Live Photo Collage
Make a Live Photo collage
that keeps moving.
Put your Live Photos together.
They still play in the collage.
PicWay is a Live Photo collage maker for iPhone, and a collage with Live Photos keeps moving. Pick up to 20 photos, or 30 in a Long strip. Choose All at once, One by one, or Spotlight, then save it as a Live Photo, a video, or a still image. Your photos aren’t uploaded.

Motion styles
Do Live Photos still move
in a collage?
Yes. If there’s a Live Photo in your collage, the collage moves. All at once plays every Live Photo together. One by one plays them in turn, with sound. Spotlight fills the frame with one, then goes back to the collage.

Saving
Should I save it as
a Live Photo or a video?
When you export, pick one of three. Without any Live Photos, you get a still image.
-
Live Photo
Touch and hold it in Photos to watch it move.
-
Video
Share it as a video that’s easy to send to friends.
-
Still image
The highest quality, when you only need a picture.
Getting started
Can I make one
without opening PicWay?
Yes. Start from the Photos app or your Home Screen.
-
From the Share sheet
Select 2 to 30 photos in Photos, tap Share, and choose Collage. More than 20 photos make a Long strip.
-
From a widget
Add the Collage widget to your Home Screen and start a collage from there.
-
Only have a video?
Turn it into a Live Photo with Make Live Photo, and it can join a collage.
Good to know
What the collage maker
doesn’t do
-
It doesn’t upload your photos
Collages are made on your iPhone. You don’t need an account.
-
Still photos don’t move
Motion comes from Live Photos. A collage of only still photos saves as a still image.
-
One by one needs two
You need at least two Live Photos in the collage to play them in turn.
-
Long strip plays all at once
A Long strip only uses All at once. Switch to another ratio for One by one or Spotlight.
Where does my
Live Photo collage go?
It’s saved to the PicWay Creations album in Photos. You’ll also find it in Creations in PicWay, ready to open or share again.
