PhotoGrid is a collage maker and AI photo editor that runs in the browser at photogrid.app and as iOS and Android apps. It is pitched as a single place to "Create images, videos, collages, and more with PhotoGrid’s all-in-one AI creative workspace." In practice that covers three layers: template-driven collages and layouts, one-click photo fixes such as background removal and upscaling, and credit-metered generation of images and short videos with third-party AI models.
The service is operated by Jupiter Palace Pte. Ltd., the company named in the Terms of Service and listed as the seller of the iOS app. The Android listing names a different developer account, PhotoGrid Corporation. Legal documents are hosted on a Grid Plus domain rather than on photogrid.app, and the store listings link to the same documents.
Before choosing it, note that free use is narrower than the tool pages suggest, paid plans are metered in monthly credits, and official pages disagree on commercial use and on whether uploads are stored.
The collage maker has the most detailed controls:
The Android app has its own limits: its listing says it can "Re-mix up to 16 of your photos at a time to create fun, personalized layouts, and collages," and its video grid mode is described with "Up to 4 Videos." The web and app limits therefore differ.
Beyond collages, PhotoGrid bundles single-purpose AI tools:
These tools chain together: an image cleaned with the magic eraser can go straight to the image enhancer, and cut-outs can be dropped into collage layouts.
PhotoGrid also sells access to generative models it does not make itself. The homepage promises to "Access the latest image and video generation models from leading AI companies—all within PhotoGrid, without switching between platforms." Its menus name model families such as GPT Image 2, Nano Banana, Seedream, Kling, Seedance, Veo, Wan and PixVerse. Output quality therefore depends on the underlying model.
An Agent mode sits on top: "The Agent understands your request, chooses the right AI skill, and helps you edit photos, make collages, generate images, or create videos through a simple conversation."
A video effects library turns photos into short animated clips from preset themes, grouped into categories such as baby, AI dance, Christmas, events, kiss and hug, with templates like Birthday Magic and Money Rain.
The collage page lays out a three-step flow:
The watermark remover uses the same three selection modes.
The official pages point to a handful of concrete jobs:
For print or client work, the commercial-use terms conflict between official pages; the Limitations section quotes both.
PhotoGrid suits people who want finished visuals without learning a full editor:
It fits less well for:
Membership handling differs by where you pay. The help center says "You can access your Premium membership on Android, iOS, Web by upgrading Premium on PhotoGrid official website." The Android listing adds app-only premium perks such as "Create VideoGrids up to 3 minutes long" and an ads-free experience.
The pricing page has Monthly, Yearly and Credit Pack tabs. Paid amounts are filled in by the browser; the table uses the amounts served by PhotoGrid's own pricing data, in USD, captured on September 28, 2026.
| Plan | Monthly billing | Yearly billing | Monthly credits | Stated capacity | Batch edit | Cloud projects |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | $0 | Not listed | Standard tools, basic collages, 100 MB storage, watermarked exports | Not listed | Not listed |
| VIP | $7.99 | $33.99 | 180 | Up to ~180 images or ~18 videos | Up to 10 images | 1,000 |
| Pro | $15.99 | $95.99 | 500 | Up to ~500 images or ~50 videos | Up to 20 images | 5,000 |
| Ultra | $59.99 | $359.99 | 2,000 | Up to ~2000 images or ~200 videos | Up to 50 images | 30,000 |
The "up to" image and video counts are ceilings, not guarantees: the FAQ says "Different tools may consume different amounts of credits." When credits run out, "You can wait for your credits to refresh in the next billing cycle or upgrade to a higher plan." All paid tiers list unlimited fast AI editing and commercial usage rights. Model access differs: VIP lists core AI models, Pro lists all AI models, and Ultra lists priority access to new models, while Pro and Ultra add processing priority.
The Credit Pack tab sells one-time bundles outside a subscription. The pricing data lists six packs, from $5.99 for 100 points up to $200 for 10,000 points, with $14.99, $39.99, $100 and $150 steps in between.
Alternatives depend on whether you mainly want collages or AI photo fixes.
| Alternative | Where it shows up | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| PicCollage | App Store results for a PhotoGrid search | Collage-focused mobile app from Cardinal Blue Software |
| LiveCollage, Layout, SCRL | Same App Store results | Other mobile collage makers |
| PicWish | Similar-products list on a product-discovery platform | AI photo editing and background removal |
| Pixlr | Same similar-products list | Online photo editor with AI tools |
For collage-first use on a phone, the App Store results for a PhotoGrid search place PicCollage from Cardinal Blue Software next to PhotoGrid itself. For browser-based AI editing, a product-discovery platform lists PicWish at 4.9 from 113 reviews and Pixlr at 4.9 from 53 reviews among similar products, as captured on September 28, 2026. PhotoGrid's difference is pairing a large collage template library with credit-metered access to several third-party models in one account.
Partly. The free tier costs $0 and includes standard editing, basic collages, some templates and 100 MB of storage, but the pricing page lists watermarked exports for it. VIP costs $7.99 billed monthly or $33.99 billed yearly.
First-time subscribers can request one within 7 days for monthly plans or 14 days for annual plans, but only if no credits or other core benefits were used. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
Official pages conflict. Paid plans list commercial usage rights, but the Terms of Service describe the service and its AI-generated materials as for personal use only.
The privacy policy says uploads and outputs are stored on its servers and can be deleted by you, with facial and voice data removed within three years of account deactivation at the latest. One effect page states the opposite, that uploads and generated videos are not stored.
