Frequently asked questions

How do I turn a photo into a brick mosaic?

Upload a photo right here, choose your finished size, then crop it. Next you set the color range and fine-tune brightness, contrast and detail, and repaint any tile you like. Your mosaic appears instantly — add it to your cart when it looks right.

Is the brick mosaic maker free?

Yes. Designing and previewing your mosaic costs nothing and never asks for payment details. You only pay if you decide to order the kit for the artwork you approve.

Can I create a brick-style mosaic from any photo?

Yes — pets, portraits, couples and family photos all work well. The best results come from a clear, well-lit photo with one main subject, and you see the exact mosaic before committing to anything.

How many bricks are needed for a photo mosaic?

Every panel is a 5″ square holding a 16 × 16 grid of 256 tiles, so a 5 × 5 artwork (25″ × 25″) needs 25 panels and 6,400 tiles. The review screen shows the exact panel and tile count for the size you choose.

Can I customize the colors in my mosaic?

Yes. Choose how wide a color range you want, fine-tune brightness, contrast, saturation and detail, then repaint individual tiles by hand. Only colors we physically manufacture are used, so nothing in your preview goes unmade.

Can I order the bricks after creating my design?

Yes. Once you approve your artwork you can add it to your cart and check out. Your kit contains every tile you need sorted by color, the labeled backing panels, connecting pegs and printed build instructions.
