Brick mosaic maker
In short: Turn a photo into a brick-built mosaic made of 1×1 plates or round tiles: choose 32, 48 or 64 studs wide, set the colour limit and get a stud-by-stud chart with the number of plates in each common brick colour and the 16×16 baseplates needed. Not affiliated with any toy brand. Free: unlimited on-screen patterns, colour key, materials list and PNG chart download. PDFs up to 60×60 are always free, plus your first full-size PDF; after that a larger print-ready PDF is $2.99 per photo, or $7.99 for 30 days of unlimited PDFs.
