Shape Collage is a very straightforward application. Its lightweight (less than 500kb) and only comes with the essential features in creating a collage of pictures. By using only the essential features, users can easily work with hundreds of photos without any problem because the application will not use resources just to work with images. At first glance, the application may look confusing because it lacks additional commands but after using the application a few times, you’ll know you have very a powerful and useful image editing software.

The application allows users to create a collage by transforming it into their preferred shapes. Users simply target the source of images and edit them after they are loaded in the application. Editing is very simple: users just have to choose the shape they want from the application and specify the space between photos. If the user does not like the available shapes from the application, they can create their preferred shape and the application will automatically copy the created shape. Additional configuration is also available from the application. Aside from spacing and shape, users can also specify the border photos and even the image background.

The most impressive feature of the application is the ability of the created photos to be further manipulated in other applications. Users can save the file as JPG, PNG and PSD. If you save the file in PSD, you can carefully edit the photos in Adobe Photoshop or its Open-Source alternative GIMP. When you open the file in these applications, you will notice that each photo in the collage has a separate layer. This means detailed customization is possible with this application.
