Pixel Prose app icon — a camera made of mosaic tiles

A picture is worth
a thousand words.

Now it can be made of them. Pixel Prose rebuilds any photo out of your own text — a poem, a message, a name — so that up close it's words and from a distance it's a picture.

Coming soon on the App Store See how it works

Three steps

No account, no setup. Pick a photo, type your words, and watch it appear.

Choose a photo

From your library, or take one with the camera. Portraits, landscapes, pets, logos — anything with a clear shape works beautifully.

Type your words

Type or paste a poem, lyrics, a message to someone you love. The text repeats to fill the whole picture.

Make it yours

The mosaic stays on screen while you adjust it. Drag a slider and it redraws instantly. Then save or share.

Shape it live

Your mosaic is pinned at the top, so you always see the effect of every change.

Detail

From 20 to 160 columns — a bold, chunky mosaic or a fine, photographic one.

Horizontal & vertical spacing

Pull the letters tight until they overlap, or spread them out with air between, from 0 to 200%.

Brightness & contrast

Make the colours glow against the black background, or soften them.

Skip spaces

Pack the letters into a solid texture, or keep the gaps between your words.

Save & share

Save the finished picture to your library or send it from the share sheet — ideal for gifts, cards and posters.

Free

Nothing to buy, no subscription, no watermark.

Private by design

Everything happens on your device. Your photos and your words are never uploaded. No account, no ads, no tracking, and it works with no internet connection at all.
