Choosing a size

Bigger poster, bigger tiles.

Quality score

Questions

Poster mosaic, answered

How many photos do I need for a photo mosaic?

At least 100 photos, plus the one picture you want the mosaic to show. More is better: 300–1,000 varied photos give a noticeably richer, more detailed mosaic, especially on large posters.

What kind of photos work best?

Sharp photos with a mix of colours, light and subjects. Include bright, dark and colourful shots so every part of your picture finds a good match. Near-identical shots (bursts, Live Photos) count, but they lower the quality score.

How large must each photo be?

Each photo needs to be at least 800 × 600 pixels. Almost every phone or camera photo is far larger. Smaller images are skipped and we tell you which ones.

Can I use iPhone (HEIC) photos?

Yes in Safari on Mac, iPhone and iPad, which read HEIC natively. In other browsers, export the photos as JPEG first or pick them from Google Photos.

What sizes can I order?

Posters from 13 × 18 cm up to 75 × 100 cm and A-sizes, framed posters from 13 × 18 cm up to 70 × 100 cm, in portrait or landscape. Small sizes are only offered when your photos give a good result at that size.
