3 Easy Steps
Step 1: Choose your Main Photo
This is the large photo that will be made up of all the small photos. It should be good quality, a minimum file size of 1mb.
Please note, I may suggest a cropping and/or edit of this photo if I think it might enhance the final image. That’s all communicated with you.
Step 2: Choose your small Photos
These will make up your mosaic. A minimum of 100 is required but 200 to 300, or more, is better, (up to 1000) as the more images used the less repeats on your final image.
Step 3: Send your Photos
The methods below are safe, free and easy to use. You upload them here and I download them and set to work to produce your unique mosaic. My preferred option is Wetransfer.com but you can use Google Drive or Dropbox. Choose which ever you find easier to use. If you’re not familiar with any of the methods, don’t worry I can talk you through the process.

FAQs

You need to send one photo of a good file size (at least 2mb) to use for the main image. And at least 100 other photos to use as the small photos that make up the mosaic. 200 to 300 is advised or even more (max. 1000). The more photos that are used the less they will be repeated throughout the finished mosaic.

A Standard Mosaic is your main photo fully ‘mosaiced’ with your small photos. This is better when the subject or subjects are in close-up.
A Layered Mosaic is the subject or subjects are removed from making the mosaic and then layered back after the process. This is better when the main photo is of a group or not in close-up.
