Create a photo mosaic – How it works

What is a photo mosaic?

A photo mosaic is one large overall image composed of many small individual pictures. From a normal viewing distance, the chosen main subject is easy to recognise. When you look more closely, you can see the many photos of your memories from which the mosaic is made.

How is a photo mosaic created?

Creating a photo mosaic requires one main image and many individual photos. First, you choose the subject that should appear in the finished overall image. You then upload your memory photos. Drawing on our many years of experience, we arrange the small pictures so that together they form the main subject.

What is the purpose of the main image?

The main image determines the subject of the finished photo mosaic. Pictures with a clearly recognisable subject, strong contrast and good image quality work especially well. The main image could be a portrait, a photograph of a couple or family, a team picture, a company logo or a club badge.

Which photos are suitable as the small pictures?

Photos of shared experiences, travels, celebrations, family moments, friends, colleagues or club events all work well as the small pictures. A varied selection creates plenty of moments of discovery when the finished mosaic is viewed. Where possible, avoid using too many similar shots from the same photo series.

How many photos are required?

A photo mosaic can be created from a relatively small selection of pictures. However, several hundred different photos make the result especially varied. Depending on the occasion and the available collection, thousands of individual pictures can also be used.

Can photos be used more than once?

Individual photos may appear more than once within the mosaic. The number of repetitions required depends on how many pictures you upload and the selected mosaic size. The more different photos are available, the more varied the arrangement will be.

How do the individual pictures form the main image?

The calculation takes the colours and brightness values of the small photos into account. The main image is also placed transparently over the individual pictures. This keeps the large subject clearly recognisable while allowing you to continue viewing each memory photo.

Can I review the photo mosaic before ordering?

Once it has been calculated, your photo mosaic is available in an online preview. There, you can view the overall subject from a distance and zoom right into the individual photos. This allows you to review the result before placing an order.

Can the result still be changed?

The photo mosaic can be recalculated if the result does not yet match what you had in mind. For example, you can replace the main image, add more photos or remove individual pictures. You only choose the desired finish once you are happy with the result.

How long does creation take?

Selecting and uploading the images normally takes only a few minutes. The photo mosaic is then calculated and prepared for online review. Production of the chosen printed finish only begins after you place your order.

Which finishes are available?

The finished photo mosaic can be ordered on canvas, as a poster or on acrylic glass. A digital file is also available. The different finishes vary in their visual effect, surface texture and method of presentation.

Which size is suitable for a photo mosaic?

Photo mosaics work especially well in larger formats because the individual pictures are easier to recognise. The right size depends on the number of photos used, the intended viewing distance and the available space. A correspondingly large print area is recommended when using many individual pictures.

Why choose photo-mosaic.co.uk?

photo-mosaic.co.uk specialises in designing and producing individual photo mosaics. Creation and the online preview are free and without obligation. You only pay once you are happy with the result and order it as a print or digital file.
