Frequently asked questions.

Pixel Brick Art turns your photo into a custom brick mosaic kit. You design it free online, preview the exact result, then receive every tile, panel and instruction needed to build it as wall art.

Yes. The online mosaic maker is free — upload a photo, adjust size, crop, colors and detail, and see the exact finished mosaic before you add it to your cart.

Clear, well-lit photos with one main subject — a pet, a person or a couple. You'll see the exact pixel result before you buy, so you can tell immediately whether a photo will translate well.

Everything happens right in your browser. We convert your photo into a precise grid of tiles using only colors we physically make, and you watch the artwork build live as you adjust it.

No. Your photo never leaves your browser while you design — it's only used to generate your artwork preview on your own device.

Your preview only uses colors that match our brick colors — from classic black and white to rich blues, greens, reds and warm neutrals. No color appears in your kit that wasn't in your approved preview.

Yes. Beyond crop, style and color controls, the editor lets you recolor any single tile by hand until the piece is exactly right.

Yes. Your approved design is locked as the build specification — the same grid that fills your preview is what gets produced into your kit, panel by panel.

By uploading a photograph, you confirm and consent that you hold the legal right to use and reproduce it, and you grant us permission to reproduce it solely to produce your custom kit.

Nineteen layouts, from a 3 × 3 panel piece (15″ × 15″) up to a 9 × 9 statement piece (45″ × 45″), in square, portrait and landscape shapes. The price updates live as you pick — see all sizes on the pricing page.

Prices start at $69 for the 15″ × 15″ (3 × 3, nine panels) and go up to $499 for the 45″ × 45″ (9 × 9, eighty-one panels). The most popular 25″ × 25″ size is $169. Bigger pieces cost more because they contain more panels and tiles.

Each panel is a 5″ square backing plate holding a 16 × 16 grid of 256 tiles. Larger artworks are built by assembling labeled panels — A1, A2, B1 and so on — into the full picture.

Every tile you need, sorted by color; the labeled backing panels; the connecting pegs for assembling the panels; and printed build instructions with a numbered diagram for every panel.

It's one of the best gifts there is — a personal photo turned into art the recipient builds with their own hands. Many customers build a piece together with family.

No. Tiles press onto the numbered panels by hand, and panels connect to each other with the included pegs. If you can press a button, you can build your art.

Smaller pieces are a satisfying evening project; larger ones can be a cozy weekend project. Sort the tiles by color number, fill each panel, then connect them together.

Each panel has its own numbered map showing which color goes in which spot. Colors are called by their two-digit number, which matches the label on each tile bag or compartment.

Finished panels connect into one rigid piece, which then hangs on the wall like a framed canvas. The instructions include the final layout map so you know exactly how the panels arrange.

No — keep them away from little ones. The tiles are small enough to be a choking hazard, so the kits are not suitable for children under 3 and should never be mouthed at any age. Finished pieces are wall art made for display, not play — please keep the tiles, the kit and the finished artwork out of reach of babies, toddlers and pets.
