Diptic

est. 2010

Hi. We're back, and we missed you.

Diptic was the original photo collaging app. Back in the early days of the App Store, before "photo collage" was a category, Diptic helped define what this kind of creative storytelling could look like.

We originally created Diptic with our former company, Peak Systems, because we wanted a simple way to combine multiple moments into a single image and tell the story. People used it to document friendships, families, growing up, trips, pets, what they ate, and to make silly internet artwork. You made things with it that we never even imagined. Over time, millions of stories were told through Diptic. We think that's pretty special.

After we left Peak, Diptic sat mostly idle after 2019 while they focused on other things. Recently, we were given the opportunity to bring it back and continue building it ourselves.

If you've been using Diptic for years, thank you. Seriously. The fact that people still care about this app after all this time means a lot to us.

And if you picked up Diptic more recently and ran into bugs or rough edges, we'll be working on it. We're a small team, but we're excited to bring it back to life and make diptics again in 2026. Got an idea on what we should do? Tell us at diptic.fyi@gmail.com.

More soon.

Sincerely,
RR and RB (The Original Diptic Team)

What Diptic does.

194+ Layouts

Combine up to nine photos or videos in a single collage. Drag joints along frame lines to reshape any layout — or snap to an 8×8, 10×10, or 12×12 grid for precision.

Image Adjustments

15 filters plus manual controls for brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation. Pan, rotate, mirror, flip, and zoom each photo independently inside its frame.

Video Collages

Mix photos and videos in the same layout. Add music from your library and independently control where each audio and video clip starts and stops.

Borders & Frames

Adjust border width, color, texture, and curvature. Round the inner and outer edges separately. One slider turns any Diptic into a circle.

Text Captions

Add a caption and customize its font, style, color, and size. Pinch to scale. Use the return key for multiple lines.

Flexible Export

Export as PNG or JPG at any standard print ratio. Share directly to Instagram, Facebook, or by text and email. Import from your library, camera, or Dropbox.

Frequently asked questions.

  1. Tap the "reset" button at the top left of the layouts screen.
  2. If that doesn't help, delete and reinstall Diptic from the App Store.
  3. If neither works, reboot your device.
  4. Check available storage — a nearly full device will affect performance.

Tap the "reset" button at the top left of the layouts screen.

Music must be downloaded to your device rather than streamed. In the Music app, go to My Music and filter by "Music Available Offline" to see what's stored locally.

Our largest layout holds nine frames. For more, create a 9-frame Diptic, save it to your camera roll, then use that image as one frame inside another 9-frame Diptic — and so on.

Joints are the draggable dots along the frame lines in the Frames tab. Move them to reshape any layout freely. Shaded joints can be tapped to add or remove curvature. Enable the grid to snap joints to exact positions.

Tap the frame, choose Adjust, and drag the color saturation slider all the way to the left.

Tap the image, choose the Flip tab. For vertically stacked images use the left button; for horizontally stacked images use the middle button.

Place two fingers on the text and pinch — spread apart to grow, pinch together to shrink.

No. All purchases are tied to your Apple ID. Tap the Restore button inside the app to recover everything you've previously bought — you won't be charged again.

Instagram limits images to square (1:1), portrait (4:5), or landscape (1.91:1). Set your Diptic's aspect ratio to one of those before exporting.

Diptic exports PNG or JPG at any ratio. Standard print sizes:

  • 4×6 → 2:3   5×7 → 5:7
  • 8×10 → 4:5   8×8, 9×9 → 1:1

Remove the outer border in Frame → Size → Borders before printing for a clean full bleed.

Tap the trash icon at the top left of the layout screen to reset everything. From any other screen, shake your device to choose which settings — images, borders, frames, or text — to reset individually.
