Add a Photo
The collage maker provides you the option of adding photos on top of your collage. You can add photos from your computer or from the Internet. Once you’ve added the photo, there are lots of effects you can apply to the photo. Below is a list of these effects with explanations:

- Drop Shadow – Gives the photo a shadow so that it looks like it is slightly raised.
- Antique Effect – Gives the photo a Black and White or Sepia effect to make it look like an old photo.
- Posterize Effect – This makes your photo use fewer colors, giving it a very modern effect.
