What Mazaika is
Mazaika is desktop software that turns a source image into a picture assembled from other pictures. It replaces regions of the source with matching images from a collection, and users can manually change individual tiles when they want a different result. Rendering options include real-time color correction and blending, sharpening, smart or manual rendering, repetition control, and batch mosaic processing.
A full-version license costs $49.95 once for either Mac or Windows. Full versions support unlimited mosaic resolution and export JPG, TIF, PSB, BMP, TXT, or HTML files; HTML can be made clickable and zoomable. The free trial lasts 30 days and limits output to 2500 by 2500 pixels, tile size to 32 by 32, and exports to JPG. Mazaika runs on Windows and macOS; Linux operation has been tested through Crossover (WINE). The Mac edition can create libraries from iPhoto, Aperture, Apple Photos, folders, or individual image files.
The software says its applications do not collect, use, save, or access personal data, and settings stay on the user's device. Registered users receive priority email support, and context-sensitive help is available with F1. A command-line interface is available; details can be requested from the maker. The software has been used for printed artwork, advertisements, and web projects.
