Rapid-Mosaic creates a large photo mosaic from many smaller photos, using either an online service or Windows software. Its styles include Classic, Parquet, Detail, and Chaos. A preview lets users compare variations and adjust tile size and blending with the original image. Online previews are free and can be adjusted before deciding whether to order a print or purchase a high-resolution JPG download. The free Standard Windows software creates mosaics locally without uploading source photos. Professional adds JPG saving, multicore support, and 64-bit support; it costs £29.00 once, including sales tax. The online service accepts image uploads from smartphones, tablets, PCs, and Macs, but the downloadable software is not compatible with Mac OS X or Linux. The maker says uploaded images and related data can be deleted manually or are automatically deleted after a year without website access. Print and order data are retained longer for quality assurance, reordering, and legal traceability.
Who it is for
Rapid-Mosaic suits beginners and experienced users making personal gifts or business mosaics. Choose the Windows software for local creation, or the online service if you use a Mac, tablet, or smartphone.
