pics.collage

A free photo collage maker that installs on an iPhone (or anything) as a PWA. Made because the App Store collage apps went subscription.

Use it: https://pics.collage.pit.world (or https://pics.collage on Moshpit). On iPhone, open it in Safari, tap Share → Add to Home Screen, and it runs full screen and offline like an app.

What it does

• 25 grid layouts plus Freestyle (loose photos with white frames you can toss around)
• Photos from the camera roll: drag to reposition in a cell, pinch to zoom, swap, replace, fit
• Pinch / twist / drag any photo, sticker or text; corner handle for one-finger scale and rotate, × to delete
• 160 emoji stickers, text in 10 fonts with outline / shadow / label styles and quick picks
• Backdrops: colors, any color picker, gradients, patterns (dots, stripes, hearts, stars, confetti…)
• Border spacing and rounded corners; sizes Square, 4:5, Story 9:16, 3:4, 4:3, 16:9
• Filters: B&W, Noir, Sepia, Warm, Cool, Fade, Vivid
• Undo / redo, autosave, a "My collages" gallery
• Save at 2048 px straight to Photos through the share sheet

Nothing is uploaded. Photos and projects live in IndexedDB on the device; there is no server code, no account and no tracking.

Develop

npm run dev      # builds dist/ and serves it on :5173
npm run build    # dist/ only
npm run deploy   # build + rsync to dev2

src/ is plain HTML/CSS/JS with no dependencies. build.mjs bakes in the Profullstack ring footer and the pit.world footer, rasterizes the icons with headless Chrome (CHROME= to point elsewhere) and versions the service worker.

Hosting

pics.collage is a Moshpit name (ending .collage, owned by riotcoder) pointing at dev2, where nginx serves /var/www/pics.collage (vhost in deploy/pics.collage.conf, installed as /etc/moshpit/templates/pics.collage.conf so cert renewals keep it). The pit.world relay serves it on the old internet at pics.collage.pit.world.
