Easy mode
Easy mode is designed for quick results using pre-made templates. It allows drag-and-drop placement and simple text editing for fast collage creation.
Standard mode

Customize a preloaded template
This recommended beginner approach starts with a built-in template in Standard mode. You can then adapt it for your project needs.
