How It Works
Create stunning brick-built mosaics from your favorite photos in three simple steps.
Upload Your Memories
Start by uploading any photo from your device. Whether it's a portrait, a landscape, or a pet, PhotoToBrick analyzes colors and shapes to calculate a buildable blueprint. Supported formats include JPG, PNG, and WEBP.
Pro Tip:
Higher contrast images often result in more striking LEGO® mosaics.
Configure Your Design
Customize your mosaic using our interactive editor. Adjust the size (number of baseplates), choose between 1x1 pieces or optimized larger pieces, and fine-tune contrast, saturation, and brightness.
Pro Tip:
The 1x1 mode offers classic mosaic aesthetics, while 'Optimize' uses larger bricks to speed up assembly.
Get Your Blueprints
Once you are satisfied with the preview, generate your full instructions. You will receive a complete Bill of Materials (BOM) listing every piece needed, plus a step-by-step plate assembly guide.
Pro Tip:
Export your materials list to Excel to easily shop for pieces on BrickLink or the official LEGO® store.
Standard Dimensions & Baseplates
Mosaics are built upon standard LEGO® baseplates of 48x48 studs. You can configure dimensions from a single baseplate up to a 6x6 multi-plate display.
| Baseplate Grid | Dimensions | Studs Count | Suggested For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 x 1 baseplate (48x48 studs) | 38.4 x 38.4 cm (15.1 x 15.1 in) | 2,304 studs | Single portraits, close-up faces, logos and simple icons |
| 2 x 1 baseplates (96x48 studs) | 76.8 x 38.4 cm (30.2 x 15.1 in) | 4,608 studs | Horizontal portraits, pets, panoramic landscapes |
| 2 x 2 baseplates (96x96 studs) | 76.8 x 76.8 cm (30.2 x 30.2 in) | 9,216 studs | Couple portraits, detailed artworks, statement wall displays |
| 3 x 3 baseplates (144x144 studs) | 115.2 x 115.2 cm (45.4 x 45.4 in) | 20,736 studs | Large wall murals, complex compositions at ultra-high fidelity |
