Update 2022: This website no longer exists now. We recommend you to try some other alternative instead.
PlaidPrint is a free website to create photo mosaic with your Instagram photos. Mosaic as we all know is creating an image using lots of different images. You can select thousands of Instagram photos as tile images to generate a large image. Even if you have only few images on your Instagram account, it can create a mosaic with those images. However, mosaic looks good when plenty of images are used.
You can also use hashtag or public photos of any other user to create a photo mosaic. Unfortunately, you can’t save your photo mosaic with its free subscription. Although thumbnail size of your mosaic can be saved to PC, but to download your mosaic in high-resolution and size, you need to buy it.

How To Create Photo Mosaic with Your Instagram Photos using This Free Website?
Generating a photo mosaic using this website is a very easy task. Click on the link placed at the end of this review to open the homepage of this website. After this, tap on CONNECT TO INSTAGRAM button and sign in with your Instagram account.
You will come to the dashboard of your account. On the right side, you will find two main tabs: Images and ‘Different User or hashtag‘.
Images tab will show all the photos available in your Instagram account. You can select any image that will become the main image of your mosaic. Rest of the images will come as tile images in your photo mosaic.
When you want to use the images of other users (if profile of that user is public only), then you can use Different User or hashtag tab. Otherwise, use your own images to create photo mosaic.
After selecting the main image, just tap on Create button. All your photos will process for generating the mosaic. It may take some time depending upon the total number of images. You can submit your email address to get notification when mosaic is generated. After generating the mosaic, you can preview it, share it with people, but cannot download it.
You can take a screenshot of your mosaic or can download its thumbnail. To get the high-resolution mosaic with large size, you have to buy it.
Similarly, you can generate more mosaics. All your mosaics are stored in My prints section.
Conclusion:
No doubt, PlaidPrint is really useful when you have to generate mosaic from your Instagram photos. However, it doesn’t include an option to save mosaic as an image on PC with this free subscription which might disappoint users. Still, it is good to use to generate a beautiful mosaic.
