Do you, like me, sometimes spend more time creating images for your blog and for Pinterest, than you do actually writing your posts?
First, it’s finding the right image that seems to add value to your post. Then, it’s creating a collage of a quote image that looks just right to you. You also have to keep in mind the ideal size for various media – blog, Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest. Altogether, quite a challenging exercise.
I still love PicMonkey, but I recently came across a free online software called Fotojet that helps you makes collages and has social media templates that helps you create lovely images quickly. I knew I had to share it with you.

FotoJet is a free online collage maker that helps you turn your photos into amazing collages and then quickly share with family and friends via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Tumblr, providing 700+ creative collage templates and 80+ classic collage layouts.

Disclosure: This is NOT a sponsored post. FotoJet is FREE. 🙂
All I can say is “OMG”. I mean this service seems to surpass what Picmonkey is offering right now. I have not had a chance to really delve in but it looks completely free with more options then Picmonkey is offering for free. Not sure how long that will last but it seems wonderful. A bit overwhelming at first but looks great.
Have you seen instances where you have to use Picmonkey because Fotojet can’t accommodate?
Thanks for sharing this gem.

Yes, the templates are not offered by PicMonkey as yet, Frances. I’ve been using PicMonkey for so long that I’m used to the layers etc. It’s something I haven’t fully explored with FotoJet. Like you said, hope it stays free.
PS: Missed you this Monday!

Oh I know. I started a post this weekend and it wasn’t ready in time. Work got busy. I may be able to include it in on the Finish Sentence Friday and will post to Monday Musing next week. I’ve got to get better.
Wow, Corrine. This looks really wonderful!! I’ll be having a play around with it for sure. Thanks so much for the post. Love the menu headings at the top of your blog too….off to have a look around! Linda.
I found the templates easy to use, Linda. Let me know how it works for you are you play around with it!

I don’t know this service but am glad to. Right now I only do the basics and use Picmonkey on occasion for other stuff. I will try fotojet and let you know.
I found it quite recently, Carol and it does save time.

That looks like fun! I have a Canva account which is very similar. I made my daughter’s birthday invitations through it. I’m going to have to check out Fotojet to see how close it is to what I already know.
I use Canva too, Loni. But I find that FotoJet has more templates on offer just now.

Hope it works for you, Tulika. I still love PicMonkey, but these templates are easy to use for Pinterest friendly images.

Hi Corinne,
First time I hear about Fotojet, it looks like an amazing tool! I use Photoshop to make my collages but after I see your review and the tools they offer, I would definitely recommend it to someone who doesn’t own Photoshop. Thank you!
