Photo to bricks
Your photograph, reimagined in bricks.
Turn an object photo into a 3D brick design with an interactive preview, PDF building instructions and a parts list.
Start with one clearly visible object.
Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP photograph up to 8 MB. Keep the whole object in frame, use even light and leave some space around the subject. A three-quarter view reveals more depth than a flat front view.
The shortest side must be at least 128 pixels and the image must contain no more than 25 megapixels.
From your photo to one shared design.
The service first generates a three-dimensional source from your photo, then converts its geometry and colors into a brick design. All selected sizes use that same source. You do not need to choose an object category.
See the result before following the guide.
Each selected size includes an interactive brick preview, online steps, a PDF booklet, a CSV parts list and an instructions package. Source 3D files remain private intermediate data; they are not downloadable.
A photo cannot show every surface.
Hidden geometry is inferred. Small details, thin attachments, transparent materials and subtle colors may change. Review the finished preview and digital checks. These files do not include physical bricks, purchasing or delivery.
From an idea to actual instructions.
