Beware that it may take a long time to process!
This works by uploading the file to this server for processing. When done you will be presented with a link to the mosaic. All images can be fetched by anyone who knows the link, so please don't upload sensitive images.
All images are deleted periodically, so download any results you want to keep immediately.
A photomosaic (or photographic mosaic) is a picture made up of many individual sub-pictures.

I need images to use to create all the tiles that the image is made up of. Therefore I use a library of
images to pick tiles from. If images of the right colors are missing, I substitute with made up tiles instead.
