Legofy, making (moving) images into so many little bricks
November 30, 2015 8:24 PM Subscribe
Legofy is a python program (hosted on github) that takes a static image or gif and makes it so that it looks as if it was created by 1x1 LEGO bricks. For example: a gif; a small work of art; a large work of art; recursive LEGO-ification. [via reddit]
filthy light thief: "And no, this program doesn't limit the color palette to official LEGO colors, but I'm sure someone smarter than me can make that happen."
Actually, there's a command-line switch that does exactly that.

Or you can do it the old way if you insist.

Is there any way to use this if you're not, um, computer-ishly inclined?

There is also this online one, which is for making a lego wall I think rather than a mosaic, but does broadly the same thing.

It doesn't have all the features, but I made an online version here that lets you try it out.

PicToBrick looks like a pretty robust multi-platform program (made in JAVA, FOSS). There's also an iOS app and Mac program called Photobricks, an official Lego iPhone mosaic app, and there's an interesting discussion of other options in the Brickset forum.
