Unlike programs that create photo mosaics only, this program gives you almost unlimited freedom to create your photographic paintings yourself, based on a library of bitmaps with an extensive range of supporting creativity tools. We offer an exotic range of additional effects to play with pattern, texture, shadow, colour, shape and other effects that you find in many bitmap editing software. Actually, we have combined the basics of photo editing and painting with the possibilities of photo mosaic creation.

Mosaizer XVi is based on three fundamental creativity tools: pattern generation, transparent masks and the Mosaizer. The basis of each photo mosaic is selecting the pattern for putting the individual picture tiles. With masks you can leverage the transparency and colour match of bitmaps to create surprising effects. You can add your own masks. The 'Mosaizer' is a tool to recreate a bitmap from pieces of itself, like a jig-saw. In case you would like to know more... check out this promotion video on YouTube.

Mosaizer Video 2.0  takes mosaic creation one step further: creating mosaic videos. There are two possibilities: animating from a still source picture mosaic, or using actual video footage, and recreate that footage to a mosaic movie, with zoom in and out, enlarging the tiles in the process. As far as we know this is a truly unique feature, only accessible to professional video services.

One word of caution. Although we have tried to make the interface, the function and use of the different controls and the work flow as easy as possible, the user has to keep in mind that mosaic creation is a highly professional job. On the web many similar products can be found who claim to have a 1-2-3 step approach, but they typically lack in options, pre- and post-processing and quality management. It's therefore highly recommended to frequently consult this help documentation.

Mosaizer XV or XVi? This help document is based on the interface of Mosaizer XV and Video 1.0. The latest versions, starting with Mosaizer XVi and Mosaizer Video 2.0 don't have a dedicated web-based help any more. These applications come with a Manual and in-app support for most controls and group of controls. Nevertheless, this web-based documentation is still very valid because 1. the interface is quite similar of the new versions, and 2. the content is almost identical, is explaining thè key features, showing examples and following the tutorial chapters. We ask of yuo some flexibility when using this document while running the newest builds. Thank you!

Grear worked-out examples are found on our website. Your imagination is the only limit !

Easy installation and quick start
