Collages are currently available on iOS and Android mobile devices only. If you don't see the option to create a collage, make sure you're using the latest version of the Pinterest app.
Overview

Collages help you visually express ideas and see how things come together on Pinterest. In addition to saving Pins to boards, you can save just the objects you love as cutouts and put them together to create an interactive collage.

Here are a few ways you can use collages:

  • Create a mood board with cutouts from your favorite Pins
  • Mix and match different products to see how they look together (plus, collages made with product Pins will be shoppable)
  • Cut out images from your camera roll and combine them with other cutouts to create something new
