Pinterest just rolled out Collage Remix – a super fun, interactive tool that makes creating visual content a breeze.
Now, you can add your own twist to collages others have created. Think of it like a remix in music – but for visuals! 🎨✨
What’s the Deal with Pinterest Collage Remix?
Pinterest first tried out collages in its Shuffles app back in 2022, letting users combine images and cutouts to make mood boards and style guides. This year, they brought collages into the main Pinterest app, and the response has been huge – we’re talking a 418% jump in collages! Gen Z especially loves it, with 72% of daily collage creators coming from this group. 📈💥
Having access to a huge variety of dynamic posts and content attracts audiences. When used correctly, you can stand out among tough competitors out there.

It’s a fantastic way to get inspired, join the creative community, and give credit to the original creator. 💡🤳
