What Rapid-Mosaic is
Rapid-Mosaic creates a large photo mosaic from many smaller photos, using either its online service or downloadable Windows software. Its styles include Classic, Parquet, Detail, and Chaos. A preview lets users compare variations and adjust tile size and blending with the original image. The online preview is free, and its settings can be changed before deciding whether to order a print or purchase a high-resolution JPG download. The Standard Windows software creates mosaics locally without uploading source photos; the Professional software adds saving mosaics as JPG, multicore support, and 64-bit support. Standard is free, while Professional costs £29.00 once, including sales tax. The online service accepts uploads from smartphones, tablets, PCs, and Macs, but the downloadable software does not work with Mac OS X or Linux. The maker says uploaded images and related data can be deleted manually or are automatically deleted after a year without website access. Print and order data are retained longer for quality assurance, reordering, and legal traceability.
