Steps

  1. Pick a photo with one clear subject. Faces and pets need 48 studs or more; logos and cartoons look good at 32. Fewer colors make the parts cheaper and the picture bolder.
  2. Upload it on the photo to lego mosaic page and choose the width and how many colors. The preview updates as you change them.
  3. Get the full pattern: After that the full pattern is ⁠$1.99⁠ on its own, or from ⁠$0.20⁠ a pattern with credits (⁠$4.99⁠ for 15). Credits never expire.
  4. Print the PDF (A4 or Letter): the chart with symbols, the color key with codes and counts, and what to buy.
