Tiler is an open-source tool that creates complex images by assembling many smaller images or shapes into a mosaic-style composition. Unlike traditional mosaic generators that rely on simple square grids, Tiler supports tiles with multiple shapes and sizes, allowing far more creative and flexible visual patterns. The software analyzes a target image and reconstructs it using a collection of smaller tile images or shapes that collectively approximate the original picture. This approach enables the creation of artistic mosaics built from objects such as circles, lines, letters, LEGO-style blocks, or other custom shapes. Because tiles can vary in form and arrangement, the resulting compositions can resemble handcrafted artwork rather than rigid pixel grids. Tiler is commonly used for creative visualization projects, digital art, and experimental image processing workflows.
