What Mazaika is
Mazaika is desktop software for turning a source image into a mosaic assembled from pictures in a collection. It replaces areas of the source with matching images, and lets you edit individual tiles if a chosen picture does not suit the result. Controls include real-time color correction and blending, tile sharpening, smart and manual rendering, repetition control, and batch processing. Full versions export JPG, TIF, PSB, BMP, TXT, or HTML, including clickable HTML pages with zoom. They also support unlimited mosaic resolution and very large output files. Mazaika runs on Windows and macOS; Linux use is supported through Crossover (WINE). The Mac version can build image libraries from iPhoto, Aperture, Apple Photos, folders, or individual files. A free 30-day trial limits output to 2500x2500 pixels, tile size to 32x32, and export to JPG. Mac and Windows full-version licenses each cost $49.95 once.
