Is there a tool or a plugin to an existing software to make collages?

Please see the subject.
Looking either for a standalone tool or for a plugin for GIMP, Krita, digiKam, darktable, etc.

@Andrius There have been a few threads asking about this in general or how to use G’MIC, ImageMagick, GIMP, etc. to make them. Do a search and they should pop up. If not, someone can be an extra pair of eyes for you.

Send us some examples or sketches of what you are looking for. Everyone has a different idea of what a collage should look like or a specific format that they need.

Thanks Afre, I will take a look.

What I want is basically a tool that would line up few selected images for me. I found it takes me a while to do it myself in GIMP - a lot of moving around, cropping, resizing, etc.

Use the G’MIC plugin in Gimp, it has a dedicated filter called "Montage.
Check this tutorial: https://patdavid.net/2014/05/gmic-montage/

That is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a ton!

Ha ha, should have kept it simple like @sguyader but there have been times the op wanted more.

@Andrius If you don’t mind, once you have figured it out, do share some of your works of art.
