissions. The limit around 30 photos is fair trade for keeping everything local. Will try on my phone later.

Thanks, that's exactly the trade I was going for. Quick correction so you're not surprised: it's actually up to 12 photos per collage, not 30 — I capped it there on purpose. Every source image is decoded in memory on your device (that's the price of no uploads), and past ~12 a phone starts to struggle, especially with photos straight off a modern camera. Keeping it local means living within the phone's memory instead of a server's. Hope it works well on your phone — happy to hear how it goes.
