BMBrick
Photo to LEGO mosaic — preview, parts list & PDF plans
BMBrick transforms your favorite photos into intricate LEGO mosaics, providing all the necessary tools and instructions to bring your brick art to life. Key features include:
• Perceptual color engine for accurate brick color matching
• Edge and gradient preservation for detailed results
• In-browser background removal for reduced piece count
• Comprehensive PDF instructions and parts lists
• Cost estimates and export options for various brick vendors
This application uses an advanced perceptual color engine, based on OKLab, to ensure brick colors closely match human vision and preserve subtle photo details often lost by other tools. Its unique ability to maintain edges and gradients means your mosaics will capture more fidelity from the original image. The integrated background removal feature, dubbed 'Magic Cut,' operates entirely within your browser, significantly reducing the number of bricks required for portraits—for example, a 96x96 portrait can drop from 9,216 to just 2,930 pieces, cutting material costs by up to 68%.
Once your design is perfected, BMBrick generates anti-fatigue PDF instructions that are easy to follow, along with detailed parts lists. These lists can be exported directly for brick sourcing from popular vendors like LEGO Pick a Brick, Webrick, and BrickLink, including structure BOMs and route-specific estimates. The entire process is browser-based, ensuring your photos remain on your device for privacy and security.
BMBrick is ideal for hobbyists, gift-givers, and creators looking to craft unique personalized LEGO art from photographs. Whether you're making a custom pet portrait, a family keepsake, or detailed wall art, this tool provides a seamless experience from photo selection to final construction, making complex mosaic creation accessible and enjoyable.
