How to turn a photo into a lego mosaic pattern
Every square is one 1×1 round plate, tile or brick in a current LEGO color, with its color name and a symbol. The plan is split into 16 × 16 sections and the parts list counts the pieces of each color.
- You need
- One photo. 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.

Photo to LEGO Mosaic: questions
How big is a 48 × 48 mosaic?
One stud is 8 mm, so 48 studs is 38.4 cm (15.1 inches), the size of a standard 48 × 48 baseplate or nine 16 × 16 plates.
Where do I buy the pieces?
The parts list names each LEGO color and count, so you can order 1×1 round plates or tiles from LEGO Pick a Brick or BrickLink.
Is this made by LEGO?
No. LEGO is a trademark of the LEGO Group, which doesn't make, sponsor or endorse this site.
Is it free?
Partly. The color preview is free for everyone, and a new account gets 5 full patterns free. After that the full pattern (PDF chart with symbols, color codes, counts and the shopping list) is $1.99 on its own, or from $0.20 a pattern with credits (15 for $4.99).
Do I need an account?
No. Pick a photo and pay for just that pattern; it stays in My patterns on this browser. Sign in with Google or email to keep patterns on any device and to buy credit packs or plans.
What do I get?
A PDF you can print on A4 or Letter: the chart with a symbol in every square, bold lines every 10 squares, row and column numbers, split over pages for big designs; the color key with brand codes and counts; what to buy; and the finished size. Plus a PNG of the whole chart. Download them again any time from My patterns.
Is my photo private?
Your photo is shrunk to 600 pixels on your own device before it is sent, and only you can see it and your patterns. Photos are deleted automatically within 30 days, and you can delete them, your patterns or your account at any time.
What if the pattern isn't right?
Change the size or number of colors and look at the preview again before paying. If your first paid pattern still isn't right, email us within 7 days for a full refund.
Do credits expire?
No. Credits from packs never expire; one credit makes one pattern of any craft and size.
Can I cancel a plan?
Yes, in one click under My patterns. It doesn't renew, and the credits you have stay.
How do I pay?
Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through a secure hosted checkout. We never see your card number.
Can I sell what I make?
You can sell the finished pieces you make from your own photos. The pattern file is for your own use. Questions: support@photopatternmaker.com.
