Frequently asked questions about Fotomosaik
How many pictures do I need?
Optimal are more than 50 single pictures, regardless of the product size. Altogether usually about 1500 – 2500 pictures fit into a mosaic. So the possibilities range from a single picture to thousands! The more pictures are included, the less repetitions there are in your photo mosaic and the more clearly the main picture can be displayed.
Is there anything to pay attention to in the main image? Can it also be a logo?
For a beautiful photo mosaic we recommend a main image with many different colours and few details. There is actually hardly a picture with which we cannot make a beautiful photo mosaic! The main picture can also be a logo. The image can also be relatively small for the photo mosaic. If there should be any difficulties, we will point this out to you.
Do you also offer mosaics on postcards or as puzzle?
Theoretically it is possible to create mosaics in smaller formats. However, then the individual pictures would hardly be recognizable. Since we want to offer our customers only products of the highest quality, we do not offer mosaic postcards and puzzles
Do the colors of the individual images have to match the colors of the main image?
Different colors are no problem. If the colors do not match, we will color match the images to make sure the main image is true to color.
How large are the individual images?
We adjust the size of the images according to the image format, number of images and the type of main image. They are usually at an edge length of 9 – 20 mm.
Do all uploaded single images appear in my photo mosaic?
In general, each image appears at least once in your photo mosaic. Except, more pictures were uploaded than single pictures fit into the photo mosaic. However, if certain images in the main image are disturbing, we reserve the right to remove them.
Is it possible that the display direction of the single images changes?
In order to have as many single images as possible available for the creation of your mosaic, we use not only the originals but also their respective mirror images. This can lead to unwanted effects – especially if single images contain text elements. If you do not agree with the standard mirroring of single images in your mosaic, please let us know when sending us your preview request.
Can I also only have the image file of the photo mosaic?
You are welcome to buy only a digital file in PDF format. You can also order the PDF version of your mosaic with each product as an accessory.
How does the order process work?
First click on “Free preview”, upload main picture & single pictures and specify if your photo mosaic should be printed on poster, canvas, aluminium or acrylic glass.

How large may the pictures be?

Can I upload scanned images?
Sure, if they are uploaded as jpg! When scanning, however, the area around the image is also scanned. Therefore we recommend to remove this area with an image editing program before uploading
How long does it take to upload the pictures?
With an average Internet connection, uploading takes about 1 second per image thanks to image compression.

Can you ship two orders together?
Sure! But as an exception, posters can only be shipped together with another poster. One poster and one canvas will be shipped separately for logistical reasons.
I need my photo mosaic really fast!
For customers who would like to order a poster, canvas, Alu-DiBond or Forex, there is the possibility to pay via PayPal and choose the option “express delivery”. Thus the photo mosaic will arrive at the delivery address about 2 days after receipt of payment. As far as processing is concerned, however, we treat all our orders the same – and all of them quickly!
Can I pick up my photo mosaic at your place?
A collection of the mosaic is possible in individual cases, please contact us.
There are two different ways to create a photo mosaic. With freeware programs or other manufacturers, only a photo collage is created and the main image is laid over it trasparently. We have developed a mosaic software which works with many different parameters and positions the single images in a way that they are inserted at the right place of the main image. This way we achieve much clearer single images and it is a real photo mosaic where the main image is created from the single images.
During the creation of the free preview all our mosaics are edited and optimized by hand. Furthermore we give you individual tips for your mosaic and revise your change requests also free of charge. A friendly and personal customer contact is very important to us.
Furthermore there is a lot to consider during the production, especially with the product canvas. Through our many years of experience we have been able to optimize a lot, so that we can produce the best possible print quality for all products. Therefore we use a specially developed and high-quality fabric for canvas, on which the individual images are most clearly visible. But also our other products are all produced in fineart print. Unlike other manufacturers, there are no small pixel dots in the individual images.
Who are you?
Brothers Sander and Joris Oudendijk founded MakeMyMosaic in 2009 and have been pushing the idea of the personal photo mosaic ever since. The idea was also well received by the customers and so the demand for our products has been increasing continuously. As we could no longer manage the work on our own, we have put together a team of young & creative people to support us actively. In this way we can guarantee a customer-oriented and fast service!
Do you have a job for me?
Not at the moment.
But if you still think we should get to know you, then get in touch with us!
