Genuine Photo Mosaics

Our mosaic images are genuine mosaics, meaning each of the small mosaic photos is analyzed and perfectly integrated into the image using a special optimization process. The best position is determined by comparing both colors and contours in the images.

Many mosaic images from other providers are not "genuine," as they merely superimpose the main image over the tiles, and the many small individual images are simply placed side by side.
At first glance, the photo mosaic may look like a mosaic image, but the tiles are not properly arranged.

With a genuine mosaic image, the color of the individual small photos matches much better to the position on the main image. As a result, the main image does not need to be heavily overlaid on the tiles.

Variety of Mosaic Types

Unlike many other providers, we can create not only "normal" mosaic images, where equally sized tiles are arranged side by side and below each other. With us, you can even choose between several mosaic types.

The mosaic images are created using the same algorithm that powers the Photo-Mosaic-Edda. A complex calculation process analyzes the individual tiles and their colors to optimally arrange them for the mosaic effect. Subsequently, a slight overlay of the original image can enhance the mosaic effect to suit personal preferences.

Customer Reviews

It was my first mosaic photo and I was a bit worried. But then it was created in 15 minutes and delivered within a week (express shipping)! The result (gift) was impressive!

The car mosaic I ordered is really, really cool and came out very nicely. The paper quality is excellent and feels very high-end.

The only thing worth noting is that it isn’t a true mosaic. The image is created by tinting and shading colors rather than using the actual individual images to form the larger picture. In other words, it’s composed of color tones, not photo tiles.

That said, it still looks great, and I’ll likely order from them again.

Reply from Rapid-Mosaic
We’re glad to hear that you’re happy with your mosaic and the quality of the print. Actually, your finished mosaic is a genuine photo mosaic, created by placing your individual small images based on color and brightness—unlike many other providers who only simulate a mosaic effect. If you look closely at your car mosaic, you’ll notice, for example, that your night photos were carefully arranged in the darker areas of the larger image for the best visual match. The effect becomes stronger the more unique small photos are available, as the mosaic engine can then use different areas of those small photos to build up the main picture. Additionally, to further reinforce the overall subject and make the mosaic even clearer, we offer the option to blend the original main image lightly over the mosaic tiles. This overlay’s strength is adjustable, letting you find the ideal balance between visible photo tiles and the clarity of the main subject.
Fast delivery, everything as expected, great service
