At on time I was using Wondershare Collage Maker to put numerous pictures together for a collage. With all the computer upgrades Wondershare no longer works on my computer.
Does anyone have any suggestions of a, preferably, free collage software that can be used?
Thanks

I have wondered the same and also saw JerryC41 reply

I have Photospills, and it works well for a wide variety of collage styles. It seems to me I got it for free back in 2019, although one web site today indicates you have to purchase after a trial period. One thing that was puzzling: When I launch my copy, it says it is version 5.1 (see attachment). But, several download sites are all offering version 4.2.

THANK YOU for sharing this! I downloaded 4.2 and installed it. It does say there is a 25 day trial period. I chose the option to register it and was taken to another screen that requested my email address and a button to register my copy. Clicking that takes me to another screen where I can choose to donate to one of several options or just stay "free". I chose the latter. The key displayed and I entered it as requested. Looks simple enough to use, I'll work with it a bit and see what happens. Thanks again!

I use a free software called CollageFactory Free. It is free and works well.

I use Fotojet Collage Maker from Pearl Mountain Limited. It is IMO the best collage maker available. I especially like the grid type of collage, but there are other types as well. There are two ways to get it.

1) from the Fotojet website at: https://www.fotojet.com/windows/buy-collage-maker.html ... and pay the full amount of $30.00

or

2) from the Microsoft Store at: https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/fotojet-collage-maker/9N3DB2B21XG7?hl=en-us&gl=US ... and pay $4.99.

I got #2 and have been using for about a year now. I haven't the foggiest idea why one can get the same product from Microsoft Store and pay only $4.99.

You can still download Picasa. Easy to use.

I used to do them on Picasa. I think it's available and free. Google Photos also...I think.

I have used the Apache Open Office drawing tool for years to drag images into the document, resize, move, change background color, adjust the document settings for page size & position, margin etc. Then save it for future edits and export it as a JPG, PDF you pick the format. I just used it to put together a group of B&W photos to be used as holiday tree ornaments. It allowed me to do a final resize to about the same dimensions. I had used DXO PL for initial processing and ON1 with the first resize. Works in Windows, Mac & Linux. Oh the printing was a breeze with 8.5 x11" full sheet glossy photo paper.
