Image Optimizer

What it does

Not every image makes a good mosaic. Image Optimizer adjusts a source image — cropping, sizing, contrast and tonal balance — so its shapes and details survive the translation into a grid of discrete tiles.

It is an independent tool with its own dedicated usage, separate from the main design environment.

How it works

• Upload the photograph or artwork you want to mosaic.
• Apply preparation adjustments aimed at mosaic readability.
• Preview how the optimized image reads at mosaic scale.
• Use the optimized image as the source for a Tile Mosaic Maker project.

Where it fits in the workflow

Image preparation sits between choosing a picture and designing the mosaic. A well-prepared image reduces color noise, keeps silhouettes readable, and leads to cleaner workplans downstream in Tile Mosaic Maker.
