Last year's 2015bestnine craze saw 70 million visitors, according to Business Insider, and it turned out to be a giant marketing gimmick to get users interested in a dating app called Nine. More than 100,000 of the people who used the 2015bestnine generator eventually signed up for the Instagram-based service.

This year, it's not clear whether using 2016bestnine will later prompt you to join another service. But creator Yusuke Matsumura wrote on ProductHunt that using the 2016 version was "so simple."

"I believe 2016bestnine will help you to look back your 2016," he added. "Hope you all enjoy it!"

Looking for other options? 2016bestnine lets you plug in any username you want, so you can also see collages belonging to your family, friends or celebrities. And if you're hankering for even more photos, check out #16bestof16, which makes a four-by-four collage instead of a three-by-three, or #30DaysPics, which produces a monthly video of your Instagram pictures.
