How it works
Gentle to make.
Made to last.
Creating a mosaic takes about ten minutes of gathering and a few days of our craft. Here is the whole journey.
1 — Choose the portrait
This is the image people will see from across the room: the photograph that is most them. If you're unsure between two, you can preview both — the right one tends to be obvious the moment you see it as a mosaic.
2 — Gather the moments
Add the photos that become the tiles. Fifty photos make a lovely mosaic; a few hundred make an extraordinary one. Ask family for theirs — the gathering itself often becomes an afternoon of shared stories. Everyday phone photos are perfect.
3 — We compose it
Our engine—refined over thousands of mosaics—places every photo where its colours serve the portrait, and our process ensures faces stay visible and no image is lost or distorted. You see a full preview before anything is printed, and you can adjust until it feels right.
4 — Printed and delivered
Museum-grade printing on archival fine art paper, canvas, or acrylic glass, in sizes from desk to statement wall. Fully insured delivery, free within Europe. Your photographs remain private — used only for your mosaic, never for anything else.
