A peek at what people are making with Jodu. Come create with us.

What Is Jodu?

Jodu is a creative tool inspired by the art of cut-and-paste collage — the hands-on process of cutting photos from magazines, layering them, and building something new. That raw, handmade energy, now on your phone.

Instead of scissors and glue, you get automatic cutouts that instantly isolate subjects from your photos. Add decorative effects like torn paper and burnt edges, layer on a freeform canvas with text and textures, and create collages that feel authentically handmade — all from your iPhone.

Your photos never leave your phone.

Jodu is free to download and starts with a 7-day free trial. During the trial, every feature is unlocked — automatic cutouts, all 11 decorative effects, multi-page carousels (up to 20 pages), Pinterest import, the full sticker library, fillable frames, 4K export, and the spherical text effect. After 7 days, you'll need a Jodu subscription to keep using the app.

Yes. Jodu supports multi-page projects with up to 20 pages per carousel — perfect for Instagram carousel posts. Each page has its own background and layers, and you can swipe between pages while editing. On export, Jodu renders each page as a separate image so you can post them as a carousel.

Yes. Jodu integrates with Pinterest so you can browse your boards, multi-select pins from any board, and pull them directly onto the canvas as image layers — no manual download required. You sign in with your Pinterest account from inside the photo picker.

No. Jodu processes everything on-device. Your photos never leave your phone. There are no cloud uploads, no servers processing your images, and no data collection. Your creative work stays completely private.

Jodu offers automatic subject isolation plus 11 decorative effects: Color Border (colored border around subject), Torn Paper (irregular torn edges), Crumpled Paper (wrinkled surface texture), Burnt Paper (charred border effect), Blur Edge (Gaussian blur fade), Glow Edge (halo glow around subject), Drop Shadow (shadow beneath subject), Vintage (color shift and grain), Tape (overlaid tape decoration), and Stamp (stamp texture overlay). Each effect is applied to your cutout automatically.

Yes. Jodu exports full-resolution PNG images that are great for printing. Create your collage layouts in the app, export, and send them to any printer or print-on-demand service. The torn paper and burnt edges effects are especially popular for authentic handmade aesthetics in printed collages.

Jodu works on iPhone running iOS 17 or later. The app is optimized for all screen sizes, with fast on-device cutouts across supported devices.

Most collage apps offer rigid grid templates where you drop photos into fixed slots. Jodu is different — it gives you a completely freeform canvas where you can layer, resize, rotate, and stack cut-out elements anywhere. Combined with automatic subject isolation, 11 decorative effects, a text tool with 40+ fonts, and background textures, Jodu is purpose-built for creative, artistic collages rather than simple photo grids.

Yes. Jodu includes a full text tool with 40+ curated fonts across Serif, Sans, Display, Script, and Mono categories. You can apply 4 text effects — Shadow, Outline, Glow, and Background — plus pick any color with the built-in color picker. There's also a spherical text effect that renders text as a globe/bubble distortion in 9 color themes. Text layers can be resized, rotated, and arranged on the canvas just like photo cutouts.

No project cap — you can create as many collages as you want during your 7-day free trial, and as a Jodu subscriber. Each project supports 50+ layers per page and up to 20 pages per carousel.
