Photo Mosaica turns a selected photo into a high-resolution mosaic built from other images in the device library. You can zoom in to inspect the pictures used as tiles, and the free features include controls for mosaic diversity and size. Photo-sized mosaics can be shared on Facebook, Flickr, or by email. The Deluxe upgrade adds saving for poster-sized, zoomable mosaics, selection of folders or albums, and the ability to exclude chosen photos. It also includes a tool to check which colours may be missing from the source images. The App Store lists compatibility with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch; its Mac requirements are macOS 11 or later and an Apple M1 chip or later. Version history lists printing options such as canvas posters, mugs, and cushions. The Free plan is 0.00 USD per free; Deluxe Features is 0.99 USD per once. ZeMind, an independent game studio in Toronto, Canada, makes the app. Apple’s App Store page says the developer has not provided it with details about privacy practices or data handling.
