Create Photo Mosaics with Dedicated Software and Professional Design
Photo Mosaic Maker turns a meaningful photograph into a mosaic built from hundreds or thousands of your own pictures. Design it yourself with dedicated software, or have our team create, print and deliver a finished artwork for you.
Two Ways to Create Your Mosaic
Create It Yourself
Full creative control with tools purpose-built for photo mosaics — in the browser for a convenient workflow, or on the desktop for large libraries and high cell counts. For hobbyists, professionals, artists and organizations.

The Software — Online and Desktop
Two ways to build mosaics yourself — the same core craft, different working styles.
Browser-based
Online Photo Mosaic Maker
Start a project in the browser with a guided workflow — no installation. A built-in sample library is free to use; sign in to work with your own photos, and subscribers render the largest sizes.
Create a Mosaic OnlineStandalone
Desktop Photo Mosaic Software
Standard and PRO editions for larger libraries and higher cell counts — up to 10,000 library images and 40,000 mosaic cells in PRO, with additional pattern styles.

Beyond the Grid: Photo Mosaics Designed Around the Image
Traditional photo mosaics often use regular grids or predefined geometric patterns. These approaches work well for many projects, but their cell boundaries do not necessarily follow the natural contours of important subjects.
Our professional design service offers another approach. An artist first designs irregular cell boundaries and regions to follow the outlines of important subjects. Our photo-matching software then fills these custom-designed cells with suitable photographs from the image collection.
The result combines artist-guided composition with automated photo matching, helping reinforce the shape and visual identity of the main subject.

What Makes a Great Photo Mosaic?
A convincing photo mosaic depends on much more than shrinking photos into a grid. Four things decide the result:
Image selection. A main image with clear shapes and strong contrast, plus supporting photos with varied colors and subjects.
Matching algorithms. Each region of the main image is compared with candidate tiles so every cell contributes to the whole picture.
Tile arrangement. Repetition control and optimization keep neighboring tiles varied while preserving overall readability.
Cell design. Cell shape, size range, spacing and pattern style define the visual character of the finished mosaic.
One main image, divided into a grid and matched tile by tile against your own photo library — the finished mosaic reads as a single image from a distance and resolves into individual photos up close.

From Digital Mosaic to Finished Artwork
Turn your photo mosaic into a physical artwork. We offer photo mosaic printing options for different sizes and display needs, helping you bring your digital creation into the real world — photo-quality poster prints from 20×24 in to 40×48 in, shipped worldwide in protective tubes by courier, air or sea.
Explore Printing OptionsDecades of Experience in Photo Mosaic Technology
We have been developing photo mosaic software since 1998 — photo-matching algorithms and mosaic-generation technology refined over nearly three decades, across mosaic patterns, cell shapes and creative techniques such as artist-designed edge-traced structures. The same practice also handles professional mosaic production and technical preparation for large-scale projects.
One notable project was P&G's 2008 Guinness World Records photo mosaic. P&G collected the photographs from its customers; our founder processed and prepared 180,000 source photographs, created the giant mosaic artwork, produced the digital preview, prepared print-ready sheets and developed the workplan for assembly; P&G's production partner handled physical printing and installation. The completed mosaic covered 660.525 square meters and contained 105,196 photographs.
