Mazaika
Mazaika is a professional photo mosaic tool.
Mazaika can create pictures made of other pictures. Here is a samples gallery of these pictures. On the Mazaika page you can see screenshots and few mosaic examples. There are lot more example pictures at gallery section. Besides many small pictures there are some very hi res pictures which you can print as big as A3 or even larger.
Using Mazaika you can make professional looking mosaic pictures from almost any kind and type of image files. You can use even simple icon files (at size 32x32 pixels) to create very impressive mosaic pictures. If you have a digital camera, you can use your own pictures as tiles. Note that even in trial version of Mazaika you have no limit on the image database size and you could use as many of your own custom picture tiles as you want - or rather, as you have :-).
In the Mazaika Users Gallery section of our site you may find a number of real photographic mosaic examples created by the users of our software.
Mazaika is the ONLY photo mosaic application that allows manual changes to every single tile in the finished mosaic. If you don't like an image, substitute it with another matching candidate image! And even more! You might insert custom images as a sort of personal signature, or as a hidden picture riddle (as in a "Where are they?" puzzle book). Or you might need to make sure that a particularly well-liked image is not passed over as a tile; for example that Uncle Ernie appears somewhere in your final mosaic.
If you're short on image files - you can download some of our image collections (for instance, about 3500 lp/cd covers or windows icon collection). Also we have placed a part of our postcard collection that we have used for mosaic creation. There are 700+ vintage Soviet New Year postcards here.
Mazaika is released as shareware. You can see its technical specification and download a free trial version. Also read how you can make images like this pin-up girl face with a free trial version of Mazaika.

...Tomas, England, 2003
"Mazaika is one of the best investments in software I have ever made!!"
...Mike, USA, 2004
"I purchased Mazaika a couple of weeks ago and am very pleased with it. This was after trying to produce a mosaic of my mother-in-law through a commercial service. We just could not get it to look suitable – there was always shading problems or cells incorrectly placed. Mazaika came through and we ended up with a nice end result. Thanks for your efforts!"
...Bill, USA, 2006
"The Mazaika software works great and has done great things for our facility."
...David, Visual Information Manager, 2007

Photo Jumble
An easy way to assemble multiple photos on one page.
Photo Jumble uses a different approach to making collages. In Photo Jumble you can create collages with non regular, randomly placed and rotated layers with different aspect ratios.
Photo Jumble allows you to create magnificent collages that look like an unordered pile of photos viewed close up. It can also be used to easy create scrapbook type collages, index photo pages and so on...
Some user comments:
"I am having a great time with your software! It's so cool! Thanks for
making something so amazing and affordable! This is by far the best image
processing I've seen for the mass market. The speed in which the rendering
is done is incredible. I am a software engineer. I know how difficult it is
to design an good GUI application. Your software is excellent and you
deserve every penny you make on your projects!"
...Emil, USA, 2008
"The ability to do picture placement along a spiral was absolutely revolutionary for us in laying out this image. That feature alone completely solved our primary challenge. If I was stuck with only the option of a simple grid, I'd think long and hard before deciding to use mosaic software for a cover like this.
Next thing, the layers.... ..it's a cinch to replace any picture through drag and drop. One can to increase a cell's size, turn it conveniently or even improbably.This offers endless new possibilities, which I have just begun tapping with this image..."
...Vladimir Kapustin, Russia, 2007.
"Boris your new program works great on new killer Vista computer. All I can say is DAMN I love it !!!!"
...Mike, USA, 2007
