CreatorPhoto 3.0: A Windows Photo Organizer, Editor & Collage Studio

I'm AdamYang, an independent Windows app developer. CreatorPhoto 3.0 is the latest major update to my photo organization, editing, and collage application, now available on Microsoft Store.

The goal is simple: make the small tasks around a folder of photos easier to complete in one workspace. Renaming files, preparing images for a platform, adding a watermark, and building a collage often require several separate steps.

Here's a walkthrough using the actual English interface.

Put photos in order before batch renaming

Import multiple photos, inspect the thumbnails and live preview, and drag photos into the order you want. You can also sort by filename or modification date.

Choose a filename prefix, starting number, and number of digits, then check the proposed filenames before processing. This helps keep a set of photos consistently named without having to rename each file manually.

Resize for a platform, then crop or add padding

Choose a common platform size preset, keep the original dimensions, or enter a custom width and height. Width and height can be adjusted independently, with an aspect-ratio lock when needed. Apply settings to one photo or across the imported set.

For a different composition, drag the crop selection's edges and corners directly in the live preview. If you want to keep the entire photo, use padding instead of cropping.

Place watermarks and choose an output format

Add a text watermark or use your own image as a Logo watermark. Adjust its opacity, position, and size, including dragging and resizing directly in the preview. Individual photos can have different watermark settings.

Logo watermark placement, resizing, and opacity controls

CreatorPhoto supports JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, and GIF. Format conversion can be combined with resizing, cropping, and watermarking in the same workflow.

Create collages in a dedicated Studio

Version 3.0 includes Collage Studio with 10 layouts: Free Collage, two-photo side-by-side and top/bottom arrangements, four-photo and six-photo layouts, main-photo combinations, and a 3×3 grid.

The controls are direct: click to add photos, drag to position them, use a slider or the mouse wheel to resize, and press Delete to remove the selected image.

For example, after preparing a group of product photos, you can combine a few into a collage rather than opening another editor.

Choose a background image or a solid color, including a precise HEX value. Canvas proportions and grid spacing are adjustable, and you can choose an output folder when saving the collage.

Designed for local Windows workflows

Photo editing and collage creation take place locally on your Windows computer. Flexible saving options let you preserve originals, create a separate output folder, or explicitly choose to modify original files.

The interface supports English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese, with dark, light, and pink appearance themes.

I'd be happy to hear feedback from anyone organizing large photo collections or preparing images for different platforms. Which step would you want to make easier, and how do the collage controls fit your workflow?
