PicTiler
What it is
PicTiler is a web tool for creating photo mosaics from smaller tile images. You can supply your own tile images or search stock photo libraries, then the tool matches tile colors and tones automatically. Controls let you adjust tile size, repetition, unique color matching, and overlay intensity. The site lists JPG, PNG, and WebP as supported input and download formats; it says mosaics can be downloaded at up to 4K resolution. A free service provides standard-quality output for personal and commercial use. A paid HD service offers enhanced resolution and quality options, but no price is listed. The maker says mosaic processing happens locally in the browser and uploaded images are not sent to its servers. Mosaic history, preferences, and app state are stored locally in the browser using IndexedDB. Basic use does not require an account or signup. Image searches may send queries to Unsplash, Pexels, or Pixabay. The terms require users to have rights to images they upload or use. The listed maximum output resolution is 14400 px.
