❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What if the generated image effect is not ideal?

A: Try the following methods:

  • ✅ Increase the number of tile images (recommended 500+)
  • ✅ Use more diverse tile images
  • ✅ Adjust the grid size parameter
  • ✅ Ensure tile images are clear and have good color distribution

Q2: What if the processing speed is very slow?

A: Processing speed depends on several factors:

  • The resolution of the target image
  • The grid size (number of tiles)
  • The size of the tile image library

Q3: How to update to the latest version?

A: The program has a built-in auto-update feature:

  1. Automatically checks for updates every time it starts
  2. Prompts for update when a new version is found
  3. Click the version number in the bottom right corner to manually check for updates
  4. Supports background download, one-click installation after download completes

Q4: Why are so many tile images needed?

A: The principle of the mosaic effect is to use the colors of small images to match each area of the target image. The more tile images, the richer the color choices, and the better the matching effect. It's like a painter's palette: the more colors, the more exquisite the painting.
