I know a lot of people who love photography and some who love being part of photos. Also, with my exposure to Internet I can comfortably understand how the art of photography has evolved. Some interesting forms of photography include Polaroid, HDR and so on. One of the kind of photography that excites me probably after HDR is mosaic. True that you cannot shoot a mosaic image from your camera. But while processing I am sure you can do a lot of stuff to make mosaic and make it look even more beautiful than normal photos.

In the field of photographic imaging, a photographic mosaic (also known under the term Photomosaic, a portmanteau of photo and mosaic, trademarked by Runaway Technology, Inc.) is a picture (usually a photograph) that has been divided into (usually equal sized) rectangular sections, each of which is replaced with another photograph of appropriate average color. When viewed at low magnifications, the individual pixels appear as the primary image, while close examination reveals that the image is in fact made up of many hundreds or thousands of smaller images.

Today we’ll look at a service that will make for you mosaic photos in just few steps. Best part is that it’s an online service and hence can be accessed from anywhere. This service is called as pixisnap and looks very promising.

All you have to do is upload a primary photo (the photo which will be converted to mosaic) and then enter all the photos which will combine to form the mosaic photos. Following is the mosaic I have created.
