Brick animation: any picture built brick by brick
Brick Animation turns a picture into a mosaic of toy bricks and then builds it in front of you, brick by brick, like a stop-motion film. The bricks are laid in courses like a wall, in the usual sizes from 2 x 8 down to 1 x 1 with staggered joints, on a studded baseplate. Pick how they arrive, from bricks placed by hand to a rain of falling ones, and the build ends with a band of light across the finished mosaic.
How it works
Add a picture
Upload a PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, AVIF or SVG, or pick a sample. Clear shapes and strong colors read best in bricks.
Shape the build
Set how many studs across, the finish, the colors (the picture's own, its main colors, one color or a brick palette) and the build style, then the build time, the frame rate and the final shine.
Export it
Sign in with a free UX Pilot account to export an MP4, WebM or GIF of the build, a PNG of any moment, or put it on the UX Pilot canvas.

FAQ
What is a brick animation?
A brick animation shows a picture being built out of toy bricks, one brick after another, the way a stop-motion film is shot frame by frame. Brick Animation makes the mosaic from your picture and plays the build for you.
How is it different from Brick Mosaic Maker?
Brick Mosaic Maker draws a still mosaic of square tiles to use as an image. Brick Animation lays real brick sizes in courses and builds them over time, with nine build styles, a final shine and a video export.
Can I export the build as a video?
Yes. Sign in with a free UX Pilot account to export it as an MP4, a WebM or a GIF, or a PNG of any moment of the build. The free plan exports a short HD video with a small mark.
What do hover and click do?
They are for the live preview only. Bricks lift under the pointer, or a lamp makes the studs glint, and a click picks a brick up so you can set it down somewhere else. Files never show any of it.
