Build times are estimates. Your own pace will vary.
A 9-hour mosaic does not need one long day. Most people build a section at a time, a baseplate or two per evening, and bring the pieces together at the end. Bricks come sorted in labeled bags by color, and the printed color map shows you where each one goes.
The 16×16 (2,500 pieces, about 2.5 hours) and the 20×20 (4,096 pieces, about 4 hours) fit in a single weekend afternoon. They are a kind way to start if you have not built a brick mosaic before.
From 30×30 up, the build becomes a shared activity. Spread the bags on a table and let everyone take a baseplate. The finished piece is something the whole family can point to.
For the larger sizes, the product pages list how many people suit the photo: 40×20 fits 1 to 3 people, 30×30 and 20×50 fit 1 to 4, 30×40, 30×50 and 40×40 fit 1 to 5, and 40×50 fits 1 to 6. If your photo has a group, go larger so every face has enough bricks.
For the smaller sizes, upload your photo and check the preview. It shows your photo as a mosaic before you order.
Frames are available for these sizes: 16×16, 20×20, 20×30 and 30×20, 30×30, 30×40 and 40×30, and 40×40. Check the product page for current prices and availability.

Start with the photo. One or two faces suit a smaller size. A group suits a larger one. Then think about wall space and how long you want to build. Upload your photo and use the preview to compare.
It depends on the size. A 16×16 has 2,500 pieces, a 20×20 has 4,096, a 30×30 has 9,216, and a 40×50 has 20,480. All pieces are 1×1 bricks.
Estimates run from about 2.5 hours for a 16×16 to about 20 hours for a 40×50. You can split the build across several evenings.
No. Frames are sold separately.
The product pages list 1 to 4 people for 30×30, 1 to 5 for 30×40, 40×40 and 30×50, and 1 to 6 for 40×50. Use the preview to see how your photo looks.
