Collage Maker Online Favorite: Photovisi
Photovisi Photo Collage Maker Online Sample
The collage above was made at Photovisi as a Christmas gift, and is was made with just one of 18 creative templates available for your use there at no charge. You can even do some photo editing, add text in a variety of fonts and colors, and even save your creations on their site. It is simple and FUN to create a photo collage at Photovisi. Once I finished creating the collage, I downloaded it then sent it to a local store to print. The photo collage was done in under an hour, an 8X10 copy that cost me only $2.99. How's THAT for a unique gift that is very inexpensive?
I made two of these in about 1/2 hour, one for each of my sons. See the second photo collage below, same template but different photos. Notice you can play around with the template somewhat as the two are not identical. Got digital pics on your computer? Sure you do. Choose a category and go create! It is not difficult to be a collage maker.

LOVE this free online photo editing tool called Instant Banner Creator, you can alter any image to create your own web graphics, logos, etc. This one was created using a free online graphic generator. Start with an image and then add text and shapes, etc. to personalize it.About the ads: Most 'free' products include ads and you will find lots of ads there when you login to this site.. You will have to scroll through a few pages of ads in order to enter, but it is worth it. Just scroll to bottom of first few pages (ads), then login - consider it a small price to pay to get to use this very helpful tool for free. Besides I've bought a few of their ad products, not bad.
I like this one enough that I plan to upgrade so I can do even more, but the free version still allows lots of choices.
