For builders
Serious tools, playful results.
Everything a hobbyist needs to plan a mosaic properly, and nothing that gets in the way.
True-to-life color
CIEDE2000 matching against 41 solid colors keeps the hue in dark shades, so shadows don't turn muddy brown. Every color can be bought, from LEGO® or BrickLink.
Edit every brick
Draw single bricks, repaint every brick of one color at once, or trace over the original. Undo and redo included.
Your shopping list, your way

Questions
Good to know
Do you send me the bricks?
No. We give you everything you need to buy them: exact quantities, plus upload-ready lists for LEGO® Pick a Brick and BrickLink. You order genuine parts directly, and we never mark them up.
How much will the parts cost?
It depends on the size, not the picture, because every tile costs the same. At LEGO's prices, with the plates and frame, a 16 × 16 comes to about $55, a 48 × 48 about $185 and a 48 × 144 about $510. The free preview shows an estimated parts cost for your exact mosaic before you pay anything.
What kind of photo works best?
A clear, well-lit photo with one main subject. Close-up faces work great for pets and people. You can zoom, rotate and adjust brightness, contrast and saturation before converting.
How big is the finished mosaic?
Each stud is 8 mm. The standard 48 × 48 is 38.4 cm square, and the ultra-wide 48 × 144 is 115.2 cm across. Small 16 × 16 pieces are 12.8 cm.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
Not to make your mosaic: the conversion happens right in your browser. If you sign in, your project is saved to your account so you can pick it up on another device, and that includes the photo it was made from.
Is this made by the LEGO Group?
No. Brick Art Creator is an independent tool. LEGO® is a trademark of the LEGO Group, which doesn't sponsor, authorize or endorse this site.
What will you build first?
Pick a photo, watch it snap into bricks, and see what it takes to build. Free, with nothing to install.
