What is a video collage maker?

A video collage maker puts several photos or video clips together in one video. In Pictory you add them to a scene as layers, resize and position each one, add music and captions, then download the video collage as an MP4.

You place every piece. Pictory works as a collage video maker for photos, clips or both. Put two clips side by side for a split screen video, or fill one frame with the best shots from a trip, a launch or a party.

The AI video collage maker can also fill a gap: describe a picture and AI Studio generates it, ready to add as a layer. It runs in your browser and is free to try. For other ways to turn pictures into video, see image to video.

Collage or montage?

A collage shows several visuals together. A montage joins them one after another. For that, use the video montage maker. For photos shown one at a time with music, use the slideshow maker.
