Mosaic Photo & Video Collage
Create multimedia collages
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Create photo and video collages with 345 built-in layouts, custom layout editing, freeform Jumble mode, tile customization, support for photos, videos, and Live Photos.
Mosaic is a versatile collage creation app that allows you to arrange photos, videos, Live Photos, and empty tiles using one of 345 built-in layouts or your own custom layouts created in the collage editor.
Tiles are defined by adjustable width and height factors, can contain media or remain empty, and support customizable metadata including titles, opacity, border width and color, and corner radius.
The editor provides tools for adding, removing, replacing, cropping, rotating, and editing media, as well as managing tiles and creating cropped image variants.
Mosaic automatically generates icons for custom layouts and includes a unique "Jumble" mode that randomly positions tiles for freeform arrangements that can be manually adjusted.
Layouts also define collage dimensions, background colors or patterns, and tile spacing, while randomization tools can automatically vary tile sizes, opacity, borders, colors, and corner curvature to create distinctive visual effects.
more * Mosaic now uses a dark appearance throughout the app.
* Refreshed help documentation with improved readability and updated content.
* Updated references from “Camera Roll” to “Photo Library.”
* Updated main view button icons.
* Other improvements and minor bug fixes.

Built-in and custom layouts can be shared easily. This is particularly useful for sharing layouts with other users or the macOS version of Mosaic. Go to the `Share` menu in the toolbar at the bottom of the view, and select either `Share or Save Built-In Layout` or `Share or Save Custom Layout`. You will be presented with the corresponding grid of layouts to pick from.
The layouts picking grids will always select the layouts that best matches the current number of photos even if not an exact tile count match.
If a layouts with fewer tiles than the current number of collage photos and videos an option (with confirmation) to remove the excess photos and videos is provided. Empty tiles will always be removed before chosen photos and videos.
Some UI issues related to Dark mode appearance have been resolved by forcing the app to appear in light mode only.
All the thumbnails for the built-in layouts have been updated to include tiles indices to help count how many tiles a layouts has.
The video blender progress includes estimated time for completion since generating video collages can be time consuming.
2.1.7 15/02/2024
Maintenance update.
2.1.6 23/05/2023
Tile photos can be conveniently edited from the 'Tile Actions' menu presented when you tap on a tile in the collage. Tap on a tile and select 'Edit Photo' to display image editor where photo can be cropped, labelled, enhanced and more.
Added HDR video support across all features by converting HDR to SDR to improve colors.
Other recent updates:
Added 297 built-in templates to the Layout tab of the main view. (That makes a total of 345 built-in layouts.)
The ability to manage collage size has been improved - manage it from the 'Share' menu.
Other minor improvements include enhanced feedback when rendering a collage to save.
FIX: Cancelling media retrieval is more responsive. Cancelling the retrieval of multiple items, or items that were not downloadable due to some external issues, was not always successful.
FIX: The audio of some videos may be missing from video collages. Under certain conditions the audio was not loaded.
FIX: If a video collage generation is cancelled the last tile may have its video inadvertently deleted during cleanup.
NEW: The media picker now supports multiple selections so you can create collages with mutliple photos and videos more easily without need to repetively open picker for each selection. This feature is available from the ‘Photos’ button menu item named ‘Camera Roll’.
FIX: The thumbnail size slider in the media list organizer has been fixed. Access the media list organizer from the 'List' button.
NEW: Can delete a tile from the main view using its tile menu - tap on the tile to display the tile menu.
FIX: When you add a new tile in the edit view its border color was not matching the selected tile.
FIX: The color picker brightness control was obscured on some devices. The preview collage during generation was not properly positioned relative to the status bar on some devices.
NEW: 'Date Labels / No Date Labels' option in the Share menu to include dates in the rendered collage.
NEW: 'Bigger Collage / Smaller Collage' option in the Share menu to possibly produce higher resolution collages (actual size depends on other considerations also).
NEW: 'Item Info' menu item in each tiles contextual menu that reports info inc. size, creation date and location. (Tap tile to display menu)
NEW: Photo collage preview shows the collage pixel dimension (useful for comparing the new Bigger/Smaller collage option)
FIX - Background photos were not properly scaled or cropped to the collage size.
FIX - The ‘Cropped Mosaic Collage’ feature may miss cropped videos if the app moved to the background ex. switched to another app while it was cropping.
FIX - The ‘Cropped Mosaic Collage’ cropped videos would have a creation date of the date cropped rather than the date of the video being cropped.
IMPROVED: Some menu item ephemeral alerts have been replaced by active alerts that require dismissal when selected inc. Zoom Photo To Video, Clip Photos To Bounds, Fit Label Inside Border, Show Layouts In 1 Row, Render Index Labels, Only Swap Photos, Crop Photos.
IMPROVED: Photo menu has been simplified using a submenu for less common items, the photo to video zoom option is restored on launch.
Introduced a new collage type named 'Cropped Mosaic Collage' where a single media item (video, photo) is cropped into the whole current template layout. Each crop is actually applied to a scaled crop rectangle based on the tile thereby producing a special effect via an irregular mosaic:
NEW - Photos menu item 'Cropped Mosaic Collage': prompts for media (video, live photo. gif, etc) to be cropped into the current mosaic layout (template). Using the tile as 'crop rectangles' the photo and video for selected media will be cropped and inserted into each tile for blending *afterwards*.
NEW - Tile menu item 'Cropped Mosaic Collage': Similar to the Photos menu item by the same name but uses the tiles existing video rather than prompting you for media.

FIX - In the collage editor 'Paste' was not refreshing the collage when there was no selection; so the pasted tile was not immediately visible.
Improved video color preservation, especially skin tones, during certain load and edit operations.
New: Tile videos can be previewed, shared and replaced from the main view (previously only in edit view). Tap on a tile to access the tiles menu.
Bug fix: When setting the background photo any previous background that was a tiling of a photo was not cleared, and it may appear the collage has two backgrounds at the same time.
Issue fix for iOS 13: Generated videos were displaying only 'inline' and not full size in the Messages app. When you tapped on a video to view it full size the Messages player would simply state that it was a video, rather than play it.
Added video and live photo support.
The image picker enables you to also select videos and live photos, as well as regular photos.
You may then generate a plain photo collage, or a video collage, to share.
Tile metadata such as border color, corner radius, tile opacity and labels apply to video collages.
Jumble view and all templates support video. Editing tiles in the edit view has been updated to support video where possible.
2.0.7 06/12/2019
Introducing a new collage type named 'Cropped Mosaic Collage' where a single media item (video, photo) is cropped into the whole current template layout. Each crop is actually applied to a scaled crop rectangle based on the tile thereby producing a special effect via an irregular mosaic. This feature is available in two ways:
NEW - Photos menu item 'Cropped Mosaic Collage': prompts for media (video, live photo. gif, etc) to be cropped into the current mosaic layout (template). Using the tile as 'crop rectangles' the photo and video for selected media will be cropped and inserted into each tile for blending *afterwards*.
NEW - Tile menu item 'Cropped Mosaic Collage': Similar to the Photos menu item by the same name but uses the tiles existing video rather than prompting you for media, and does not replace all the current template tiles with the cropped media but rather creates the cropped version of the same *now*.
NEW - Tile menu item 'Clear Photo and Video': removes the tiles photo and video so it is marked 'empty', so no need to enter the template editor to do the same.
Previous updates:
NEW - Every tile displays its associated video duration, and the date of the media item in the combined format 'mm:ss, dd/mm/yy'. Every tile has a video - even static photos for which a 'zoom' option is available from the Photo menu.
NEW - A short completion sound is played when video generation is completed.
FIX - In the collage editor 'Paste' was not refreshing the collage when there was no selection; so the pasted tile was not immediately visible.

Issue fix for iOS 13: Generated videos were displaying only 'inline' and not full size in the Messages app. When you tapped on a video to view it full size the Messages player would simply state that it was a video, rather than play it.
Bug fix: After a video collage was completed the original photos were restored out of order if there were more than 10 of them, or possibly not at all.
Added video and live photo support.
The image picker enables you to also select videos and live photos, as well as regular photos. When you do the video or live photo video is added together with an appropriate photo.
You may then generate a plain photo collage, or a video collage, to share.
Tile metadata such as border color, corner radius, tile opacity and labels apply to video.
When you load a video or live photo a representative image will be the tile photo. Conversely, when you load a static photo a short video, optionally with zoom, is created.
The Jumble view and all built in templates support video, as well as your own custom templates. Editing tiles in the edit view has been updated to support video, except photo edit and crop operations only apply to the tiles photo and not video.
