"EasyMoza vs Mosaically vs getmoza: Photo Mosaic Makers Compared (2026)"
If you search for a photo mosaic maker, three names come up again and again: EasyMoza, Mosaically and getmoza. All three turn a folder of your photos into one large mosaic image. They differ a lot in price, print options and what the finished mosaic actually looks like up close.
We build one of them, so read this with that in mind — but every price below is taken from the services' own public pages (July 2026), and we'll be upfront about where each tool genuinely wins.
The short version
- Cheapest digital file: EasyMoza (€5.95 XL / €9.95 XXL)
- Best for online sharing & group collaboration: Mosaically (free zoomable sharing; downloads from $49)
- Best for print quality and tile sharpness: getmoza (downloads €9.95–€49.95, gallery-grade prints from €39)
All three let you try before you pay.

Where each one wins
EasyMoza — the budget pick
EasyMoza has been around for years and keeps things simple: upload, build, download a JPG, no account needed. At €5.95–€9.95 it's the cheapest way to get a printable mosaic file, and its basic mosaic video is free. There's no print service — you take the file to a print shop yourself — and the mosaic style is the classic colour-tinted grid, which looks right from a distance but the individual tile photos lose a lot of their detail up close.
Pick EasyMoza if: you want the cheapest possible file and you're happy to organise printing yourself.
Mosaically — the sharing pick
Mosaically's standout feature is the free zoomable online mosaic: you can share a link and people can pan and zoom into every tile in the browser, and friends can add photos collaboratively — great for group gifts and memorials where many people contribute. The trade-off is price: a downloadable file starts at $49 and prints start at $129, several times the price of the alternatives.
Pick Mosaically if: the shareable zoomable web version is the product for you, and price matters less.
getmoza — the print-quality pick
getmoza (that's us) focuses on one thing: mosaics that survive close inspection — every tile stays sharp and recognisable up close, rather than being tinted into a faint overlay of the main image. You preview free with no signup, download a print-ready 300 DPI file from €9.95, or order a finished print directly: paper from €39, aluminum from €109, acrylic from €199 or a gallery frame from €315, produced by a German fine-art lab and shipped across Europe, the UK, North America and Oceania. It's also the only one of the three that can pull your tile photos straight from a public Instagram handle instead of uploading them one by one.
Pick getmoza if: the mosaic is going on a wall — as a print or a gift — and you want the tile photos to actually be visible when someone walks up to it.
How to judge any mosaic maker in 30 seconds
Whichever tool you try, apply the same test before paying: zoom into the preview at 100% and look at a single tile. If you can clearly recognise the small photo — faces, colours, detail — it's a true mosaic. If the tile looks grey, washed out, or suspiciously like a miniature of the big picture, the tool is tinting thumbnails rather than building a real mosaic. We wrote a longer guide on this: what makes a true photo mosaic.
Try it with your own photos
The honest bottom line: all three tools are legitimate and the right choice depends on what you're making. If it's a print or a gift, build your mosaic on getmoza — upload 25+ photos or type an Instagram handle, and judge the free preview with your own eyes before spending anything.
