Your pet as a
mosaic portrait.

Three styles of pet portrait

Brick portrait: your pet rebuilt from brick pieces in 3D, with an LDraw file you can open in brick-building apps to inspect the model and see which parts it uses.

Emoji portrait: thousands of emoji, color-matched to fur and eyes. You could limit it to animal and food emoji.

Photo mosaic: the pictures on your camera roll, arranged into one big portrait.

Which style suits your pet?

Bricks suit pets with bold markings and strong contrast, such as a tabby, a spotted dog or a black cat on a light background. Emoji suit playful personalities and colorful photos. A photo mosaic made from their own pictures suits a pet with years of camera roll behind them, and it's the most personal of the three.

Not sure? Upload the photo once and switch between styles. The photo stays loaded, so trying all three takes a minute.

Choosing a photo of your pet

The eyes carry a pet portrait. Choose a photo taken at their eye level, with light on the face and the eyes in focus. Dark or solid-colored pets need more contrast, so shoot near a window. Remove the background and put them on a plain color that contrasts with their fur.

Removing the background

Background removal (1 AI credit) cuts your pet out of the photo so the mosaic spends every tile on them rather than on the sofa. Put them on a plain color that contrasts with their fur, such as a light background for a dark dog or a dark one for a white cat.

A gift you designed yourself

Commissioned pet portraits can be expensive and take weeks to arrive. With Mosey you design it yourself in minutes, see exactly what you'll get, then decide whether it becomes a canvas from any print shop, a brick build or a 3D print.

Printing, framing and gifting

For a print, square formats suit most pet portraits. A brick build can sit on a shelf or go in a frame, and a 3D-printed relief works as a desk piece. Whichever you choose, you get the file, so you decide where it's printed or built and what you spend.
