How To Make a Photo Collage in the Flipagram App

Flipagram was a popular app for making photo and video slideshows and visual stories. With this app, you could make a compelling story combining visual media with audio and text for sharing with your followers.

Flipagram was recently bought by TikTok and changed its name to VigoVideo. Unfortunately, since it is a video-making and -editing app, there are no features that allow you to add images. Therefore, you can’t make a photo collage.

However, you can make a photo collage on a similar app like VivaVideo, which allows you to further share it on VigoVideo.

Collage Away

The advantage of making a photo collage in VivaVideo is the ability to make it dynamic. Instead of making a static photo collage, with this app you can cycle through a lot of images on your collage in a short amount of time.

So, if you want to make a collage and share it with your friends, this app may be the right way to go. Especially if a collage slideshow is a better fit than just one image.
