PicText is a free online photo mosaic editor and text mosaic maker. You type a word, upload photos, and those photos tile inside each letter as mosaic typography. You can also place text behind an image subject and download a transparent PNG.

How do I make a photo mosaic from text?

Sign in to PicText, type a short word, upload one or more photos, and the app tiles them inside each letter. Adjust font, filters, canvas shape, and tile shuffle, then download your photo mosaic as a PNG.

Can I put text behind an image?

Yes. PicText is a text-behind-image editor: add a background photo, turn on Text behind, and the app cuts out the subject so your mosaic letters sit behind the person or object while the scene stays visible.

Is PicText a free photo editor?

Yes. PicText is a free browser-based photo mosaic editor. Sign in with Google to open the editor, create mosaic typography, use text-behind-image, and export PNGs at no cost.

Does PicText upload or store my photos?

No. Editing runs in your browser. Drafts stay on your device. PicText does not upload your photos to a server for mosaic or cutout processing.

What can I export from PicText?

You can download a PNG of your photo mosaic text. Exports support transparent backgrounds, landscape, portrait, and square canvas sizes — useful for posters, social posts, and print.

What is the best use case for a text mosaic?

Short words work best: names, trips, dates, events, or brand words. PicText turns your photos into letter-shaped mosaics — ideal for gifts, social graphics, and photo word art.
