Frames start filled so no empty canvas shows inside a collage image frame. Original layouts usually preserve the full image because the frame ratio follows the collage image ratio. 1:1 Grid, Spotlight Hero, and Fit Canvas may crop by design. The slider enlarges the selected item, dragging moves it inside the frame, and the circular arrow handle rotates it. Dragging, zooming, and rotation are limited so the frame never shows empty space. Reset returns the selected item to its calculated placement.
Use Uploads for independent JPEG, PNG, SVG, or other browser-supported image elements on the page. SVG uploads with supported vector paths become editable elements with fill, stroke, and effects controls. Use Elements to browse the built-in vector library. Other image files are added as their own frames and can be moved, resized, enlarged inside the frame, reset, rotated, or deleted without joining the generated collage layout.
Canvas presets are starting points for common print sizes. Flip swaps width and height for landscape or portrait layouts, then Apply Size updates the current page. Designer Area borders reserve space around the generated collage for later text or design elements. Spotlight Hero works best with 12 or more collage images and keeps the selected hero image fixed while the supporting images arrange around it. Fit Canvas expands a Square-edge collage to the current designer area using the spacing value as the interior gap. Fit Canvas is disabled for Tapered edges because it would turn the tapered shape into a normal full-frame layout. Undo Fit Canvas restores the previous frame layout for the current page.
Each page keeps its own selected collage image set. Use the page controls to move the current page back, forward, to the front, or to the end. Export opens a dialog where you can choose pages, format, zipped PNG or JPEG exports, separate PDFs, or one multi-page PDF.
Smart Collage Designer can be used in the browser, bookmarked, or installed as an app window. Collage images, uploads, elements, and image backgrounds stay on your computer, and the app can reopen from its local cache after it has loaded once.
Smart Collage Designer requires a valid license file. Select the license file once and this browser remembers it unless browser data is cleared, private browsing is used, or a different browser or computer is used. Keep the license file with your Etsy purchase records. © 2026 Joshua Ayres Studios. All rights reserved.
The app remembers the current draft in this browser so work usually reopens where you left off. Clearing browser data, switching browsers, or private browsing can remove that draft. Save Project creates a portable project file with the current pages, collage images, uploads, image backgrounds, canvas settings, and layout edits embedded so you can open the project later.
