In the image above we can see the main user interface of this free mosaic creator. At the top we have the standard user menu where you can access basic options. Under that, on the left, you have an open file dialog where you can browse for images where you want to apply the mosaic effect. Under that bar there’s a library of images which are gonna be used for the mosaic. Here you can add new ones and delete existing ones by selecting Add Folder or Remove Folder. On the right side, you have two buttons; Fixed and Adaptive, which are used to adjust the type of mosaic effect. Under that, you have advanced settings for mosaic creation which you can of course tweak.
