How to Create a Photo Mosaic Online
A photo mosaic combines thousands of memories into a single image. From a distance, you see one large picture. Up close, you discover hundreds or even thousands of individual photographs.
Let your inspiration guide you to celebrate a person, a pet, an event or a place. Photo mosaics are best when they tell a story and follow a theme, so gives some thought to what you are celebrating. Is it a milestone event for someone such as a wedding or 50th birthday? Do you want to celebrate a special place or holiday?
Step 1: Upload Your Photos
Upload as many photos as possible. More photos generally create a richer and more detailed mosaic.
Tip: Avoid uploading many identical or nearly identical photos, as this can make repetitions more noticeable.
Step 2: Choose Your Target Image
Select the image that will appear when viewed from a distance.
The best target images usually have:
| Feature | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Good contrast | Makes the final mosaic easier to recognize |
| A clear subject | Faces, pets, logos, and landmarks work especially well |
| Balanced lighting | Avoids losing important details |
Step 3: Generate Your Mosaic
Once everything is ready, simply click Generate in your mosaic workspace.
Your mosaic will begin generating immediately, and you can watch the progress live as it progressed through 2 stages:
- Thousands of photos are arranged to recreate your chosen image using their original colours.
- The photos are then rendered with colour correction to form the final mosaic.
Tip: You can re-generate again and again with different settings of colour correction and tile placement to discover what produces the best result for your mosaic.
