Photo mosaic

A photo mosaic is a picture made out of smaller pictures. This shortcut creates a photo mosaic from a subject image and a library of smaller images. The subject image is divided into a grid of tiles, and each tile is replaced with a smaller image from the library that best matches the original tile. The result is a mosaic that looks like the subject image from a distance, but is made up of smaller images up close. ## Features - Works on iOS/iPadOS/macOS without any third-party apps - Use images or videos to create mosaic image tile library - Multiple configuration options to control mosaic size/detail and repetition of used image tiles - Advanced multi-point image tile matching to create the best possible reproduction of the subject image - View usage of image tiles to help you understand which tiles are most repeated - Progress notifications while it's running - Advanced configuration options can be set at the top of the shortcut ## Notes/Limitations - 100% vanilla shortcut—no third-party apps necessary—utilizing built-in JavaScript support to perform advanced mosaic tile color matching - If the shortcut crashes ("There was a problem running Photo mosaic"), try preprocessing mosaic tiles (step 2) to lower image size - I won't tell you how to use this tool, but if you want my opinion, a good mosaic requires more than just a large tile library and a subject image. The subject image should have a good balance of colors and contrast, and should be a "good" image/photo; ideally something meaningful. Then the tile library should be able to reproduce the colors and contrast of the subject image, but should also contextually match the subject image. For example, a mosaic of the moon made from images from NASA's Apollo missions, or from other space images.
