Create a photo-mosaic of any image!
You choose small image "tiles", and 1000 Selfies places them in a grid. The more tiles you add, the more they look like your starting image.
• Snap a photo, or use an image from your gallery.
• Choose a category for your tiles, such as nature, animals, or—this month—Christmas.
• Swipe left or right to pick your favorite tiles.
• Repeat. A lot!
(Q) That's all?
(A) Yes, sort of.
At first, the mosaic seems to be just a simple collage of the tiles you picked. That's nice, but there's a surprise ahead. As you add tiles, the mosaic gradually looks more and more like your original image! (To help see what's happening, you can tap the mosaic to blur the tiles a bit. Or simply squint your eyes.)
(Q) When am I done?
(A) Whenever you want. Here are some ideas:
Play a Guessing Game
Stop after only a few tiles. Can your friends guess the original image?
Create an Optical Illusion
Stop at the "sweet spot". Often between 100 and 200 tiles, you can see the individual tiles and the overall image at the same time!
Hide an Image in Plain Sight
Add even more tiles, and print the mosaic as a wall poster. Up close, people only see the tiles; they need to back away to see the big picture.
Step by Step
Does your friend like animals?
1. Snap her photo.
2. Choose "Animals".
3. Pick 10 or 20 animal images.
4. Then look at the mosaic tab.
See? 1000 Selfies is placing those animal tiles where they best match her photo.
5. Keep adding cute animal photos to your mosaic.
6. Stop after you can recognize your friend.
7. Save the mosaic to your gallery.
8. Zoom out, the mosaic looks like her. Zoom in, it's animal pictures!
Trick Him
Your boyfriend won't put your picture on his wall? Trick him!*
1. Snap a cute selfie.
2. Choose "Sports".
3. Swipe right when you see a sports photo that he'll like.
4. After a few minutes, save your finished mosaic.
5. Later, present him with a poster-size print.
"It's a mosaic of sports images!"
He will appreciate your thoughtful gift, but you'd better leave before he sees it from a distance!
