I thought I had tried out all the photo collage tools out there, but a reader left me a comment about Scrapwalls.com and I was amazed! This website lets you upload pictures, make them into a shape collage, and order high-quality prints. You can share ScrapWalls collages online for free on Facebook or via a direct link. Each collage can include hundreds of pictures arranged however you like.

I love the variety of shapes - wedding, wedding kiss, US map, paw, wedding cake, mountain, tree and even a teddy bear! Other services have some interesting shapes but the technology that differentiates ScrapWalls from other software is its patent-pending auto-placement engine. ScrapWalls will automatically arrange photos to cover any shape without gaps or overlapping - something you can't get anywhere else!

But that isn't all. ScrapWalls also lets you place photos anywhere you want. It will automatically adjust surrounding photos to eliminate gaps and overlapping, leaving a picture-perfect shape collage!

Besides the aesthetic nature of these collages, they can also serve as image browsing tools because the individual photos in these online collages can be clicked to take you to the high resolution photo or the webpage that was linked to by the original image. This is particularly interesting when you use images from sites like YouTube, Amazon, eBay, or news websites, because it lets you visually scan through a large number of videos, shopping items, or news articles very quickly, and then you can click on the ones that interest you.

So many precious moments are captured by a photograph, packed away in a box or album, or sitting on your hard drive. Cherish those special moments by displaying them for all to see.

Using Mazaika you can make professional looking mosaic pictures from almost any kind and type of image files. Mazaika is the ONLY photo mosaic application that allows manual changes to every single tile in the finished mosaic. If you don't like an image, substitute it with another matching candidate image! You could even insert specific images as a sort of personal signature, or as a hidden picture riddle (as in a "Where are they?" puzzle book). Or you might need to make sure that a particularly well-liked image is not passed over as a tile; for example that Uncle Bob appears somewhere in your final mosaic. Wherea most of the mosaic and collage tools we have reviewed are web based, Mazaika is released as shareware software you download - including a free trial version.

Frintr creates a collage of all your friend's profile pictures and tries to arrange them in such a way that when viewed from a distance they appear to form another image, most often your own profile picture. For best results you will need at least 50 friends, the more friends, the more profile pictures you can use and so the more detailed and less repetitive the final collaged Frint will appear.You can make as many low resolution (600x600) collages as you want, free of charge, if you'd like a higher resolution version then you can pay for a digital download or have an A3 print posted to you.
