The best video collage apps for iPhone in 2026

We make one of these apps, so read our list with that in mind — but every fact below is checked against the apps' own App Store listings and help pages. Here's what each app does well and where the catches are, if you want several videos in one frame on iPhone.

Short answer: for several videos playing at once in a grid or split screen, choose an app made for it: Video Grid Collage (no watermark, no ads, first project free), PhotoGrid (up to 9 videos; ads and a watermark in the free version) or PicPlayPost (collage frames; watermark until you upgrade). CapCut and InShot are full editors where you build a collage from layers by hand, Canva needs an account, and iMovie is free but shows only two clips at once.

03
