Like #15, Teacher-Michael, I wouldn't normally get too excited over a collage maker but this one is a keeper for me. Easy to install and run with an almost unlimited variety of designs - a simple collage of photos being only one. If you have a screen capture program, it can also be used to create some rather attractive web graphics/pages for your web site. Hardly no learning curve required ... just jump in and "play". The "drag 'n drop" on templates did not work for me (I'm using Win 7, 64 Bit) but double-clicking, on the area containing the photos, then selecting photos did ... perfectly.
#16, Bria, the zip file is standard so I'd guess you have a corrupt file if you are unable to unzip it with most any app (std Windows, WinZip, etc.) I'd just delete your original file and download it again.
Cheers,
Eric

It says it can create a facebook cover, but there is no option to create one. So I'm guessing if you do it ALL by hand, then yes, you can do it.
Bit unfair for them to mention it then have no option to do it... its like saying this collage maker can create a passport photo .... yes it probably could... but so can many other programs.

Sometimes you may need a collage, one picture tells you more than a slideshow.
I tried other collage makers, I haven't met a perfect one yet.
This one is a nice alternative, working well (for the first try).
Surprisingly big zip file (111MB) but dozens of backgrounds and frames are included.
It has templates for CD/DVD covers.
Other free alternatives: Collagit, Fotor
I prefer Fotor, but this Photo Collage Maker one is one other to keep.

I downloaded it, registered it and tried it out. Pretty standard little program with neat templates. I may use it just for the calendar collages but it's cute. It's a great product because it's free but I wouldn't pay for it.

Good work Karl! Don't let the trolls get you down! And thanks to all of you who test the software and list alternatives.

This is a good tool! No fuss, works great for its purpose, sufficient options for my use. Intuitive interface. Keeper.

@ #16 Bria; Sometimes if that happens you can use a download manager. I use firefox's add-on called down them all and open the files with it, it does open ones that are stated corrupt just using the regular download method.

Can today's sofware make a collage in which each photo has an HTML link to go to a different page. Say I want to use it for recies and want a picture in collage to click to go to cakes, another collage image showing salads when clicked to take you to salads ecipes, etc. ?? If it can do this I want it, uless y ou have other ideas.

Hello,
I tried to install this software but when after it downloaded and I tried to open the zipped file my computer didnt recognize the compressed zip file. What should I do?

Try to download another copy. The .zip is probably corrupt.

I usually don’t get excited about collage makers but this one is deserving of a special mention. It’s cute! (if you’ll excuse the expression from a typically grouchy old guy).
It’s actually quite a bit more than just a collage maker, more functional and a lot more fun to play around with. I recommend you give it a try. I’d even consider buying it if it weren’t free today. Thank-you AmoyShare.

For those who do not know, Amoy is Xiamen 廈門 a coastal city in Fujian province. Primarily the Hokkien dialect is spoken there in addition to Mandarin.
It is not abnormal for a company founded in 2014 to be trusted by millions of users. China's population is 1.3 billion.
The name Amoyshare, as in Wondershare or Tenorshare. "share" is just a prefix.
Easily installed and registered.
It has some templates, frames, masks and clipart.
Menu and user interface looks identical to Picture Collage Maker Pro by Pearl Mountain.
With 1 difference.
Amoyshare Photo Collage Maker has only 1 language choice. English.
Picture Collage Maker Pro by Pearl Mountain has options for English, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), French, German and Russian.

@Andrea: Oh, Karl is "ADAC" or "Stiftung Warentest" on this site? LOL...
I gave my thumbs everytime BEFORE reading other comments. Karl´s comments are good but I think they don´t change the voting.
This tool becomes a down because (like you said) it´s for children - not more.
Such toys I don´t like on my system - certainly not so large (110MB).

"I gave my thumbs everytime BEFORE reading other comments and AFTER downloading, installing and trying out today's giveaway on my computer" -- just thought I'd help you by popping in that bit you must've intended to include but forgot. After all, who in their right mind would ever give a thumbs up or thumbs down in GOTD's User Rating system if they're not a User?

We had Picture Collage Maker on Nov 18, 2013.

I must have forgotten to register it because it shows 15 day trial.
I will replace with this for now

I downloaded and have been using CollageIt since the giveaway. It's simple, you can adjust all pix the collage, pick a layout, etc. No learning curve with great results.

KARL? everyone talks about him or her and how they rely on his comments.
for us newbies, can KARL post what his credentials are, why he tries all posts,
and any other pertinent info?
Then we can all judge his comments in a more down-to-earth manner.
Save | Cancel
Are you saying only people possessing credentials should be limited to replying? If so what exactly would the criterion for the credentials be. I don't know about others but I certainly don't download software based on other members comments. Accept the comment for what it is, download the software, test it, and if it fits your needs then keep it.

Karl takes a relatively thorough look at each piece of software and gives his impression which is welcomed by most of us as to whether we want to try it.

This program is okay for those who want to create collages for sharing /printing it and remembering all those good times.The performance is fairly good.I don't have a reason to use another collage maker because of hundreds of apps available for this kind editing.
1.http://filehippo.com/download_picasa/ Google's own image organizer comes with an inbuilt collage maker.
2.Photoshine Mini http://filehippo.com/download_photoshine_mini/ A very good software ( free version comes with 230 templates)
3.Collagerator http://www.mediahuman.com/collagerator/
4.http://www.collage.com/home (Online collage creator, need to sign up for downloading collages) and many more like picmonkey,photovisi
Also try : http://www.ribbet.com/create-collage
5.http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Graphic-Others/Pos-Free-Collage-Maker.shtml (careful while Installing)
6.You can try browser add-ons which pretty much do the job, for example :
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/collage-maker-by-fotor/pekoadgpkajdflcemkdbjlnpjcmcdlfj
And thousands of more.....
Thank you GAOTD!

AmoyShare’s Photo Collage Maker is nothing else than Pearl Mountain’s Picture Collage Maker, as evidenced by the fact that, while AmoyShare is supposed to have been incorporated this year, Photo Collage Maker has already reached its version 4.1.2!
So, if you already have Picture Collage Maker 4.0.1 offered here a year ago (http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-collage-maker-4-0-1/#more-47580), consider this one a simple update. You can uninstall the old Picture Collage Maker but have a look first in its folder (in C:\Program Files). Some backgrounds, frames etc might be absent in the new version. I didn’t take the time to check, but I assume if you copy and paste them in the new program’s corresponding folders, they will work. (One of you might tell us.) Also, make sure you have downloaded all the available free extrapacks on Pearl Mountain site. They can be accessed only from Picture Collage Maker menu and might differ from the ones you can import from Photo Collage Maker menu (in options).
That being said, today’s GOTD is a good program (if you are interested in that kind of product, of course), comprehensive and user friendly.
My favorite, though, remains the excellent Photospills (http://www.photospills.com/home.htm), free, but you have to register after a few days.
Save | Cancel
Installed and registered without problems, opened up to a simple interface.
Put it through its paces and it seemed to work well.
When looking through the background folder found that all the images were simple JPG files and so decided to add one of my own which the program accepted and displayed as a choice.
Clip art images were in PNG did the same there and the program accepted it, so it looks like you can add your own images to expand the range.
A nice simple program to use that is quite versatile so if you're into this kind of program probably worth getting.

Hi, blimey, I must be in better mood today than Karl (sorry Karl:) Downloaded and quickly tested this Program before any Comments appeared, so at least on this occasion didn't take anyone's word for it, especially it's 'cute', but pleasant and polite (that's Chinese through and through) description and promise on their Site. Come on, where is harm in looking into this Software's content? That's the first thing any creative/artistic soul (and junkie:) will look into first: Goodies! Templates, frames, shapes a.s.o.. Yes, we already have seen most of them here and there under different 'roofs', or as distributed packs online (free and paid) - but this Photo Collage Maker has a good enough selection of them to make a decent first impression. Has ability to frame individual photos, makes cards, posters and multi-pic collages. So far I tested few frames and could tell the images fit in them without problem and bother of manual resizing. That's surely a good sign! What's more, that simple process (here framing) can be saved straight away and file named by user as 'anything', so no danger of accidental overwriting and losing originals. That's good too.
I intend to give it further try when time allows me. Thank You GOTD and Amoyshare for this creative and fun Gift:)

The program needs about 110MB room on my HD. Of this, nearly 60MB are reusable pictures. It it not clear to me if I may use this pictures outside the giveaway in mails and documents. Please clarify.

I like the program. Everyone should take note that after the license code in successfully inserted, you need to close out of the program and restart it, or else there's a message telling you that you only have 15 days left to use it, on a trial basis.
Save | Cancel
No bad in my view...
Very easy to use since what you have to do is simply following the tutorial and the software does the job with no hassles.
Collage photos are with good quality and the huge selection of templates provided enables you to use the photo collage for many different purposes.
So give it 68% THUMBS DOWN is simply ridiculous, but I noticed that the USER RATING system is often related to what Karl says in his comment. So I suspect that many people here give any GAOTDs a THUMBS DOWN without even trying them, especially when KARL ends his comment saying "uninstall via reboot" (namely nearly always).
Karl's comments are good but KARL is not the POPE or GOD, as he's just an ordinary blogger as me and many others, so if he says "uninstalled via reboot" it doesn't mean that the program is bad.
Please at least try the software given away here before giving it a THUMBS DOWN without any reason, otherwise the risk is that any serious developer out there will ever release his flagships here in the future.
And if you don't need the kind of program offered, just skip voting it!

The problem how to interpret the voting system is much older than Karl's first posting where he used the term "uninstalled via reboot". Was that on December 9, 2013???

People who have no use for the software-of-the-day and are disappointed in the day's offering often give it a thumbsdown vote.
Save | Cancel
Andrea, Karl gave this software a rather favorable review. To quote him, "The use of the program is simple and working. If you like to make photo collage, this is the right software. In my short test it has everything you’ll need to make a quick collage of your favorite photos." Hence this review is more likely to garner a THUMBS UP from viewers. If Karl has no 'personal' need for the software, he does not save it to his hard drive, thus "uninstalled via reboot".
Long before Karl came along with his valuable reviews, visitors to this site have been giving THUMBS DOWN to software which they do not want or use; mostly without even first trying it. Other visitors here read most of the reviews before they make a decision on whether or not to download the software and they never vote one way or the other.

Thanks for the information re "uninstalled via reboot". I'll give one of them a try.

Nice Application. Templates are a bit outdatet, not to say, silly. But that is a matter of taste.
I think my children will like it. But your tip FAQ4 doesn't work. You can change the language from English to English, no other languages available, not even Chinese...

Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.2 Pro 64 bit system. The registration dialog comes after the first run.
A brandnew(?) or a new brand(?) company without name and address and the strong will to make life better:
Founded in 2014, AmoyShare is a company with creativity that dedicates to digital software, hardware products, and life services. It is constructed with young people with fresh ideas and strong willing to make life better. We believe our constant effort will bring our customers with countless happiness, convinces and surprise.
Instead of making life better, they should concentrate on working software, but no:
Our first product is Photo Collage Maker. It’s our first step and we hope it could bring your life with beauty and welfare
This must be Chinese marketing! Happiness, welfare, beauty and the green dragon flies high...
And a laugh: Founded 2014 and "trusted by millions of users". The marketing department hits again.
Yes: Chinese the software is digitally signed Chengdu PearlMountain Technology Co., Ltd - and we had from this company CollageIt Pro 1.9.4 on June 12, 2014.
The program start is a wizard to select some presets. If you select a "blank" page, the resizable screen of the normal program appears. The program has a lot of templates, many in the "Chinese" style. The use of the program is simple and working. If you like to make photo collage, this is the right software. In my short test it has everything,, you'll need to make a quick collage of your favorite photos.
Does what it claims. But what a pity, it didn't make my life better, healthier, more rich and beauty is still missing at my age..
Uninstalled via reboot (.e.g. rebooted a virtual system to forget all changes. DeepFreeze, ToolwizTimeFreeze, Returnil...)
