LEGO Art Generator — Turn a Photo Into Brick Mosaic Art

Upload your photo and the LEGO art generator pixelates it into squares, snaps each to a classic brick color, and adds a raised stud to every block. Adjust the brick size, choose Apply to see the mosaic, then download your brick mosaic.

Bold, high-contrast photos with clear subjects — close-up portraits, logos, and simple scenes — make the most recognizable brick mosaics. Smaller bricks keep more detail while larger bricks give a chunky look.

Yes. The studded grid maps to a brick layout, so you can use the result as inspiration or a rough reference for a real brick build, a poster, or a custom gift.

Preview and download a clean web-size result without creating an account; Pixoate adds no watermark. Premium unlocks the original-resolution result and supports larger batches. Photos are removed under our Security policy. This is an unaffiliated, brick-style art effect; LEGO is a trademark of its respective owner.

Yes. Batch mode supports up to 60 photos with Premium or 200 with Pro, applies the same brick-size setting to each and returns one ZIP. A clean web-size single result can be previewed and downloaded without creating an account.

Yes — after converting, the Build guide + parts list card lets you download a Pattern PDF (a printable, color-keyed grid mapping every studded square to its brick color) and a BrickLink parts list (.xml) that tallies exactly how many bricks of each color your mosaic needs. Both exports are Premium, and the grid is capped at 48 studs across so the pattern stays a buildable, baseplate-friendly size.

Download the BrickLink parts list export (Premium) from the result screen — it's an .xml wanted list sized to your specific converted image that you can import directly into BrickLink to price and order the nearest standard LEGO colors. Pair it with the Pattern PDF build guide so you know exactly where each brick goes once they arrive.

Yes — Pixoate supports batch and bulk processing. Switch to Batch mode, add up to 60 photos on Premium or 200 on Pro, set your options once, and every photo is processed with the same settings before you download a single ZIP. Bulk processing is a Premium feature; the output uses the same quality and settings as single mode.

Yes — with bulk processing you configure the settings a single time and they apply to every item in the batch — up to 60 photos on Premium or 200 on Pro. There is no need to repeat the setup per item, and Temporary uploaded and generated files are processed securely and deleted automatically.

Almost always one of three things. The file is over the 20 MB free upload limit — Premium takes 50 MB and Pro 120 MB. The format is not one this tool accepts, so check the list shown on the upload panel. Or the file is not really the format its name says: renaming a file does not change what is inside it, and that is the reason a valid-looking image gets refused.

Yes — the default look is deliberately obvious so you can see what the tool does, and most photos read better well below it. If the page has a strength or intensity slider, bring it down until the effect looks like a decision rather than a filter; if it has only style choices or an instruction box, pick a milder style or ask for a subtler look and generate again. Compare against your original before you download.

LEGO Art Generator supports free standard use within the published processing allowances. Free downloads are clean — no watermark. No signup is required for standard tool use. Photo effects and AI edits have a web-size limit on Free, with the original-resolution result available through Premium or one credit. Crop, resize, rotate, compress and convert stay full size. Premium supports batches of up to 60 files, with the applicable plan limits shown before processing.

No — LEGO Art Generator runs in the browser on desktop and phone. There is nothing to install, no trial to start, and no license to buy before you can see whether it does what you need. Try it on the file you are actually stuck with rather than a sample.

No. The tool makes a digital picture and, with Premium, a pattern PDF and a BrickLink parts-list file. Nothing is shipped, and you order and assemble the pieces yourself. The result is an art effect and is not a LEGO set or product.

The picture has roughly 70 to 160 bricks across, depending on Brick Size. The pattern PDF and parts list are resampled to at most 48 bricks on the longest side, and the PDF header shows the grid size and total count, so read that number before you order anything.

Yes, in the sense that it turns a photo into a square grid of brick-colored studs. It differs from flat pixel art because every square has a stud and the colors come from a brick-style set. For flat blocks and palettes such as Game Boy or NES, the pixel art generator fits better.

A face needs enough bricks to be read. Move Brick Size toward Small bricks, crop closer to one face, and use a photo with strong light and contrast. Group photos give each face only a few bricks, so they rarely read well. Apply again after each change, because the old result is cleared.

It is a PNG that keeps the shape of your photo. Small uploads are drawn on a wider working canvas so the studs stay visible, and without Premium the download is a web-size file. Premium returns the larger version, which suits a bigger poster.

The BrickLink wanted list asks for 1x1 plates, one per square, grouped by color with a quantity for each. It does not combine squares into larger pieces, so the total can be high for a detailed mosaic. Use the Pattern PDF to see the grid and decide how to build.
