Tutorial: Create Your Own Photo Mosaic
Three steps from a folder of photos to a finished mosaic.
- Select the main image.
- Choose a cell shape and pattern, and set the mosaic size.
- Load your photo collection for the cells.
- Crop the main image and preview the division.
- Adjust render options — repetition, color match, gap color — and render.
- Done: print your mosaic or share it online.
01
Choose a Main Image
Simple shapes and clear contrast work best — the main image is what emerges from a distance. For a poster-size mosaic (about 2,400–3,600 tiles), a 100×100 px image is usually enough for a face or a simple object.
02
Gather Your Photo Collection
These photos become the tiles. Around 200 photos is the minimum for good quality; about 1,000 gives excellent variety. More than 2,000 also works, with longer processing.
03
Create Your Mosaic
Built for Larger Projects
Choose the desktop editions when the online workflow is not enough: libraries of thousands of photos, cell counts in the tens of thousands, concentric pattern styles, or professional output work.
