Design A Mosaic

Putting the "Personal" Back in Personalized Photo Gifts

Design Photo Mosiac

Stunning photo mosaics make unique photo gifts--ones that'll keep wowing everyone who sees them for years to come. At Design A Mosaic, they make it easy for you to take all your favorite digital pictures and create your own personalized photo mosaic. Simply upload your images (as few as 20 is fine), select your options, and they'll take care of the rest. You will get a digital preview of your photo mosaic.

The feedback on Design A Mosaic has been great - both customer service and the mosaics themselves. There are several good services - but this is a favorite.

Mosaically

Mosaically to discover, make, share, and sell photo mosaic art.

Mosaically

Mosaically's Online Photo Mosaic Maker software lets you choose the big, main picture and the small, tile pictures to make your photo mosaic collage art within minutes. Then you can share it with your friends online for free, order prints, download digital files, or sell it online or offline for profit or fundraising.

Scrapwalls

Photo canvases, photo blankets and photo greeting cards!

scrapwalls

I thought I had tried out all the photo collage tools out there, but a reader left me a comment about Scrapwalls.com and I was amazed! This website lets you upload pictures, make them into a shape collage, and order high-quality prints. You can share ScrapWalls collages online for free on Facebook or via a direct link. Each collage can include hundreds of pictures arranged however you like.

I love the variety of shapes - wedding, wedding kiss, US map, paw, wedding cake, mountain, tree and even a teddy bear! Other services have some interesting shapes but the technology that differentiates ScrapWalls from other software is its patent-pending auto-placement engine. ScrapWalls will automatically arrange photos to cover any shape without gaps or overlapping - something you can't get anywhere else!

But that isn't all. ScrapWalls also lets you place photos anywhere you want. It will automatically adjust surrounding photos to eliminate gaps and overlapping, leaving a picture-perfect shape collage!

Try out Shape Collage

Shape Collage Online is a web application that takes photos from anywhere on the web and automatically creates a photo collage in a number of different shapes, such as a rectangle, heart, cat, or a word.

Besides the aesthetic nature of these collages, they can also serve as image browsing tools because the individual photos in these online collages can be clicked to take you to the high resolution photo or the webpage that was linked to by the original image. This is particularly interesting when you use images from sites like YouTube, Amazon, eBay, or news websites, because it lets you visually scan through a large number of videos, shopping items, or news articles very quickly, and then you can click on the ones that interest you.

You could even insert specific images as a sort of personal signature, or as a hidden picture riddle (as in a "Where are they?" puzzle book). Or you might need to make sure that a particularly well-liked image is not passed over as a tile; for example that Uncle Bob appears somewhere in your final mosaic. Wherea most of the mosaic and collage tools we have reviewed are web based, Mazaika is released as shareware software you download - including a free trial version.

Frintr Facebook Collages

MySpace and Twitter Collages Too

Frintr

Frintr creates a collage of all your friend's profile pictures and tries to arrange them in such a way that when viewed from a distance they appear to form another image, most often your own profile picture. For best results you will need at least 50 friends, the more friends, the more profile pictures you can use and so the more detailed and less repetitive the final collaged Frint will appear.You can make as many low resolution (600x600) collages as you want, free of charge, if you'd like a higher resolution version then you can pay for a digital download or have an A3 print posted to you. As you can see in the comments - it's still evolving, but I like the potential.
