Mosaic Creator

What Mosaic Creator is

Mosaic Creator is Windows software for producing photo mosaics, collages, tile designs, pixel art, video animations, text mosaics and ASCII art. Its Mosaic Wizard guides users in selecting a mosaic type and configuring it. A mosaic calculator can prepare tile work plans and preview material lists for physical mosaics, and the software can render video mosaics from video frame sequences or static images.

The maker describes more than 60 patterns and a pattern editor on the product page; its Professional purchase listing specifies more than 80 patterns. The software supports BMP, PNG, TIFF and JPG images, with AVI available for image sequences. Its 30-day trial restricts output image size to 20 MB and places the program name on images. Lite has a 25 MB output image limit and lacks a pattern editor. The maker recommends Professional for commercial work and large photo mosaic posters, graphics and text mosaics. Paid editions include email technical support, and the maker provides FAQs, lessons and tutorials. Lite costs $29, paid once, an update from Lite to Professional costs $79, paid once, and Professional costs $99, paid once. The download page lists Windows 7/8/10/11, at least 2 GB RAM, 30 MB program disk space and at least 500 MB storage for rendered images.
