Editing photos is something that most of us do regularly, whether we’re preparing images for our social media posts or simply touching up pictures to share with friends and family. Whatever the purpose, there is one thing we have in common: many of us don’t want to install complicated or expensive editing software just to make a few quick changes.
That’s the big reason apps like PicCollage are quite popular. With almost 300 million downloads across Android and iOS, it’s one of the best-known photo collage apps around. And now, its AI-powered tools are also available on the web at piccollage.com. That means you can edit your photos straight in your browser without installing anything.
What Can You Do With PicCollage’s Web-Based Tools?
So, what exactly can you do with PicCollage’s web-based editing tools?
PicCollage brings together a few editing tools, each designed to handle different tasks. Its web-based photo editor lets users access these features directly through their browsers. The right tool to use simply depends on what you need to get done.
Background Remover
The background remover works by identifying the main subject in your image and removing everything behind it. It essentially saves you from having to trace everything by hand (which is the case with manual background removers).
A good example of a use case is when a shop owner needs to upload a product photo and there is a lot of noise in the background. Removing the distracting items (could be other products or a person) can make the product stand out and the ad look more professional. You can also use it for tasks like preparing profile pictures, promotional graphics or images for social media posts.
It is worth noting that fine details, such as hair, can be tricky for any tool of this kind. So it’s worth checking out the final product, especially along the edges before you export.
AI Image Extender
An AI image extender’s work is helping you to expand an existing image beyond its original edges. An important distinction, however: it does not simply stretch the photo. It uses AI to generate additional content to fill the expanded spaces.
This tool comes in handy when you need to turn a portrait image into a landscape banner or adapt one photo to suit different social media platforms. Of course, the results will vary depending on the specific image you use – but it gives you a practical way to reuse photos you have already taken.
Blur Background
This tool works by applying a blurring effect to the background while keeping the main subject more visible. It has the same working principle as the background remover – the only difference is that this one suits a user who doesn’t want to completely get rid of the background noise.
A good use case is when you want to edit a photo you took outdoors. In such a case, you want to soften the busy surroundings but still want it to be clear that it is an outdoorsy picture. It essentially helps you draw attention to the main subject without requiring a completely new photo.
Editor
The editor is a general photo-editing workspace within the PicCollage web platform. It allows you to work on your images beyond the specific AI functions we have already discussed above.
For instance, let’s say you have removed the background from your product’s photo, but still want to make a few final adjustments before posting. It is essentially a way to further tune your image to suit those unique/specific needs.
Collage Maker
PicCollage’s collage maker is not an AI-powered tool. However, it offers a few features that definitely make your photo editing work easier. Its main task is enabling you to combine several photos into one composition.
You can use this app in many ways. For example, instead of sharing several separate pictures, you can arrange them in one visual presentation. It can be for putting together birthday pictures, showcasing several products or combining several travel photos into a single social media post.
Conclusion
PicCollage brings several photo-editing and AI features together in one place. These tools are suited for different users, including creators, marketers and small businesses that want quick, good-looking results. The best part is you don’t even need to download it – just upload the photo, choose a tool, make your edits and download the finished image.
