Birthday collage app

Ink makes birthday collages on iPhone and Android: a free template puts five photos above the age, the name and the date, and it saves with no watermark. A dog’s birthday template and the layouts for 9 or more photos come with Ink Premium.

Or skip the template and pick photos: Ink has free layouts for 2 to 8 photos, several with one large photo for the birthday child and smaller ones around it.

From the party to the family chat

  1. Get Ink and open the kids’ birthday template.
  2. Tap a photo, tap Replace and pick one of yours. Do the same for the other four.
  3. Tap the large 7 to type the age, then the name and the date.
  4. Hold a photo and tap another to swap them, until the best one sits where you want it.
  5. Save the image, or tap Share image to send it straight to the chat.

Birthday collage ideas

  • A 30th, 50th or 80th: one photo from each decade fits a free layout: three photos for a 30th, five for a 50th, eight for an 80th. For one photo from every year, the 20-photo grid holds twenty.
  • For mum, dad or grandma: put them in the big photo and the family in the small ones, with the free layout that has one large photo above four smaller ones. Add “Happy birthday, Mum” with Text.
  • A first birthday: the free baby’s first year template has 12 numbered spots, one for each month.
  • The dog’s birthday: three of its best photos with its name, the date and its age.

For a Story or the family chat

The template is a 4:5 portrait page, made for an Instagram post or the family chat. For a Story, pick your photos instead and tap 9:16: the layouts change to Story shape.
