Step 1: Upload Main Image

Upload the image you want your mosaic to display. It serves as the template and will later be composed of countless small pictures.

Choose a subject with few details: The simpler and more high-contrast the image, the better the result – small details don’t show up well in a mosaic. The image should be at least 1000×1000 pixels. The format doesn’t matter, since you can crop it in the next step.

Good example of high contrast: brown dog in front of blue sea and white surf
Bad example: brown dog on brown autumn leaves, hardly any contrast to the background
1. High Contrast

Light and dark areas should be clearly separated. This creates a mosaic with stronger contrast and more visible detail.

Good example: couple photographed close up, their faces fill the frame
Bad example: couple small in a wide landscape, the main subject fills only a small part
2. Large Main Subject

Your subject should take up as much of the image as possible. Avoid very small people or objects in the distance.

Good example: woman on a jetty in front of calm, evenly blue water
Bad example: woman in front of an ornate painted ceiling – the busy background is distracting
3. Clean Background

A clean background keeps the focus on the main subject and helps create a more balanced mosaic.

Good example: young man with a hat, his face is brightly and evenly lit
Bad example: portrait of a young man in semi-darkness, his face is barely lit
4. Good Lighting

Natural daylight or even lighting helps produce clear colors and better results.

There are no limits to your creativity: Portraits, animals, and landscapes work just as well as logos, symbols, numbers, or lettering. The most important thing is a clear, high-contrast subject.

Absolutely! You can remove the main image at any time and upload a different one. Even after the mosaic has finished processing, you can simply start over and try a different subject.
