You do not need to download anything to use Photo Grid on a PC. PhotoGrid’s official web editor at photogrid.app runs the collage maker and photo editor straight in your browser, and basic collages work without even signing up. If you specifically want the Android app on Windows, an emulator handles that too.

The official way to get Photo Grid on PC: the web editor
PhotoGrid, the collage app that has been on Android phones for over a decade, now runs its own browser version at photogrid.app. This is the same developer as the mobile app, PhotoGrid Corporation, so it is the genuine article and the cleanest PC route by far.
- Open photogrid.app in Chrome, Edge, or any current browser on Windows or Mac.
- Pick Collage Maker, choose a grid layout, and drag your photos in from a folder. The basic collage tool works without creating an account.
- Use the editor’s tools to adjust layouts, borders, and backgrounds, then export the finished grid to your PC.
Working on a monitor with a mouse beats a phone screen for collage layouts anyway: dragging photos between cells and fine-tuning borders is exactly the kind of fiddly work a desktop is better at. The core tools are free; PhotoGrid sells a paid plan on top for extras, so expect some features to be gated.
Open PhotoGrid Web Editor (official)
Careful: the Microsoft Store “Photo Grid” is a different app
If you search Photo Grid for PC, a Microsoft Store listing called “Photo Grid – Photo Collage” shows up near the top. Check the publisher before installing: that Store app is published by Videopix, not by PhotoGrid Corporation. It is an unrelated collage program trading on the name. There is no official PhotoGrid app in the Microsoft Store as of August 2026, so the real options on a PC are the web editor above or the Android app in an emulator.
Install PhotoGrid on Windows with an emulator
The Android app makes sense on PC if you want the mobile features, like video collages and the phone app’s template library, rather than the web editor’s toolset.
- Install BlueStacks on Windows 10 or 11; our BlueStacks for PC guide covers setup.
- Sign into the Play Store inside BlueStacks with a Google account.
- Install PhotoGrid: Video Collage Maker, checking the developer reads PhotoGrid Corporation.
- To edit your own pictures, drag image files onto the BlueStacks window or use its shared Media folder so they appear in PhotoGrid’s gallery.
- Export finished collages, then pull them back out through the same shared folder.
The extra file shuffling in and out of the emulator is the main drawback, and it is why the web editor is the better default for photo work on a PC.
Frequently asked questions
How do I download Photo Grid for PC?
PhotoGrid does not ship a Windows program, so there is no direct Photo Grid PC download. Use the official web editor at photogrid.app, which needs no install, or run the Android app inside BlueStacks if you want the mobile version on Windows 10 or 11.
Is PhotoGrid free on PC?
The web editor’s core collage tools are free and the basic collage maker works without an account. PhotoGrid also sells a premium plan that unlocks extra features and removes ads, so not every tool on the site is free.
Is the Photo Grid app in the Microsoft Store official?
No. The “Photo Grid – Photo Collage” listing in the Microsoft Store is published by Videopix, an unrelated developer. Official PhotoGrid comes from photogrid.app on the web or from PhotoGrid Corporation’s listing on Google Play.
Does Photo Grid work on a Mac?
Yes, through the browser. photogrid.app runs the same in Safari, Chrome, or Edge on macOS, so a Mac needs no emulator for collage making.
Verdict
For collages on a computer, go straight to photogrid.app: official, free to start, and built for exactly this. Keep the emulator route for the times you want the mobile app’s video collage features on a big screen, and skip the Microsoft Store lookalike. If you edit images on PC regularly, our personalization apps for PC hub has more, including the PixelLab for PC and PicsArt for PC guides, two editors with the same web-versus-emulator choice.
