Let's see how to make a collage for number 1. You can make a collage for any other number using similar steps.
We'll use screenshots of the Windows PC app for this demo. Still, Mac users can follow the same steps because the interface and functionality are similar on both platforms.

1. Open FigrCollage software, and click "Use Text" as the shape as shown in the screenshot below. Enter any number that you want to turn into a photo collage. For this example, we will use number 1. You can also set a font for the selected number.

2. Add Pictures to use in the collage. For this example, we have used pictures of flowers.

3. Select the "Freeform" cell style and "Default" cell placement, and then click Generate Collage to build your number collage layout.

You can select different cell styles and cell placements, as shown in the table below to create various number-shaped collages.

5. How to print the number photo collage you've created —
First, export your collage to a JPG, PNG, or TIFF image, as shown in the screenshot below.
Second, print the JPG using a local printer, an online printing service, or an in-store printing service. You can print and frame the number collage for a birthday party or have a fabulous canvas made from one of the online print services.
