What to put in it
Men who claim not to want gifts usually mean they do not want objects. A mosaic is not really an object — it is a record. From across the room it is one photo; up close it is the festival, the car, the mountain, the terrible flat, the dog, his team, and you in about forty of the tiles.
The strongest version is not the most romantic one. Mix the two of you with the things he is genuinely obsessed with, and it reads as his life rather than a valentine.
- The main photo: his face clear and well lit, or the two of you. Candids beat posed shots almost every time.
- The tiles: no hard minimum (the preview asks for 30), 100+ ideal, up to 300. Half your relationship, half his obsessions.
- Instagram shortcut: public handle in, feed out as tiles — no need to borrow his phone.
- Gaming/music/sport variant: the main photo can be a logo, a guitar, a bike or a crest instead of a face — see football fan art for how that renders.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good handmade-feeling gift for a boyfriend?
A photo mosaic built from your own photos: 50–300 of them become one portrait he can hang, each tile still sharp up close. It takes an evening to choose the photos, costs from €9.95 as a digital file or €39 printed, and the preview is free.
He doesn't like sentimental things. Will this land?
Mix the relationship photos with the things he is obsessed with — the bike, the team, the band, the mountain — and it reads as a record of his life rather than a romantic gesture. The main image can even be a crest or an object instead of a face.
Which finish works for a rented flat?
Aluminium dibond (from €109) is rigid, matte and hangs from a single fixing. Fine-art paper (from €39) is the cheapest route if he prefers to frame it himself, and the digital file (from €9.95) lets him print at whatever size he has wall for.
How long before I need to order?
Prints take usually 5–12 working days, depending on product and country, including shipping, so allow about three weeks. The digital file arrives by email within minutes of payment and can be printed at a local shop the same day.
What is a photo mosaic?
A photo mosaic is an image made up of many smaller photos (tiles). When you step back, the tiles form a larger picture. Each tile is one of your own photos, making it deeply personal.
Will my individual photos still be visible?
Yes. We place every tile at full strength with true colour-matching, so your photos stay sharp and recognisable up close — a real photo mosaic, with no tinted overlay laid on top. Zoom right into the free preview and see the individual photos before you buy.
Can I order a canvas, framed or acrylic print?
Yes. Fine-art paper from €39, canvas from €79, aluminium Dibond from €109, acrylic glass from €199 and gallery frames from €315, in sizes from 30 × 40 up to 120 × 90 cm. Prints are made by a professional photo lab and shipped to 30+ countries, and every print includes the digital file.
How many photos do I need?
You can create a mosaic from as little as one photo, and the more you add, the more detailed it gets: 30 photos for a free preview, 100+ for the best detail, up to 300.
What file do I get?
A print-ready JPG at the print size you choose — for example 4,724 × 3,543 pixels for 40 × 30 cm or 7,087 × 7,087 pixels for 60 × 60 cm. Standard is €9.95; High-res (€29.95) and Ultra (€49.95) render the same mosaic about 1.5× and 2× larger. The download link is emailed as soon as the file is rendered.
How much does a photo mosaic cost?
The preview is free. Digital files cost €9.95, €29.95 or €49.95 depending on resolution. Prints start at €39 for a 40 × 30 cm fine-art paper print and €79 for canvas, and every print includes the digital file.
Can I print it myself?
Yes. The file is print-ready at the size you chose, so any local print shop or online photo lab can print it at that size or smaller.
Is the preview free?
Yes. Building and previewing your mosaic is free, with no account and no email needed, and you can zoom into every tile. You only pay if you download the file or order a print.
