What is the Mosaic effect?
Mosaic turns your photo into a grid of small physical-looking pieces. Graffa offers five styles: Lego brick, bead, cross-stitch, LED matrix and tile. Each reads like a different craft or display, from toy-brick portraits to the glowing pixels of an LED sign.
Cell size controls how big each piece is, and Gap controls the space between them. Larger cells make the style obvious from a distance; smaller cells keep more detail.
