Main product — desktop software

Tile Mosaic Maker X9 — professional standalone mosaic design software

Installed desktop software for designing tile mosaics and preparing everything production needs: tile statistics, detailed workplans, and robot operation code.

Creating and assembling mosaics has traditionally been a time-consuming process. Tile Mosaic Maker X9 helps artists, designers and producers turn any image into a buildable mosaic — quickly, and against real tile collections.

Two editions are available: X9 Standard (US$99) and X9 PRO (US$585).

Trial installer: Windows 64-bit. Direct purchase includes both Windows and Mac versions. Also available from the Microsoft Store.

What you can create

One tool, many mosaic crafts

Tile mosaics, glass mosaics, tessera artwork, diamond mosaics, carpet patterns, cross-stitch — the same image-to-pattern engine drives them all.

Ceramic tile mosaics

The classic use case: glazed ceramic tesserae mapped from photographs and artwork.

Crystal glass mosaics

Designs tuned for translucent glass tile collections and their specific palettes.

Carpet patterns

The same image-to-pattern pipeline drives carpet and textile designs.

Design workflow

From image to production documents

The workflow stays the same whether the mosaic is ten cells across or a thousand.

  1. Import your image

    Any image can be converted into a mosaic design. Pictures with vibrant colors and high contrast — oil paintings, cartoon drawings — tend to yield the best results.

  2. Select tile samples

    Import custom tile samples or work from tile libraries, so every cell in the design maps to a tile you can actually buy.

  3. Choose shapes and patterns

    Pick from 5 cell shapes — including Ellipse and Hexagon — and lay them out on Grid, Circle or Spiral patterns.

  4. Adjust and render

    An advanced render engine with customizable options lets you refine the mosaic until it reads well from viewing distance.

  5. Output production documents

    Generate tile statistics sheets for purchasing materials, and detailed workplan sheets that guide assembly — by hand or by machine.

Standard vs. PRO

Choose your edition

Both editions share the same design workflow. PRO lifts the capacity limits and adds the production and automation toolset.

Note: mosaic cell counts (200×200 / 1,000×1,000) describe how many tiles a design can contain. The larger preview canvas sizes quoted for PRO (6000×6000 and 8000×8000) are the pixel dimensions of the rendered preview image — a preview packs many pixels per cell, so the two numbers measure different things and do not conflict.
