Biggest opportunity: “gallery”, “grid” and “image” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 3K of 123.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Media plugin keeps 0.8%, across 2,317 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Media plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| collage your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| photo collage | #1 | #1 | — |
| responsive image | #23 | #20 | — |
| gallery your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| grid your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| image your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| photo your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
37 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 3 listed. 34 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ relivin3.4y ago
Great plugin. I bought it. But I didn’t rate it 5 because you cannot edit the original collage after creation. Must start all over again with a new collage if you want to make a change. UPDATE: My former review is changed. I now see that the original collages can be edited. One does not have to start over again. I NOW RATE THIS PLUGIN 5 STARS. This topic was modified 3 years, 1 month ago by Yui. This topic was modified 3 years ago by relivin. Reason: Updated to better review

It is really a nice idea and implementation of Collage Layout. The plugin must has more features and enhancements to be a mature addon for high-quality websites.

Works perfectly. Better than Diptic. Haven’t checked it for pagespeed but don’t mind 🙂 Keep up the great work! Only thing lacking is the ability to change the zoom of an image inside a segment. Make that happen and I’ll change this review to five stars! Thanks a bunch guys!

I use the free version of this plugin. It is very user friendly and it works as expected. There are plenty of layouts to choose from. In case you run into a problem where the shortcode does not appear on your post/page, just check the other plugins (one at a time) that may be incompatible with this one. It happened to me and Brecht suggested this solution. Thank you and keep up the great work.
